Some days....

Some days you should just get an automatic "do-over" for......

This was a tough day.....Paul and I fought today.  This normally would not upset me as much as it did today; but man, today was a day I just wanted to be good.  Avery was at a play date, the sun was shining, I got 8 hours of sleep....life should have been good.  We were going to buy my wedding ring today.....

Then, it's like it all went left of centre and began spiraling out of control......

Trying to get Paul out of the house on time is always a challenge, but today he seemed even more distracted.  We get into the car, boom!  No keys....then, he doesn't have his phone....so back in he goes...then the phone rings....I holler, out he comes and we pull out of the driveway.  Now we realize we only have about 45 minutes before Avery gets home.....this should be just enough time......then traffic is a bitch, there is construction, and the sun is blaring into our eyes so badly we are both squinting.

Then we get bitchy......

I say, "let's just go home."  He says, "No way, that's stupid...."

yep....

So we get to the mall.  On a Saturday.  Three Saturdays before Christmas.  Yeah....

We find parking, we get halfway through the mall when Paul announced to me, "you shouldn't have rushed me out the door.  Now I forgot my wallet."

And at this point; I am done.  How do you forget your wallet when we are going to buy a wedding ring?  Really???  REALLY??!!??  and here we go......

Let me tell you, that ride home was fun.....

Needless to day, I didn't get my wedding ring that day; and we squawked for another hour and a half.  We have long since dropped it, but this could not be the day I bought my ring.  Wasn't going to happen, despite Paul's attempts to make suggestions like we get someone to watch Avery after her playdate was over or bring her with us.  This just couldn't be the day I got my wedding ring.....
