what a great day. :)

it snowed, just enough to look pretty.
i didn't get behind a tractor going 18 mph...but i DID get behind a garbage truck...which pulled over to let me pass! that never happens!!
my tea was perfectly perked.
i got to color for half an hour. at work.
i made up a casserole for lunch AND the kids liked it.
i got to hear W say, "miss amy, that was berishus."
i found a radical half green/half purple grape.
the dishwasher was very cooperative.
i found out i am not the only adult who dances like a 2 year old.
the door was NOT opened suddenly while i was using the bathroom at work.
one of the toddlers called me "amy"...which is a big deal because she only says about 8 other words...hotdog is one of them, lol. (one of the other kids in that class calls me "yunch"...because i bring his lunch. heheh)
i had some delicious hummus.
hannah did her homework without arguing.
i had a Divine appointment.
...where i saw an old friend.
i got to help 3 over-stressed moms of young kiddos to DE-stress.
i successfully removed a cake from a bundt pan.
i found my missing shoe.
and now matisyahu is on leno. 

see? told you it was a good one. :)

this just illustrates the fact that my crappy days (like yesterday, instead of murphy's law it was totally mine.) are so dependent on my own attitude. i was NOT having another yesterday today. so i didn't. and now i feel silly for having one yesterday. i even started off laughing at the ridiculousness of it all...but little by little i allowed that little grain of irritation to grow into a big ole pearl of sour grumpusness. thankfully, i am back to laughing at the ridiculousness of the vast amounts of things that went whack yesterday. i would include a list, just because i DO think it's funny, but i am going to refrain, just in case it may serve as a fertilizer for a crappy pants attitude in the future. i also purposefully did not post the long list of those things yesterday either, for the same reason. i am working on it, people. slow but steady wins the race, right? heheh

this is what makes me smile:
snow. duh.
