NOTHING

Today I got up and went to the gym. Other than that, I did absolutely Nothing! I didn't have to work, I didn't have to get the kids ready for school, so I did Nothing. It was wonderful. I didn't have to be anywhere, I didn't have to do anything, I could just sit. So I did, I let the kids play their video games and watch movies all day. It was so nice to just sit and cuddle with the kids and have them just enjoy being home. Tomorrow, we are going to spend some time outside, but first we are buying SUNSCREEN!!! That is if the sun is actually out again tomorrow!

Hug

Today has been a pretty good day. I worked this morning and talked with some good people, then I went to the office at the school and waited for my daughter to get there. I waited and when she got there she didn't see me at first.....when she finally saw me, she screamed "MOMMY" and ran to jump in my arms and give me a hug.

This happens on a daily basis. I LOVE IT! It makes me feel so good inside knowing that my little three year old missed me and loves me even though I have been gone for a few hours.

I love my cuddles and hugs from my kids. My son wrote me a mothers day card that said, "My favorite thing to do with mommy is to cuddle" AW! I mean he is only 7 but still! AW!!!! I love it.

My 9 year old isn't much of a cuddler anymore but she loves to give hugs just the same. She does have her "I miss my mommy" moments and insists on cuddling.

Needless to say, I love my hugs.


Hope you have a :0) day!

Mothers Day 2011

I usually dislike Mothers day, However this year it was most wonderful. I don't know if it is because of the current mission I am to find the positive things and remember them, or if it is because I finally felt like I was appreciated....needless to say, I enjoyed it this year. My family brought me breakfast in bed. Yummy pancakes topped with fresh strawberries and powdered sugar, bacon, hash browns and orange juice, accompanied with a beautiful pink and white rose. The kids all made beautiful cards and poems. The primary sang to their moms. The ward gave the moms a chocolate bar, and then I came home from church to find a beautiful dinner prepared for me. It was nice to be able to relax and not have to worry about things. It was fun and I really enjoyed it this year.

Hope you have a :0) Day!

Today while the sun shines

Today was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and the kids were so happy to get out of the house, as were my hubby and I! It was so nice to be in the sun and spend the day working together with my husband as we decided to clean out the garage. We got a lot done and hopefully within the next week or so, we will be able to finish the garage. Then maybe we can get stuff in the garage that is in the house and in the way, and maybe even fit the car in there too! Here's hoping! All in all today has been a good day, the kids and I had a recital today as well. It was lots of fun.

Hope you have a :0) day!

Clicker? what do you think?

I recently read a blog talking about being positive about life. As I read I realized that I did not have a positive outlook on life. I decided to start looking for a way to help me achieve that positive outlook and so as I was reading other blogs and looking on the internet for some assurance that I could reach that place in my life, I came upon Hilary Weeks blog. She is absolutely amazing and she has said some things lately that have really stuck with me. I know I have not yet attended TOFW but I intend on going in the fall. She talks about keeping a clicker with her and counting how many times she says something negative, as she is doing it she realizes that she is clicking the clicker a lot more than she thought she would. As the days went by she noticed that the counts on the clicker were going up. She was starting to get more negative. When she realized that things weren't getting better, she decided to start clicking the clicker whenever she had a positive thought. As she did this she found that she was happier each day. I have decided that I am going to try this, but instead of a clicker I am going to use this blog. I think that if I am able to write a blog about all the positive things that are happening each day, that I will be able to achieve that positive outlook in life. Wish me luck and please read my blog and comment when you can and help me to achieve my goal of a more positive outlook on life!

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a :0) day!
