Canadianmumof5 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I saw Imp's post about some positive things that have happened for her amidst all of the awful stuff. And I just had to pause and share a few little things that made my day today (the last couple of days have been miserable for me): 1. The kids were doing an awesome job on their work this morning, most of it was done by 11am so we went for a little shopping trip to Costco. As we're walking in, a lady stops me and says "are all of these children yours?". I got all tense expecting some smarta$$ comment, and said yes. she totally surprised me by putting her arm around my shoulder and telling me how wonderful it was that I have such a big family. I managed to squeak out how we are very blessed and she agreed and said May God continue to bless you. I got all teary -but good tears. She has no idea how much that 30 second conversation meant to me. 2. My oldest has been a big pain lately but he was over-the-top helpful today. It is like having a whole new kid.......he is amazing today. 3. I bought white bread (!!) and had PB sandwiches for lunch :001_smile: 4. I found one of my favourite chocolate bars in the very back of the deli drawer when I was rearranging the fridge post-Costco!!!! 5. DD8 offered to be the substitute teacher for DS6 once the baby arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternalknot Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 It's definitely a successful day when you've found both chocolate AND a substitute teacher :D LOL. Here's to more good days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
