Daddy, It's Leprechan Day!!!

I always hated St. Patricks Day when I was a kid. It stressed me out beyond words. Pretty sure I secretly broke out in hives. I hated the thought of anyone pinching me. It pretty much infuriated me that I HAD to wear green. Jerks.

Anywho, my kids (well, all but Kaydon) think that it's cool to wear green or get pinched.

They are all (well, all but Kaydon) in their green today. I even wore green, because secretly I am still stressed out beyond words about not wearing green. It's the people pleaser in me. Ugh.

Anywho, I do have a good memory of Leprechan Day. My grandma, who I LOVE, used to make green pancakes, with green butter and green syrup and green eggs and green milk for St. Patricks Day. Now, that was COOL. That did not infuriate me. It made me happy. She made me happy.

So, whenever I get really pissed off (sorry, Mom) about being MADE to wear green, I think about her and I smile.
