Happiness

Happiness Is......A Big (Som'n Som'n) Bargain DEAL!!!!

Yes - People - I got this skirt yesterday - Originally a $48 Skirt...

New With Tags (those are Good Words) for $4.00!!!

I know... Great deal! I LOVE it...

It just makes me happy...

and sort of makes me want to Scrapbook TOO...

I feel a background being inspired here!?

Happiness is also visiting with my sister and my whole family all weekend long...

my sister and her hubby and their daughter all came to town this weekend to visit.

Since I live exactly & literally right next door to my parents,

we sort of tend to migrate from one house to the other... all weekend long!

It's been Great... (Happiness will also be the Nap that I feel comin' on soon!)

I had planned on taking my daughter to the Mall yesterday...

I had a great coupon that I had to use or just 'waste' $15...

and she is still in need of Gym shorts or sweats...

and maybe in "need" of a cute denim skirt...

she also decided that she wants her ears pierced.

Her father decided no... still thinks she is too young...

hard to get him to realize that most girls actually do get them pierced way younger than this... anyway - we discussed it and he decided if she really wanted her ears pierced,

and was willing to pay for half of the cost... then she could do it!

So - I went next door to tell her the good news...

shopping AND getting her ears pierced "before school starts" like she wanted!?

Only - the thing is - after two late nights/slumber party type events with her cousins...

she was a bit tired, and cranky...

and instead of reacting like how I wanted her to,

she said she didn't really want to go shopping

- and she would rather wait and do her ears another day?!

Well - that took me by surprise...

sort of took all the Air out of my Super Mom balloon too...

oh well... I went without her...

can't let a free $15 go to waste...

So - I found this skirt... it is now my favorite thing!

So - mean un-Super Mom is making her wake up tomorrow

for a - as Natalie would say - "Dry Run"...

we're doing it all... the right time and doing the hair and the whole thing...

and since my Gym is close to her school - we will even leave the house

and go workout (which I have HARDLY done all summer

and am looking forward to getting back at it?!

Well - when I say 'looking forward to'...

well - you know - it will be good... I'm sure... in the long run!?)

Anyway - our plan is to be up, ready, and on the road by 7:30a.m.

Her school starts at 7:50 but they will let the kids in their homerooms at 7:30...

Mind you, this is my daughter who could not make it

to school in time last year when it started at 8:50...

so - we NEED a Dry Run!

After we workout - we need to return our Boat Load of books to the Library,

go to Shopko and PRAY they have some sweats or shorts that will "WORK" for Gym...

and we're meeting a friend and her daughter at 10a.m. for Starbuck's.

THAT date right there is what will get me through

the earlier portion of the morning!!!

After our Coffee Date,

I think we will rent a movie and relax...

on the last official day of Summer!?

We also have a Dr. Appt for my hubby at 2:45p.m.

We are praying for a better report than last time!

So - I am hoping that will also mean that my kid

will be at least SORT OF ready for bed on time on Monday

so Tuesday will not be so so hard!!!

Happiness is... Tuesday - 7:50 - 2:35 = EMPTY HOUSE!!!

Aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!

I think that means some Porch Swing time...

reading... maybe a movie ...

I'd Scrap - but - as you all know

- I am STILL waiting for my (Som'n Som'n) PICTURES!

What is making YOU Happy today?!

Oh - I have officially signed up to have a Scrapbooking Link through our church...

once a month to start - it's a big church - so we shall see how it goes?!

After Scrapping with you all,

it made me realize I may get a lot more DONE on my own,

but it is a LOT more fun scrapping with friends!!!

I'll be praying for all of you and your kids this week...

Scrap Happy!
