Daddy Magic

Yesterday, after swim lessons Lily and I were on our way to the gym. I cannot remember the reason but we got in a huge fight. She was being awful. She was saying mean things and wouldn't stop. When we arrived at the gym, as we got out of the car her face was covered in tears.

We had to walk right past the building where Jeff works to get to the gym. I always park next to his truck but I usually don't stop it and say hello. But, yesterday I did stop it. I looked horrible. Jeff works with a lot of beautiful women who are always very put together. I was in sweats, no shower, probably left over makeup under my eyes, hair a disaster...

The second we walked in the door, Jeff was standing right in the lobby with all the pretty girls. Lily saw her daddy and her mood instantly changed. She went from being so upset she couldn't stop sobbing to being as happy as you please. I mean instantly like a light switch. She is daddy's little girl. Although I am not allowed to call her little anymore. Might have even been the reason she was mad at me. Who knows.

Lily and I are so close. We are peas in a pod. We mostly get along great. But, when we both get upset at the same time it is a problem. Neither of us likes to back down. Anyways, Jeff has such an effect on her. She always lights up full of such joy whenever she is around her daddy.

Great medicine. We went on to the gym and had a great work out. I still hurt. By the time we were walking back to the car she was again upset with me about something. I guess the daddy magic only lasts so long. So glad they are so close. I actually feel that way around Jeff too. He gives off happy vibes like a drug. I don't know what to call it, he is just nice to be around.
