THE BEST DAY EVER!

My favorite movie of the year, 'Despicable Me'... loved it, adored it, seen it twice, gotta own it! Yesterday Keala ran around the house (for no apparent reason) yelling "This is the best day EVER!"... thats from a scene in the aforementioned movie.  (Still...you gotta see it! Are you listening to me?!)  I laughed at Keala's wittiness. (Is that a word?) But every once in a while I want to run around like a 5 year old kid yelling  "This is the best day EVER!"  I admit it, I'm impulsive, I could do it one day! Double-dog-dare me? 

So, it could be the 76 degree F temperature outside or the fact that I just 'felt like it' to deem today one of the "Best Day's EVER!"  (Just for no apparent reason.) I have to prelude what I'm about to say with what has happened already today.  I woke up from 5 hours of sleep (thank you 'insomnia') to my sweet baby boy's cheek blown up bigger than Alvin and all the Chipmunks.  (He wasn't even complaining!) I looked at him in horror and quietly asked "Kai, are you chewing on something? Whats in your mouth?" Response from Kai: look of confusion, pause, more looks of confusion. I immediately administered the age-appropraite dose of Children's Tylenol and promptly called his dentist.  Waiting for dentist call back. Prescription of antibiotics called in. Killed time doing workout on treadmill, keeping a careful examination on son's left jaw bone. Confirm with pharmacy if prescription is filled.  They haven't checked their voice mail yet!  I gently encourage them to do so, secretly wanting to wrap my sausage fingers around someone's neck.  Carefully now administering age-appropriate dose of Ibuprogen to said child. (Info-update: surgery already scheduled in 2 weeks to remove rotten teeth!) Finally get prescription filled, run said child back to school, carefully administer age-appropriate dose of adult anti-anxiety, case closed.  (Just kidding about the anti-anxiety, I just added it in for dramatic effect!)  But thank you friends and family for offering... Then ran Keala around the house to ready her for school, juggling my time to meet BFF at a movie for a mom's 'time-out', only to run out the door with too many things in my hand and drop my cell phone which shattered in 2 directions directly under my car.  Backed out the car (carefully) and tried to put back together said cell phone, only to find it not working for ten minutes of undescribable horror! Finally backed out of my driveway (forgetting my bottled water) and drove half-way down the street only to look in my rear view mirror and find my family pet, "the dog", chasing behind my car. Stop car. Said pet jumps in. Take 'pet' back home. (Forgetting again, bottled water!)  Call BBF and explain tardiness.  And finally arrive to planned destination to enjoy my now second favorite movie of the year...  "Easy A"  ....H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!  (Loved it, adored it, gonna see it twice, gotta own it!)

So why is this the best day EVER!  Aaaah... could be the weather, or a good movie, or time with a favorite BFF, or thinking of how much I love my witty daughter, or my sweet, bulgy-cheek son.  Or being grateful my family cares about my silly drama.  Or flattered at the thought that after 5 hours of sleep I could still get in about 3 miles. (Don't laugh... thats a big deal for me!)  Or just feeling plain happy for once. I dunno. I just decided to deem this 'the best day EVER'! (For no apparent reason.)
