A Small Secret

I can hardly believe I'm admitting this to anyone, let alone writing it down. Last weekend, when we were supposed to be out for our little and daddy date, I found myself feeling restless. It was a sunny day with clear skies, perfect weather for a picnic or a walk in the park. Instead of going outside like I promised, I ended up at my computer, coding away until it got dark. I felt terrible about breaking that promise to him, even though there were no real consequences beyond that. It's not as if we had a strict punishment waiting, but every time I thought about what I did, I couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment in myself. What started out as just a day with nothing special planned ended up being a reminder of how easy it is to lose track and let down someone important.
