he loves me

Yesterday, I had an annoying afternoon. I went to run some errands that I thought would be very quick. I was going to mail a package and thought I could mail it using the machine. Well, since I was mailing it to a military address I had to wait in this super long line. Then I went to pick up a prescription just to find out I had called the wrong pharmacy. Then I tried to pick up some pictures and they needed a copy of the copyright release. I only had the original and they didn't have a copier. So, G could tell I was annoyed. So he made me pancakes with strawberries, bananas, whipped cream, syrup and a glass of OJ and said "Here Mommy, will this make you feel better!" I love him! He made it on his IPod! I'm so lucky!
