Things That Made Me Smile Today

1. No School! That means I got to sleep in an extra......well I shouldnt say. Who knows who could be reading this. :) Let's just say I didn't have to get up at 5'ish like I usually do.
2. Luke being off work with the kids today! I love it---even though I am actually really jealous.

3. When I answer my phone at work and it's Tubbs. His little sweet voice wasn't that sweet when he told me I lied to him. Trying not to chuckle I asked what the problem was and he said I didn't make my banana chocolate chip muffins that I promised to make him yesterday. Luke said when he woke up this morning the first thing he came looking for was the muffins.

So... I promised I would come home at lunch and make them...and I did. Such a nice treat to come home at lunch and see their faces!

4. My husband calling me at work this morning to tell me he was pulling up with a large Diet Dr. Pepper for me from Carl's Jr. It was just what I needed to get through the morning. (Isn't that pathetic?!) But it was deee-licious!

5. For Tubbs' prayers at bedtime. Let's see...I think tonight he prayed for:

• The "thing on mommy's lip to get better (my cold sore)
• For Petunia to be a cute little girl who listens
• For Bubba to do well on his AR (Accelerated Reader) test tomorrow
• For Bubba not to be rude and mean to other kids
• For Bubba not to lick his lip so it won't be chapped
• For Daddy to make lots of money at work

Yes---his list for Bubba seems to get a little longer each night. But I love how he prays so sincerely every night. He used to accuse me of having "long prayers" but even when he blesses the food now it takes at least a minute.

6. The sun shining through my window at work.Even though it made me long to be outside I knew that meant Luke would be taking the kids to the park down the street. Or like Bubba calls it, the "pok." (Yes--he has the Brooklyn accent)

7. The pictures my husband took on his phone while he was at Target and the "pok." He e-mailed them to me and I have to say, its my favorite kind of e-mail to get at work--especially after a long afternoon meeting! :) Makes me so happy that I get to come home to all of these people everyday!
