Today

I didn't love today.  I guess I was due for a rough day since I've had a string of months that were quite fabulous, so I can take one cruddy day.  Let's just say it started with my dog puking and I may or may not have sobbed in a federal building this afternoon.  (Getting a passport for Shine.)  I cannot remember the last time I cried in public.  Normally I am a bit self conscious if I cry in public and try to hide it, but I did not care one bit.  I cried in the passport office, I cried all the way down the elevator with another guy on it, and through the federal building lobby, and I cried while David was talking to security, and while walking two blocks through busy downtown streets, and then it finally ended in a Walgreens.  It felt good, and it's better than yelling I suppose.  Thank goodness for my sweet, calm husband.  Oh Davey.  I love you. We have been together almost seven years, and not once have you ever told me to stop crying.  You let me have my moment and let it out.  It never helps when you start crying and someone says, "Don't cry."  Well it never helps me at least. 

Today really was not all the bad.  I think I am just very, very tired.  My 10 month old child does not sleep through the night anymore.  She used to.   She has slept through the night once in the last two months due to a combination of traveling and being sick.  Needless to say, I'm exhausted. But I need to keep it all in perspective.  She is healthy and lovely, and we are all ok, and it will pass, she will eventually get the sleep thing.  So until then, I will have mini evening dates with my camera (just took that shot above) and cupcakes and tea sunsets to keep me happy.  It will all be ok.
