My Day

One of my faults is that I have tendency to see things through rose colored spectacles. I expect a lot from myself and others, especially my family members and so when things don't go according to my plan,they don't usually see it, but I'm the one who ends up being frustrated and disappointed.
Today was one of those days. Not only was it Independence Day, but it was my wedding anniversary too, so traditionally in the past we've always gathered as a family. What went wrong today is beyond me. The boys who live at home went out, the one who doesn't didn't even call, the bbq was really rather lame, Katelynn was so hyper today she pretty much screamed throughout the whole day and then to top it off I never got to see the fireworks as Brent had to pick up my son in law from work at pretty much the time they were due to be on. The photos I had planned to take with my 3 grandchildren wearing their stars and stripes outfits never materialized and now it's past July 4th and they're still hanging brand new in my closet.
I did a couple of useful things today but for the whole I just felt sad and disappointed. Oh well, tomorrow's another day. I'm supposed to start school tomorrow so I hope my login will work so that I have something more constructive to do other than playing Bejeweled.
