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!
Just read the post you mentioned — it is beautiful — and such good reminders! So sorry that 2012 has been getting a slow start for you, in your mind. Don’t you worry about a thing! You are such a great mom — and so great in so many other area — that once you get your feet on the ground, nothing will stop you! Have a GREAT week-end! Love you.
Have a great weekend!! I am glad Em is finally starting to feel better.
Love you too!!!
That link was a wonderful read! I used to say things like that to the BA but, I am ashamed to say, as she has grown older, my interest in good results has kicked in. I guess it’s the teacher in me. Love Addie and her doll’s matching dresses.
Glad to hear that I’m not the only one trying to get into the 2012 groove. Hope the excursion to the museum went well yesterday. And glad to hear that E is feeling better. Happy 2012! I’ll be sending out NEW YEAR’s cards this year. LOL
PS – loved the blog post about compassion. And I miss Best Shot Monday, may have to join snapshot Sunday. Doing all to get my creative juices flowing once more.
I love that Emma is such a voracious reader! My favorite day of every school year was when we would wear our pajamas to school, bring in sleeping bags, pillows and blankets and read whatever we wanted all day long.
