When you are having a decent day, and your DH works late, giving you alone time (if you manage to get the kids to bed)... Do not sit and read "Chicken Soup for the Parent's Soul".
It's a great book, several books in fact, don't get me wrong. I love flipping through the short stories and picking one based on if I landed on it. I love getting these wonderful glimpses into other people's lives, and knowing that it's REAL... not fantasy.
But when your goal is to relax and enjoy the silence... a soggy face, drippy nose, and blurry eyes won't help you as you sigh, sniff, and flip to another one...
*sniff*
Oh... and if you do... dry it up and hide all evidence before the DH arrives. He won't know what is wrong, and won't understand at all when you truthfully reply "Nothing honey" with a small smile.
[giggling] :D yes.. hard for others to understand :) TEE HEE!
