I forget I don't do well with anesthesia. It makes me cold, cranky, mean, and not at all pleasant to be around. Usually anesthesia requires an overnight stay. This way, the people in my life aren't adversely affected by this. Not so yesterday. And I was a bear.
I was snarky at the diner. I was snarky at home. I needed help making my bed - and although Bella did put the pillowcases on the pillows, I needed help with the sheets.
And this is where my competently incompetent children made a visit. Who would think putting a fitted sheet and a flat sheet on a bed would be so difficult.
I lost my one mind; yelled at them to get out of my room, did it myself and stomped back downstairs for a little while. I brought back my quasi normal nice personality, apologized and went upstairs to bed by 7:30. I finished a book and had the lights off by 8:45. I didn't sleep well.
BUT - today IS a new day. There is magic in love. My kids know I really love them and without that, I would probably feel a little guilty for my behavior last night. However, right now, I really just want them to learn how to make a bed.

This is a magnificent piano piece by the extraordinarily talented Peter Kater. I love his music; it's good for your soul. Take a listen.
