I have great kids! I had a gift card for $10 to a local restaurant. It was going to expire and my darling husband didn't want me to lose the money. (It was a reward card not a gift card, gift cards don't expire in California). Anyway, I took the children to dinner and dessert. We had Blue Cheese Salad chopped, Garlic Cheese Toast, Pretzels and CHOCOLATE CAKE! It was so yummy and a really good time. But the best part was my awesome children. They were so good. I was so pleased with their behavior. I am talking almost perfect. The table behind us had several older men. At one point the baby was making a lot of "happy" noise and I didn't want him to disturb them, but there was NO hushing him. When we were wrapping up, the men went by our table to the salad bar. One leaned in and said you have the BEST (emphasized) behaved children. And it was true, they were the best behaved tonight. I always love my children. I am proud of their many accomplishments and their hard work. But tonight I was pleased as punch for the privilege of being their mother. It was a good day, NO an extraordinary day, in our "ordinary" life ;)
#283 Reason I see the hand of Heavenly Father in my life...He makes ordinary days feel like heaven...I think heaven will be the stringing together of ordinary days, but all the lovely ones, with no end to the loveliness. I could live this evening over and over again.
Make it a great day! ONLY YOU CAN!
