{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.

That is a great line! It’s amazing what kids can do!
Yes. She comes up with some funny things to say. This one was priceless.
That’s the good kind – unstoppable fun! Hope you have a stellar weekend!
Me too! It is starting out great. The high today is going to be 65!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this! There’s nothing like kids and dogs to lift your spirits. Dh used to say, “Who needs TV. We can just watch the kids play with the dogs.” Hope you have a terrific, restful weekend : )
That is so true!
Great story. Sometimes it only takes a little one’s laughter to bring us out of our funk.
Hey was wondering why my linkage didn’t work, lol. I haven’t linked yet, will figure out how. I do like the old way better, but this way might work as well. The only thing that might not work is if the person doesn’t have a button.
Have a safe and great holiday weekend.
It is supposed to take any image from your site and create a button. So that could be your header. It should give you options. Let me know what happens.
Yep, I see that now. I spoke to soon. Kind of cool to see everyones blog button or a picture that they choose to show.
Puppies and 3-yr.-olds are good for bringing you out of a funk. ; )
We have an awesome weekend planned, starting Blue Man Group last night and winding up with the first Razorback football game of the season tomorrow night—all with beautiful temps!
Happy weekend!! ; )
No matter how bad we think it is, it’s life’s little things that bring us back up. Have a great weekend!!
Now THAT is cute!!! I think she just made my day better too!
I hope you have a great holiday weekend, my dear!
Love these moments! They come just when we need them too!
Cool idea with the buttons!! God blesses us with children or people in our life and those wonderful times and words pop up just when we need them.

I’m in such a great mood lately I almost played along. If it weren’t for poor timing. I’d have a good post ready.
How precious, Sarah’s words sound destined to become part of your family’s folklore:)
Btw, I love the buttons. Hope you keep them for FGF. I’ve not linked because I’ve just been too swamped to put a coherent words together.
Yep, I really like the pictures to go with the names. NOt that I have a consistent picture for my blog but I do like to see them!
That is great! It’s been kind of a blah week for me as well…hoping the three day weekend will perk me up!
And…I like the buttons too for the linky!
Hi GND-sorry to hear about the less than stellar week, but I hope you have a great weekend to make up for it. I like the linky trick you did.
Following from the Fun Follow Friday!
Hope you have a great weekend!

Love the blog buttons! I hope that is the majority feeling. I’m glad your daughter lifted your spirits. Out of the mouths of babes. They certainly can make you see everything in a more positive light.
Hi! I am a new follower from the blog hop.

Oh, that is awesome. Kids have special powers, you know.
They really do!! And then somewhere along the way they lose them and that is sad
I’m so glad I read your post tonight. I wasn’t even going to do a feel good friday, because frankly, I couldn’t think of anything and things have been rough. I haven’t really been feeling Horrible about things, just…like things are tough. But after reading your “lesson learned” I realized that’s what gets me laughing at times – just having the grandchildren around can make me laugh a lot. Watching them, interacting with them ( and I tend to revert to some serious childishness!lol) can do it, then I realized things were rough, but they also worked out. THEN I realized – even though I’m so worn out and hurting by the time I get home from work – Hey! I work with CHILDREN – and even tough I have to deal with some strange adults sometimes – the children make all the pain and tiredness worth it – so far. When I get to the point where I can’t enjoy a day with kids – tha’ts when it’s time to go on disability or retire. Until then, I’ll continue pushing my self to go to work and letting the kid energy lift me up. THANKS SO MUCH!
For the link buttons – I used a picture of my two grandchildren when Liliana was just over a year old, and Elliott was around five months old. He was already almost as big as her there, but she HAD to hold him and help feed him. She’s always been into babies – even when she was still a baby and to this day, they have a love-love-hate-love relationship.
I am so glad that the FGF post helped. Kids really do make everything better. And I loved the picture you chose.
I hope you have lots of fun with your crew this weekend!
Kids definitely have the power to make you feel good. They are just so infectious with their happiness!
Can’t believe how long it took me to comment! I got my post ready Thursday night. Didn’t post until Friday morning but forgot to link it here. Came home and I finally got it up. So crazy!
I hope you have a good next week! School’s starting.

Oh my goodness, that is just adorable! I wish my weekend had been so fun I couldn’t even stop, sadly it was not. Oh well!
Oh No! I will hop on over soon in case you wrote about it. I hope today is better.
It’s amazing how far a little laughter can go!
No kidding! It really is the best medicine.
