Everybody has good days and bad. Yo...Hang in there. Everybody has good days and bad. You know how, some days you wake up and feel like you'd rather just stay in bed and make the world go away, but you have to get up and do what you do anyway and, for most of the day, you're just in a funky mood, even though you smile on the outside and go through the motions? Maybe he was having one of those days. Looking back, the terrible whatevers were so fleeting, I don't even remember them -- especially now that I'm dealing with the terrible teens! My advice? Lots of extra hugs for him on the bad-mood days and maybe a margarita or three for you.Bill Dabneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10154805064025002090noreply@blogger.com
