Day 3 of actually doing my hair, putting make up on. Could it be I actually care about myself for a change? My day started early when my darling eldest daughter forgot a folder for school. Not too long ago that would have made me furious, and would have ruined my entire day. But I popped out of bed, threw on some clothes, and bebopped right to the school with a smile on my face. Heck, I didn't even go back to bed after.
I feel like a whole new person, discovering a whole new world, and a whole new life. I want to play music, and record it, and share it. Fear of ridicule, fear of letting people see too far into my soul kept me from doing more with my music in the past. So many changes, I just want to sop it all up with a biscuit.
Steve and I took the girls out for dinner tonight. We were supposed to go to Buffalo Wild wings together as a date, but Mackenzie used her mad skills to get us to take her, and pick up Delaney from school so she could go too. Initially she wanted to just lie to Delaney, tell her that we picked Mackenzie up at Jonathan's house on our way home from dinner. No way we could do that. Delaney was tired, not too much into going out to dinner. We ended up having a great time anyway, even Delaney. Our kids are hilarious, and gutsy. They're fun to hang out with.
It's amazing how much stink can come out of a teenage girl, though. Mack about gassed us out of the explorer on the way home, which made her giggle with juvenile glee.
Tomorrow we head to Michigan for Spring Break. I'd rather stay home, but a promise is a promise, so off we go. It will be nice to see some friends in Detroit, friends from high school, and the family. But, I will miss Steve terribly. I feel like I've rediscovered him all over again, and I find myself more in love with him than ever.
Life is good.
