Don't cry over spilled milk today!

That's right. Today is Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day, a reminder to practice positivity and optimism and to stop worrying about the small stuff that doesn't matter much at all in the grand scheme of things.

In keeping with the day's theme, I've decided not to worry about:

☺ Changing out of my mommy clothes before taking my daughter to storytime. So what if my shirt doesn't exactly go with my yoga pants? Will the three-year-olds really care? And ditto for my hair. Who cares if it's not styled? At least it's combed.

☺ Making sure the dishes are done before my son goes to school. I have enough to worry about in the morning. I think the dirty cereal bowls can wait, don't you?

☺ The fact that I forgot to put an "RSVP by" date on my son's birthday party invitations. His party is during a school break, so now I'll have an excuse to call the other parents to remind them about the event. Problem solved!

As you go about your day today, remember the great words of Bobby McFerrin: "Don't worry, be happy!"

Wishing you a wonderful, stress-free day!
