Feel Good Friday: Lessons Learned

by The Girl Next Door Grows Up on September 3, 2010

 

{What happened that made you “Feel Good” this week?  Choose a prompt and link up!}

 

I will be honest with you, it hasn’t been the most stellar week like the one I had originally planned.

Tyler was sick.

Emily hurt her hand bad, but not quite bad enough to elicit a cast.

And I am just plain exhausted.

Yes, we have had our high points throughout the day, but one night we were all just down and out.

And then we heard it.

Sarah was running around and around and around the house with Millie.  Millie was chasing the jump rope that Sarah was dragging behind her.  The extreme laughter and giggles echoed throughout the house and then Sarah stopped in the kitchen where the three of us were sitting and said,

“I am having so much fun, I just can’t even stop!!”

And that was all it took to lift the three of us out of our funk.

We played and were silly and suddenly we all felt a little bit better.

So on this long weekend, I hope all of you have so much fun, you can’t even stop!

 

**I  decided to try a different linky this week for Feel Good Friday.  I thought it was kind of neat to see all of the blog buttons.  If you are a participant, please let me know if you like it too, or if you would prefer to just list the links by name only.  Majority will rule.

Peer Pressure at Age 69

What it Feels Like to Win the Lottery

September 1, 2010

  {Feel Good Friday is coming up!!!  What will you write about?} Since the age of 2, Emily has been very opinionated about what she wants to wear. When she was littler she would say she liked something if she thought I liked it and that ended up costing us lots of money as these [...]

When Old(er) People Use the Computer

August 25, 2010

  Dear She Who Shall Not Be Named, It does not cost anything to send an email.  Also, @ means “at.”  It is not “the little letter ‘a’ with a circle around it.”  It always has been called “at” and always will.  Even in your days it meant “at”. Xxxooo     Dear Grandpa Joe, I [...]

“You Haven’t Died Yet, Can We Swim?”

August 23, 2010

   The most terrifying experience I have ever had occurred 5 years ago.    Yes, 5 summers ago as I was outside getting my sprinklers hooked up, I tripped over an old bush and was swarmed by many bees that were living under that stump.   I also got stung many, many times.   Super-dooper.   Now, up until [...]

Here We Go Again

August 19, 2010

Remember when I updated my WordPress Theme and lost my blog? I do.  I remember it vividly. Well, the update is not working out as smoothly as I had hoped and I am having major problems with the comments section and numerous other plug-ins. Frustrating, indeed.  However, I do have something to “Feel Good” about [...]
