Darcee climbed up and wanted to Snuggle.
She sat there for several minutes.
Here is how our conversation went
A little humor from Darcee
Darcee wanted some extra time on her electronics yesterday. My response to that was, empty and fill the dishwasher. And then we will talk.
Darcee throws her ams up in the air and with a puff of frustration looks at me and says....
Still celebrating that birthday..
Darcee wanted to take me out to eat for my birthday and tonight was the first night we could get away.
She decided on Amigos...on my birthday, she got to pick the restaurant
We ordered our food, she ordered a sweet tea and I had water.
When she was done eating she was anxiously waiting for the check to arrive. It was a mix of excitement....sweet and scary.
She saw how much the check was and fished the money out of her purse with zero hesitation. She was so proud of herself.
The whole way home I kept figuring out new ways to tell her how sweet and thoughtful dinner with her was.
First thing she says to Delilah when she walks in the door with some panic in her voice...
I paid over $30 for that dinner.
Needless to say Darcee has realized how expensive eating out is. Maybe now she will want to eat at home more often.

For the woman who feels inadequate because social media has her mind so jacked up-- take a break and remember not everything you see is real.
For the mom who is scrolling through social media and drools over another
