Whine....Wine....

Today was one of those days where I felt defeated.  Sounds depressing right?  Well, yes and no.  My day started out with a sick little boy who has a cough and nasty runny nose.  For all of you who know me, you know that Finn has spent way too much time in the hospital lately.  So when this happens I go into panic mode thinking that he will be at the babysitter and stop breathing while i'm working at the winery.  I was on the verge of tears all day at work worrying about this sweet little man of ours.  When stuff like this happens I start thinking about how no one can ever have it all.  Everyone has struggles, everyone has to have a little heartache and some hurdles to jump.  I figure that since I have been so lucky in my life so far by having a wonderful husband, beautiful son, amazing home, supportive family and friends that dealing with Finn's asthma is just one of those hurdles that we have to jump...maybe multiple times.  It really makes you appreciate life and the people you have with you and has made me realize that NO ONE truely 'has it all'. So after a lot of thought and having my lovely husband pick Finn up early from the sitter (since I was going crazy with all of the worst senarios running through my head), I decided we needed to enjoy some really tasty food and wine.  We ordered Thai food from Bangkok (our favorite Thai restaurant) and enjoyed some chilled white wine with it.  We always seem to order the same thing, it is like our comfort food.  We get, Chicken Phad Thai, Green Curry with Tofu, Butterflies and Sticky Rice with Mango.  It felt SO good to pick this up and go home to an energetic little boy who was happy to see me (who was also way less sick that I was imagining).  Jeremiah and I dished up and finally drank our 2008 Semillon from Fidelitas which really complimented the Phad Thai.  Following our awesome dinner there was a huge thunderstorm...we ran outside like a cute little couple and took a lot of pictures.  I love my life, I love my huband and I love my baby so much.  Just one of those days where it really hits ya...
