What's Your Default?

I used to walk around all the time with a smile on my face. My co-workers teased me by calling me "Smiley" and commented on how it made their day to see me because I always had a big, ear-to-ear smile on. Even when I was crying inside, my default facial expression was a smile.

I walked with a spring in my step, a smile on my face; that was my default.

I don't smile as much anymore.…

Bad Mommy!

Shocking?

Signs that I need some kind of RETREAT!

1) I'm angry with love bugs - they get more action than I do lately and they feel the need to do it on me, near me, or around me. Little basards!
