Antidotes to a Lousy Hour
Luckily, it didn’t take much (it was really only an hour, after all, and I didn’t even get any bruises) but it was abundantly, extravagantly erased by:
lots of sympathy from family and friends, both in the computer and out
+ a quiet afternoon playing with my boys
+ Saturday morning at the farmer’s market listening to a friend’s band
+ an afternoon at our friends’ new home, making up for the previous day’s aborted playdate
+ an impromptu barbecue with three other families (8 kids under 6 all playing easily together while the parents eat and visit)
+ Sunday morning’s chocolate-chip coconut coffee cake (happy Father’s Day, Tony!)
+ a sunny afternoon at the San Jose Giants game, both watching the game and, when it got too hot, watching the boys play the carnival games in the parking lot
+ another great dinner with friends (two nights in a row being fed by someone else!)
+ another late night, carrying sleepy, sweaty-headed boys from the car up to bed
= a sunny summer weekend with old friends and happy kids and good food
This sounds like just what the Dr. ordered! I tagged you with a meme: http://awrungsponge.blogspot.com/2007/06/personal-policies-meme.html
