    Wow, we are some sorry ass people! JK. But I have noticed that a lot of us on here seem to be having unusually bad days and/or weeks. So let's get some positive vibes flowing and brag about what cute things our kids did today, or something awesome your SO did today, or even a stranger. Something...anything!!! What made you smile today?

    I bought cupcakes and took dd4 to the firehouse to give them to my uncle and his men. The look on her face when she sees the guys and the trucks is so cute. Her eyes sparkle :)

    My son picked up the glow worm we bought for a kid's first birthday.  He started snuggling it and giving it kisses.  Needless to say.....I have to go buy another glow worm.

    I went for a massage today and the guy doing it said, wow, I can tell you work out. I really don't but it still felt good hearing another guy basically say I was hot.

    @Megsue so is spyder  thats half of why DH picks on him  they get along sometimes  he is also the best with little man  he actually comes up to little man and lets him pet him and pull on his hair and face  when he has had enough he walks away and little man cries its kind of cute..

    DS2 slept through the night.  He is 2 and a half and it's still a surprise when he does.

    Later going for a microdermabrasion facial (part one of 5 'treatments' DH purchased for me on Valentine's day), hopefully that makes me smile, I haven't had one in ages!

    The sprinter (B Dasher MK2).  LOL...the boys were sitting here playing wii Mario Cart and FINALLY unlocked this little treasure.  My youngest made some comments that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up, but I still had to leave the room to LOL.

    Congratulations @onetime!  What an acheivement.

    My ds is peacefully went down for a nap after a night of teething and a morning of whining.  I think the tooth is out now!  Either that or I finally overdosed him.  (kidding about the over dose)

    Going to baseball practice and seeing my much improved lil' slugger hit the ball almost every time and then coming home from practice to the living room freshly vacuumed by DD14 and dinner ready and waiting for us cooked by DD11.
    If I'm not supposed to do it, how come I can?

    My boys in general.  The smart ass remarks or comebacks Ds6.5 makes, especially when him and Dh get into it.  I laugh on the inside and proudly proclaim, "That's my boy!!" every time.  And than you have my Ds2.5 that has absolutely no concept of rules.  He will get into something and if he hear's you coming he will run away or cover his ears.

    Last but not least, we finally have the baby's room painted and somewhat furnished so that's one thing in a long list of things to check off.

    My husband cleaned the garage today, without even being asked! Made me so happy. He even had ds8 out there helping, who of course was griping all the way. Don't you find it sometimes easier to just them go play instead og listening to them grumble when forced to help? We try not to give in, but it's so hard!

    I woke up in the back of my truck, snuggled up to my husband under the oak tree in my grandma's driveway.
    My newly-dyed hair had left purple and blue and green streaks all over his chest and arms.
    It was a sight!
    We're STILL giggling about it!

    No exaggeration, today made my Forty First CM show. I have pictures with all of them, innumerable drumsticks, autographed set lists, guitar picks, etc. Not to mention every one of their CDs ( including the one released today). I'm their biggest fan and they know it, lol. Been following them 20 years, now lol! Kinda lame to some, but they are awesome musicians and I'm lucky enough to be where they are from.

    Man I thought I was doing good I have seen them maybe 7 times. I have to wait till they come to town :( They came to a crawfish boil in town and my kids got to see them so it's all good!!
    I love New Orleans!!! Haven't been back in a long time :(( like last time I was there was before Katrina !! I want to go back but money is an issue. We went there for our Honeymoon. Dh broke his toe kicking a step in the French Quarter. Lol. We still had fun , hung out with the tour guides after doing a haunted history tour. They took us to the Dungon.
