Welcome back!

An iced cold Coca Cola Classic after I haven’t had one in over 24 hours.

The fact that my husband loves me.

My baby girl’s smile when she gets a sippy (her beebop, that’s what she calls it) full of milk. (It’s her favorite drink).

My oldest son’s smile and the way his eyes light up when he does so.

My baby boy’s cuddles.

I love my life and I am feeling very blessed today.  How about you?

Weekly Roundup

Weekly RoundupJust found this on my friend Tamara’s Blog. I am going to play along because this sort of thing is just what I need today. I am feeling down, and have had a crummy day so I want to cheer myself up and feel accomplished.

Here’s what she says to do for the Weekly Roundup:

Each week we wrap up the week with some fun questions to help you acknowledge things that you have accomplished over the week. A fun way to give yourself a pat on the back because sometimes we forget the smaller things that we do. If you want to play along Please let me know.

  1. List 2 accomplishments this week
  2. Share something that made you smile
  3. Share something that made you not smile
  4. List one pleasing surprise.

So here are my answers:

  1. 2 accomplishments this week: I completed a couple of my spring cleaning projects! I cleaned up my kitchen before bed every night this week!
  2. Something that made me smile: When I went to check on my son on Wednesday to see if he had been playing on the playground since he has been not wanting to because of some bullies and some kids had come to play with him in the spot he has been sitting for days because he is scared to go play.
  3. Something that made me not smile: My bills I had to pay today, ugh!
  4. One pleasing surprise: I got an extra order or two for articles, which gave me some additional income.
