John Mayer My Stupid Mouth
I love the song, always have, and today I truly relate! Remember yesterday when I was talking about my birthday and I said I wasn't spoiled and that I just really like birthdays? Well, I do really like birthdays but I guess I am a little spoiled. My 40th birthday (the actual day) didn't live up to my great expectations in my mind. It was a Monday - not a great day to celebrate. My daughter had a volleyball game until 6:00 about a 1/2 hour away so a late dinner. My husband didn't even come home until after he picked her up and I had only seen him briefly in the morning when he was jokingly giving me a hard time about my age. I guess in my mind this birthday would be something crazy special. Don't get me wrong - the presents were amazing and I truly enjoy an evening out with the family!
Tomorrow we are going on a Segway tour with my best friend and her husband. We have been on one before and had a blast so I am really looking forward to it! The weather will be nice and Segways are just FUN! That leads me to tonight.... We were driving to pick up my daughter from volleyball and I asked my husband what we were doing after the tour. I said, "I hope it is something fun because my birthday kinda sucked." UGH!!!! Open mouth and insert foot!!! I immediately tried to retract my words but they were already out and heard :( I explained that I meant everything I just explained the previous paragraph but too late....the feelings were hurt and I was the culprit. That sucks! My wonderful husband just said, "Then tomorrow should be good." Of course tomorrow will be good!! And I will appreciate the time out with him and my friends and have a great time no matter what!
The irony of this is that one of birthday presents is a wonderful bracelet and the inspirational quote is:
Guess I need to wear that more and give thanks to God more. I am blessed and need to keep that at the forefront of my wandering mind!
Lesson hopefully learned :)
