In direct opposition to yesterday's post, I did not enjoy the hell out of today.
I could probably go on and on about why today was a shit day, but I'm not going to. I'm going to tell you the not-shitty parts of this day.
1. I took the boys to the Santa Clause Parade today. Gray has never been to one before and, though I thought he'd like it, I didn't know how well it would go. I didn't know how well behaved he would be and I didn't know if he would just whine the whole time, like he had for much of the day preceeding.
But it went pretty danged perfectly. He loved it. Both boys loved it. They waved at everyone and were so excited to see the floats. As I sat there, with Grayson on my lap, it was another one of those life-marker moments where I felt like this is exactly where I'm supposed to be at this moment. I always imagined taking my kids to parades like that, and there I was today. It was wonderful.
2. Venting to my wifey. I miss her. I don't see why Calgary has to be so danged far away :(
3. Putting the kids to bed. Next to the parade, that was the best moment of the day.
sigh
Let's try again tomorrow, yes? Yes.
