Mondays are tough at the ole' elementary school. The children come in droves to the nurse's office..... nobody is really sick...but none of them feel well. It is a Monday.
That is why a smile and a giggle on a Monday is so WONDERFUL.
Here is just of the highlights..... from my Monday:
1. Jake asked me to wake him up early this morning..... (at 5:45 instead of 7:00). I didn't ask why- but I woke him up early.... when I went to check up on him.... he was sitting in bed reading his new book..... That is why he wanted to get up early--to read..
That made me smile :)
2. I stopped at the gas station and treated myself to an extreme CAFFEINE coffee this morning(I never drink coffee-but gave up soda for lent: so I am craving caffeine)
That made me smile :)
3. A kindergartner at my school introduced me to her mom today....she told her mom I am the lady who makes her feel better when her mommy can't be at school with her.....and she gets sick or hurt or even sad....
That made me smile :)
4. My friend Sara came to my office.... entering the room like KRAMER. Sharing stories,giggles,and comments (often made in unison and followed by a roll of the eyes)...
That made me smile :)
5. Jake called me on my way home from work. He thinks I should re-think my parenting skills..... He reminded me that I packed FUDGE BROWNIES in his lunchbox..... and that this would not be a problem...except for that he gave up chocolate for LENT...."nice mom....real nice"
That made me smile :)
6. Emily hung out with me in the kitchen while I made dinner.... she and I danced around and acted silly while we waited for the water to boil.....then she snuck pasta behind my back...thinking I didn't notice...
That made me smile :)
7. Rowdy washed the dishes after dinner so that I could go finish writing thank-you cards.
That made me smile :)
8. Emily and Jake can't get enough of the new pencil sharpener I bought. There is somethingabout a NEW, freshly Sharpened #2 pencil
That made me smile :)
9. I am sitting here blogging....remembering all the things about today that made me smile...
That made me smile :)
I am so envious of how you find so much happiness in the little things in life. It is always the little things in life as well that makes me smile but I guess my problem is I forget to remember them. Thanks for making me smile!
