Way past smile and all the way to Joy-but I'm lazy and don't wanna dig up that thread

I spent several hours today going to H's high school and J's middle school, and even when the teacher had some bad news (missing assignments, disorganization), ALL of them said something like "What a great/sweet kid, wish I had a whole room of them". That makes me feel like I've done something right (their dad, too).

Even the bad news was fixable-the teachers gave me a list of whatever they were missing, and the online site to check their work for the future. So I feel that even after a rough time, we can be back on track.

Even better was H's art teacher's news. She's top of the class in art and has a natural gift for it. Her teacher will help her prepare for a scholarship-fully paid-when the time comes. I can't force her to go, but I want her to have all the options known.

Maybe it's reading MerryFairy's posts, but I feel like floating

. I feel cautiously optimistic, even with significant challenges ahead. I hope I can be up to it.

That is so very sweet of you to say! I am sure you will do it

It was so nice to read about you want to make sure the kids have all of the information about their options. You ARE doing something right

Maybe it's me and my optimism even with the challenges but it's not impossible to get to where you want to be. Float on!

The importance of homemade soup on a cold day, kind words and feeling all warm and fuzzy.

This is *amazing* news and made me smile! I especially love the fact that you are setting things up so that her options are many and open in the future. Brava to you for obviously stellar parenting!

Blade · 02-18-2013, 06:01 PM

All the noise in the neighbors yard this afternoon. LOL I think ALL eight of their children must have brought a friend home from school with them. I've never heard it that noisey but it was cute and the liveliness over there made me smile.

JustLovelyJenn · 02-18-2013, 10:38 PM

Working on a new project... well, an old project and dream thats been revitalized....

I made new patterns and started a few lists... it all made me smile

Ginger · 02-18-2013, 10:47 PM

I feel kind of silly admitting this, but the only thing that made smile today was some videos of kittens.

clay · 02-18-2013, 10:48 PM

Random thoughts about dreams, friends and thinking about drinking and playing midnight bowling oddly enough.
