While Monday isn't my favorite day of the week, a few of my favorite things have happened in the last few days. I survived the outdoors and actually ENJOYED it. Those who know me, know I do not mesh with nature. I'm not sure if it was trying not to freak out in front of M so she would have fun, trying not to be a complete drama queen in front of my coworkers, or maybe I'm starting to come around to this nature business, that is until another snake slithers it's slimy ass across my foot while I'm carrying my expensive camera and child. Why is this a favorite thing you may ask? I love being pleasantly surprised. Another surprising moment this weekend, I took team pictures for the college baseball team this weekend. Walked in totally expecting attitude, disdain and sarcasm at every turn, however, I was greeted with open minds, cooperation and fun from all. All of these factors turned out some pretty cool pictures, if I do say so myself.
My favorite things weekend continued on through yesterday and this morning. I love waking up to a happy kiddo. These mornings seem childlike, which is the best way to begin any morning, much less the work week. As I'm trying to get myself ready I hear ruffling and a yawn come from her room. Childlike myself, I sing "Maaadyssseeennnnnn" only to hear "maaaaammmmmmaaaa" back. This is the tell all that today will be a good day for her. When she doesn't immediately come running out of her room I know one thing, she's playing hide and seek. So I open her door (only to find her curled up in a ball on her bed btw) and pretend that I can't find her anywhere, not her closet, not under her desk, not behind her curtains. Then when I'm about to give up, she jumps up on her bed and screams "here I am mamma!." That toothy smile is the best way to get me in a good mood, no matter what happens.
Hopefully these few favorite things of mine will put a smile on your face, no matter what kind of day you are having.
