!!!

June 10, 2010

If you haven’t heard about this brilliant, vanguard idea, Intentional Happiness, I suggest you go to BadMommyMoments and Momalom to see what all the fuss is about!

Things haven’t been smooth sailing around these here parts, but that doesn’t mean that there haven’t been some things that have made me feel !!! this week.

This cheeky watering can, bought for the bargain price of $12.99. Just looking at him makes me smile. I adore everything frog.

That there’s someone else in the house who loves Harriet the Spy as much as her mama does. Plus, her penmanship is already better than mine.

That the weather outside has been so glorious that the girls forget about things like this:

To go out and do this:

A packed suitcase and a weekend away, visiting a dear friend and being able to cuddle her newborn son, Butterbaby. I’m going to unplug this weekend and cherish the time, because long walks with a friend who knows my cold, black heart and loves me anyway? And the smell of a delicious baby? Definitely !!!

I’ll be back on Tuesday, hopefully with stories to share. I hope, dear readers, that your weekend is full of joy and laughter.

A friend who knows our heart, that really is !!! There is never enough of that to sustain us is there? Enjoy!

And for the record, we might not be able to be friends anymore because you adore frogs.

Enjoy your time away! "butter baby" I love that term. I am stealing it, from now on too. I am heading to my nieces baby shower-love babies, but still glad that it is not me who is receiving the Baby Einstein jungle gym (laugh).

Thank you, sweetie. It's been a rough week over here and I barely pulled together my own !!! post…so knowing that YOU managed it makes me feel fuzzy inside. And that watering can makes me smile. Seeing a half-eaten donut makes me smile. A packed suitcase however? I'll be honest. I wish it were MINE! And I wish I were on a plane on my way to you! That would be some serious !!!

Have a lovely time and either forget all your worries, or pour them in your good friend's ear. If she loves you, she won't mind. Sharing will help.
I'm going to steal your watering can while you're away.

Sounds like a weekend made in heaven! Take a big baby whiff for me.
Love that photo of your kids outside.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, or anything, but this particular baby came without the baby smell. Oh, he has that delicious milkbreath, but his head kind of smells like grownup head. And his feet? Honestly rather teenage boy-ish. Disappointing. ADORABLE and grinning constantly. But not yummy smelling.
The willing ear and open heart, though, are yours for the duration, trip or no trip.
Just bring that donut. Sure, ck deserves it, but she cares what she looks like and I'm beyond help. So bring it.

I'm sure you don't have a cold black heart, TKW but I'm sure it feels a little dank in there to you right now. I know, mine does too. Nothing like a friend who can read your mind and get to the heart of the matter.
