Sad Days are SOOOOOO Productive!!

So, yesterday, I woke up in a really sad mood after dreaming that my baby died because the other kids would not get off my tummy while they were asleep. But that wasn't the bad part (I am pregnant remember...my dreams do not have to make sense...you should hear the one I had Saturday night!) . Anyway, the part that totally got me out of whack was that stupid Target (my favorite store ever!) would not take back any of the cute new little pink things that I have for the new baby! I was just furious! I had a huge credit at a store that I never wanted to enter again. Yes, I know that is impossible, me never gracing Target's doors, but that is beside the point! So, with gloom hanging over my head, I do what all rational thinking women do. I painted a room. I decided to add white stripes in the upper portion of the girls sleeping room, as Gracie refers to it. Now, that part of the wall is cream colored. I did realize that it would be a very subtle stripe, but after spending the afternoon painting them instead of napping, it was a little disconcerting to see just how subtle it was. I pulled Cam in there and asked what he noticed that I did today. He looks around with this grin that tells me "crap. I am going to get this wrong and she is going to either cry or turn all her pregnancy frustrations on me". And yes, he got it wrong the first two guesses. He guessed that I hung shelves. Shelves!! They have been up for weeks. And he has even commented on how nice they looked. Maybe it was that the shelves were bare because I had painted...Anyway, you all would be proud. I just laughed. No tears, no angry outburst, just laughter that made the day so much better! Oh, did I mention that I also made one large lasagna and two to freeze? AND cookies? Maybe I should be sad more often. I even got the groceries bought...
