My friend . . . ahem . . . says thanks for all the encouragement you sent in the comments section of the last post. Things are looking up for the PTA, and now that two major financial (think: IRS, taxes, charter with the state and national PTA) deadlines are passed, everyone on the board is breathing a little easier. From here on out my friend promises to take it one step at a time and not get overwhelmed . . . and to take every single one of you up on your offers for dessert!
In honor of this new outlook, this change in attitude, this thank-goodness-we-got-it-postmarked-by-the-15th feeling, I'm letting y'all in on some things that make me smile.
Grinning on the inside smile:
Bubba and I now wear the same size t-shirt
Eyes rolled back in your head smile:
Honey giving my shoulders and neck a much needed massage
Laugh so you don't cry smile:
Listening to a friend talk about the Star Wars birthday-in-a-box she sent her son who just left for his second tour of duty in the middle east
Taking a stroll down memory lane smile:
Helping a friend feed her twins while we wait for our older kids at gymnastics
Put your feet up and relax smile:
Our two big field trips for this school year are DONE!
I knew He would all along smile:
Knowing exactly to the penny how much money we need to make it through the month, and watching the numbers on the direct deposit add up to that plus a little extra
How funny is that smile:
After the girls sat through countless meetings with me over the last 3 weeks, watching them hurry to their room to play "meeting"
I could do this all day smile:
Listening to Bubba talk about the new friends he's getting to know this year at school
Grinning with anticipation smile:
High School Musical 3: Senior Year premiers in 8 days
This is what I was made to do smile:
Cooler nights warmed up with a cup of decaf under a blanket next to Honey on the couch
Make your eyes twinkle smile:
Knowing that Halloween is only 15 days away, and after that it's fair game to decorate for Christmas
What about you? What's making you smile these days?
