Day 10

Songs I listen to when I am Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad

I thought I would just go ahead and post this because it's so easy.  

I just listen to whatever is on the Sirius radio.  Sometimes I flip through some channels and it fits.  I have an OLD iPod, but I don't keep it updated and I don't ever use it.  I love music and listen to Pandora a lot.  I just kinda go with the flow and let the music decide. 

Day 9

Something I'm proud of in the past few days

I can't say I'm proud of posting for the challenge when I should!  Theresa is doing awesome though!!

   I am proud of my little boy though.  He got 3 green faces this week!  He is loving being able to tell me he had a good day when I pick him up.  I am so happy for him and his teacher!!  I better grades for behavior in his future.

Day 8

Short term goals for this month...

I guess I will talk about next month.  This would be a reason we should have started at the beginning of the month.  Ha!  

I wore something different to work and wore makeup every day this month.  I'm proud!

1. Stop procrastinating with my school work Who am I kidding?? That will never happen!!!

1. Wear a scarf in a different way ever day.  This will entail getting some more scarves.  YAY!

2. Keep my A average in my classes.  That's do-ish able 

3. Keep fixing my hair.  Every since I did my 30 different hairstyles in September, I haven't just worn my hair down without doing something to it.  If you know me you know that's a HUGE deal.  

Day 7

 A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on me

I am just going to go ahead and be that mom.... but honestly they have changed my life for the better.  I have learned patience, kindness, and true love.  

Day 6

My favorite Superhero...

I like batman.  I don't remember a time when I didn't like batman.  I like the movies and the cartoons.  Never been big on comics, but if someone had them- I'd read them.  

I like batman because he is a normal guy with cool toys and a fast car.  

Day 5

A picture of somewhere I've been.

Again forgive me for not posting on the actual day... It's been a hard week. 

I love San Francisco.  I love the fog.  I love the people.

Day 4

A habit I wish I didn't have. 

Man... this could be so many things, but since I have to pick on I will go with tardiness.  I do not want to be early all the time, I would just like to be ON time for often. Since is the one of the bad habits that I have that tends to hinder my job performance I going with this one.  I need to do better. 

Day 3

A picture of me and my friends

I love these girls so much!  I am so lucky to still be friends with all of them.

Day 2

The meaning of my blog name... The little things

    Today is another reason I believe that everything happens for a reason.  Today is a day I needed to remember the meaning behind my blog name.  I strive to find the good in everything and the little things in life really do make me happy.  I do sometimes lose my way.  

   Today was a day I felt lost.  I am about to go through a change at my job- a change that I did not expect and did not want.  The news of this change made me very sad and angry.  Everyone around me was trying to make me feel better, but I wasn't wanting any part of it.  I left work feeling very disenchanted. 

    Everyone knows I love my job... bosses, co-workers, flexibility, laughter... everything.  I am still very fearful that it will change for the worse, but there is nothing I can do about it.  I need to focus on the good and be happy about the little things.  I still have a job.  I do not have to relocate to keep said job.  

    After work I picked up Megan... her yelling MOMMY! and running into my arms made my day just a little better.  I got to ride home listening to her sing... little more better.  I picked up Austin and I see another green face... a lot better.  We go to his school for his fall festival and I see his old teacher.  She looks like one of those old wicked teachers.  Then we run into his current teacher... He runs and hugs her and I can tell they are both happy to see each other... SO MUCH BETTER.  My son is finally able to sit still in class and so many people at his school love him.  Everyone wanted to talk to me about him.  How can I be sad when I see how happy he is?  We walk to the car, hand in hand- in a pattern child-adult-child.  My children are healthy and happy and I am lucky.  It's the little things... balloon popping, cake walking, face painting, bean bag tossing, pop corn, slushies, and way too much candy little things.  

   Thank you Theresa for doing this blog challenge.  I am happy that we decided not to wait to start.  I needed this today and it is just another reason I am lucky to have you as a Best Friend.
