Yesterday began as the perfect day. My kids had a
friend over, and they were all three playing nicely. The sun was
shining, there was a cool breeze, and I had opened up all of the windows
and doors and the house felt like an extension of this fine day. The
kids and I were baking muffins, and the house smelled delicious. The
kids were playing so nicely together I decided to put photos into a
photo album.
Suddenly the mood changed. “I can’t find my guinae pig!!!” and then “mom, my guinae pig is LOST!!!”
Our ideal world crumbled. Suddenly I’m looking at
crying kids, and a sleepless night of hunting. I cuddled up with my
little one and assured her that it would be O.K. I wasn’t so sure. We’d
lost pets before, and it was never O.K. unless you count replacement
pets as O.K.
I got the little one to sleep and the older sister
started working a new angle, “Mom, can we get a kitten if Millie’s
guinae pig is gone?” I said yes because I felt like it, but qualified it
with, “whatever Millie wants.”
Ah yes, Valentine’s Day. All I want for Valentine
’s Day is lower blood pressure, a good night’s sleep and less stress.
Maybe finding the guinae pig and setting our lovely world back on axis
would be nice. In today’s complex world, stress lingers in the shadows.
Late for work, lost pets, burning dinner, these things happen and stress
us out, but you are reading the blog on a promotional products website,
and it is my job (and privilege) to tell you that we have heart shaped
stress relievers. You can custom print them with your special message
and give the gift of calm this Valentine’s Day.
