Blog Dare: 160 - It almost ruined my day
Today's Prompt:
It almost ruined my {birthday, wedding, graduation}
I am laughing, as I have rewritten this four times now. Each time I think of a memory to write about on this topic, I just think about how I flew off the handle for no reason...and it just seems silly now. How many times did I work myself up, expecting perfection and forgot to just enjoy the day? Was it worth it? Did the day or party go on with out the minor details that I flipped out about? Of course they did, but here are a few times I almost let something ruin my day:
- Some guy who wasn't even invited, told me about the surprise party for my 16th birthday...to this day I have never had a surprise party!
- On the day of my high school graduation, my mom and I witnessed a pretty wicked car accident, and stopped to see if the lady was okay...it was only supposed to be a quick run to the store for pantie hose.
- The day of my wedding was a mess...we forgot the marriage license, cake and knife set, the programs weren't handed out, and everything started so late...thank goodness I was marrying my best friend and he was there to calm my over reaction to the minor details.
- Nothing about my son Michael's birth, went according to the birth plan that I was sticking to, come hell or high water...once that little man was in my arms, none of those minor details mattered.
- I made a big deal about turning 30, and I should have just stopped to enjoy the mile stone.
- On Mikey's first birthday I went nuts when the balloons I had ordered weren't ready on time...looking back the balloons really were not necessary!
- I balled like a baby, and asked for my Mommy, when they couldn't find the vein prior to my son Ryan's birth...once again holding a new baby kind of washes away the other drama.
Looking back did you go nuts at an event you planned? Did a minor detail almost ruin your day?
Haha, I think my list would be ten times longer.
ReplyDeleteOh, the list was way longer...but I just couldn't help but think how silly it was to dwell on the number of times I let stress and the minor details get the best of me. Thanks for reading!
