And then she got roses

Let me recap what looked to be a very bleak and depressing day�

• Woke up to kids fighting over Playstation
  
• Tried to sleep until 11 AM, because I won't get to do that much longer on a Monday. Instead, lay in bed until 11 AM listening to kids fight (see above), being too cold or too hot, and trying to ignore phone ringing.
  
• Went to eat breakfast (yes, at 11 AM) but only had a choice of one cereal. Grudgingly choked down Honey Nut Cheerios.
  
• Got asked 450,000 times when we were going to the hobby store, if kid could go outside/inside, if friends could come in, if kid could do this, that, or the other thing.
  
• Cleaned up dog barf.
  
• Spilled half a glass of ginger ale all over kitchen floor, cabinets, walls and probably the ceiling too, but I'm not mopping that.
  
• Took dog out only to find out she just wanted to sniff the entire yard, not do her business.
  
• Left dog out only to listen to her bark at kids, bark at other dogs, bark at wind, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark.
  
• Find muddy footprints across dining room.
  
• Find Booie on back porch changing the entry mat's color from green to brown, only after which she decides to remove shoes.
  
• Get finger slammed in door by Booie.
  
• Cry.

And then�

• Get dozen roses from husband "Just Because�"

I swear the man has telepathy sometimes. Unfortunately, he doesn't always use it. He used it when I really needed it though, and I feel a whole lot better today.
