a day spent with my love we went up to the military base and did Christmas shopping and food shopping for thanksgiving . With a stop to bring her mom lunch at her work AND the smile on my darlings face when her mom introduced me to her boss as Desd's wife.

A change on facebook... I know she was only being silly... But it still felt nice... :balloon:





:chocolate:

This song popping into my head made me smile. And the thought of the lovely women that have brought that special grace to my life.

Some day, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearin' my fear apart
And that laugh..wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely ... Never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it ? 'cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight


And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely ... Don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it ? 'cause I love you
a-just the way you look tonight

Mm, Mm Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look tonight

Playing angry birds with my son while we waited for his doctors appointment.

I am so happy, grateful and have the largest smile today! My friends and co-workers packed my stuff in a u-haul for me in 45 minutes. They are the most wonderful people. :)

A car full of teenagers this morning who hadn't seen each other since Election night comparing notes on the general states of crazy in their various households. Hysterical descriptions of panic and relief were told.

The same teens realizing that all of them, except for my daughter, will be old enough to vote in the next presidential election. (she'll be 5 months shy of 18) and then devising ways to sneak her in to vote or make her a fake id, issue a new birth certificate, so that they could all go vote in their first presidential election together. Me laughing internally how it's not crossing any of their minds to make her 21 so she can buy them booze. They just want her to be able to exercise her right to vote.

A generally stoic girl at our school group this morning. She's one of those who hardly ever speaks and then when she does, it's always a zinger. She cracks me up. Today is her birthday. She was wearing this hat.

I have the same exact hat. So I grabbed her by the earflaps the conversation went like this

Me: I have the same hat! (spoken in excited girly type voice)
She: You do?!! (In an unprecedented excited girly type voice coming form her)
Me: Yes, we need to plan a dress alike day! (grabbing her hands)
Her: OMG we so do! (grabbing my hands back and jumping up and down)
Unison: SQUEEEE!
Instantly followed by stoic face returning, a fist bump, and both of us walking our own directions.

A few minutes later, a 6 yo comes in, who lost a tooth last week. She showed me how she lost another tooth this week, the same one I told her was going to come out next. She told me it was far too sacred of a tooth to give to the fairies so she kept it and now carries it with her.

Just after I recover from that, in comes an 8 yo with her hands waving in the air, crying out "It's Sacrelig! Just Sacrelig"!
Me: Um, honey, everything okay?
She: so-and-so (insert poor 8yo boys name) won't read Harry Potter II!

Later in the day, many smiles, watching our teens happy playing in the sun out on the playground, like they are still little kids.

My only student was gone today, so I got to help out in the elementary office. I filed papers, ran errands, and did various tasks. When I finished up everything they could find with an additional 45 min left on my shift, the secretary told me to go ask the principle where else I could be useful. I found him in the lunch room and told him I had finished the filing, was there anything else I could help out with. His response was that he was sure the secretary would have something else. I said, nope, all done. He looked a little shocked... and his next response will have me smiling all day... he said...

Well then, continue with your awesomeness.

She made me :) and has for about 3 weeks

It's Friday and I am home from work already...(yup I snuck out early!)
