Ooof. We are in serious need of a Friday Love around here. Especially since we haven’t done one in a very long time, and quite frankly, I really, truly need some reminders about the good stuff right about now. It has been yet another frustrating week. We just cannot seem to find our groove, and I’m getting a little anxious…I mean we are 20 days into 2012 already! So let’s get on with it…

Things I am (remembering to) love this fine Friday:

• Tea parties that are finally rescheduled.

• The fact that Addie was completely giddy with getting to dress up, bringing her AG doll, and getting dropped off at the Rose Tea Garden to have REAL tea (with 5 sugar cubes!) with her teacher.

• Emma Grace is just about over her several week-long illness, including free of the rash that incited the ER visit last weekend.

• Em’s love of reading, even when I catch her reading long past “lights-out.”

• It is Friday. And between taking the Brownie troop on a Field Trip to the art museum this afternoon and putting on the Pancake Breakfast for the children’s choir on Sunday – we have a blissfully low-key weekend on tap.
• Today is Day #1 of Girl Scout Cookie selling in our area. Well…I love the cookies at least. The cookie season is just a necessary evil in order to GET the cookies.
• Posts like this one. I intend on reading this to both of the girls at some point this weekend. Kind people are brave people.
• My dear friend Vic is traveling to Houston to the best cancer hospital in the US to hopefully be a part of one of their clinical trials. (Well, I don’t love that she has to do this…but I do love her spirit and the fact that she the fight in her to tackle this, again.)
• It is Friday, and you know what that means…I love that this week is almost over!
