I live for days like this




Mike has been working long, long hours lately. He leaves for work before Ryan gets out of bed and gets home after Ryan is in bed for the night. I work nights and by time I get home, he is usually already sleeping. At one point he hadn't seen Ryan or talked to me for 3 days. Poor guy, but you gotta do what needs to be done. So finally after a week of working 8 -13 hour days straight, he had friday off (so did I). So we took Ryan to the Ventura County Fair. A day of just us, bonding as a family. Enjoying happy moments and crying, cranky ones. Even the bad moments don't spoil the good ones. A day where you can just be you and be with your family, those are the days that I live for. With the people that keep me going. Those are the days that make you put things into prospective. The little things don't matter anymore and it reminds you that there are more important things in life than money and material things. This day came just when I needed it. I realized that everything I need is right in front of me.
