It's the little things that can make you smile...

This week has been a tough one. Alexander and I seem to be going through a rough patch with fighting ... I think mainly because we are TOO much alike.

He's currently at camp and we were fighting just before so I am going through a very "bad mommy" moment.

Anyhow. My friend Sue makes beautiful cards and sells them on etsy and I ordered two from her. When I came home for lunch yesterday I saw a padded envelope and was excited to see my purchaes. They were truly beautiful - the pictures didn't do them justice.

But the most amazing part was the card she did for me with my VW bus Lucy in mind. And inside was the quote .... “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Eleanor Roosevelt.

Are you an early riser?

As I sit here awake much too early I wonder to myself... why can I not sleep in? I have never had that ability!! My mother used to wake me up early to go to daycare and even as a teenager I didn't even sleep in ... I envy people who can because I'm sure my body could use a few more zzzz's.

And just when I might be able to give sleeping in a try I decided to get a puppy who doesn't know how to sleep in either!!! Hmmmm?
