Bad Day Redefined!

I thought I knew what it meant to have a bad day. However, God enlightened me today through my 17 month old that I, in fact, did not know what it was to have a bad day! After this lesson, which I shall share, I have decided that I can be a bit of a whiner and should learn to suck it up, buttercup!

So there we were playing on the back deck. My son was playing happily in a big cooler filled with water. A causality floating in this water was a June Bug. I had no idea how long that June Bug had been floating because we just got home from a several week journey. In the mad splashing about the June Bug splashed out. To my amazement, he started moving his legs wildly in the air(in the air because he had landed on his back), so I flipped him over. He seemed like he was trying to catch his breath after so long a stint in the water. Joshua rediscovered him and commenced a very close inspection of the exhausted and water logged June Bug. Not moving fast enough, Joshua took off on another adventure and finally the bug commenced walking to somewhere far away from the cooler and its water. However, Joshua returned from his adventure to resume playing in the cooler and before I could stop him he raced right over the top of that poor bugger. Did you know that one baby foot can in fact squash a bug?

So, I redefined my definition of a bad day!
