The ups outnumber the downs

1. Listening ears. Yesterday was a bad day. I won't go into all of the reasons it was a bad day- because this is my thank you blog- but it was a bad day. I was about at breaking point when Jake called and told me he would be staying late at work and would be going straigt from work to Young Men's. Great. Luckily, not long after I hung up with him Garrett and Kari came over to hang out, do some laundry, and watch LOST. I know they weren't expecting it, but when they came in and asked, "So how are you?" I broke down and bawled as I told them my sob story. It really didn't sound THAT bad as I told it, and it felt SO GOOD to have adults who could just listen and say, "Wow. That stinks! I'm sorry you had a bad day!". Yes- I was very glad they were hear for me to unload on.

2. BandAids. One of the things that went wrong yesterday was that while I was making dinner, I slipped with a sharp knife and sliced/stabbed my pinky finger. Josh quickly ran and found his new ScoobyDoo bandaids and brought me one. It was a WHILE before I could get the bleeding under control for the BandAid to really help- but I thought it was so sweet that he wanted to help and was willing to share his "fix all" BandAides.

3. Lavender Pillow Mist. This stuff seems to actually help me on my restless nights.
