Yesterday M had a bad day. The worst day ever according to her. She had a bad day at school (including having an allergic reaction to her flu shot), a bad day at Dad's house (even yelled at him), was late for soccer (which was embarrassing) and ran out of time so she did not get dessert.
But this morning M woke up in a great mood. As I was getting ready M said "Mom, today will be a better day." She was so happy and cooperative, that we decided to go out to breakfast before school. A real treat! M got dressed, made her lunch , packed her bag and fed the dog all in record time.
Off we went. To Friendly's. Or so we thought. Who knew Friendly's did not open until 8:30am during the week for breakfast????? So M chose to go to Atkins (a local farm-stand marketplace cafe). We split a cinnamon bun, some wonderful fresh fruit and fresh hot apple cider. The whole time we ate, M kept coming up with ideas to make sure that today was a better day.
We drove to school and M sang Bad Romance at the top of her lungs while staring off into space out the window. I love listening to her sing her little heart out. As we pulled in the parking lot M said:
"Thanks Mom. I really needed that. Today will be a better day. I can just tell. I love you."
Some days it is hard to be a Mom. Other days it is easy. This morning was wonderful!
