We had one of those days a few weeks ago--Dada was out of town and had been out of town for days, it was rainy, we were sick, we were tired, we were grumpy and we had the evening ahead of us. I had a flash of brilliance (motivated by sheer desperation and a dining room table that was doubling as a sewing station!)--a candlelight dinner for three (+1 on a play mat and several dollies) in the playroom. We dined on leftover pasta, drank wine (water with lemon and ice), and amused ourselves quite nicely.
It was actually just what we needed on this particular day--a jolt to our system, a slight change in our routine but in keeping with our rhythm. There are times when it is so clear to me how to "save the day." There are other times when it is clear to me but I simply do not have the energy or the patience or the stamina to turn around a day that is headed south. And there are still other times when I truly have no idea except to hold me breath until bed time and look forward to a better tomorrow. Here's to more candlelight dinners and kiddos.

it's fantastic that you were able to turn things around! what a great idea!
TOTALLY have the same exact days. Love this sweet idea.
Why is it that I seem to have so few that I'm able to turn around? We have so many "gone south" days you'd think we were living in Louisiana. Wish we lived closer to each other so that you could help me save some of these days:(
