Rainbows

Well yesterday was my 25th birthday. I am not a fan of my birthday, something bad almost always happens on my birthday. So I decided that this year my birthday was not going to be anything special, just another day, I even went to work. 
Let me tell you how my day went down! Well I woke up to Melody throwing up and complaining that she felt ill, oh joy, just what I need, my family passing around some kind of bug. I then felt guilty leaving her to go to work but knew that Nate would take good care of her. So arrive at work and before I have even clocked in, I find myself getting yelled at about something from the day before that was not even my fault. Needless to say, the rest of my shift stunk. I decided that I was going to stay positive and enjoy my day. Well I arrived home in better spirits and Melody was feeling so much better so I was happy and excited to hang out with my family for the day.

I decided we needed groceries and a birthday cake, so I told Nate I would run out and get them and be back quickly to bunker down, pig out and watch movies with the kids. HAHA. I got too excited I guess. Next thing I know I have hit some stupid guy's car and caused mild damage to his bumper. Totally ruined my mood! Needless to say, Nate decided we would go shopping as a family :)  We grabbbed the food, picked up some Chili's as well and headed home for our great day! Get home and I dropped the 12 pack of rootbeer in the parking lot and dented EVERY single can! I was so flustered to say the least! But, as we are about to walk through the door, Melody spotted a rainbow and was beaming! She said "the rainbow came just for your birthday Mom!" I turned and looked at the rainbow in a whole new way, I saw it the way Melody was seeing it, as something new and beautiful! It was there to remind me that its all about attitude! 
The rest of my day was so relaxing and enjoyable and I decided all in all it was a great birthday! This morning Melody told me "my favorite part of yesterday was seeing your special present, the rainbow!" I told her that was my favorite too!
