SMILE With Me,

Because when I list some of the fun happenings around here I guarantee you will be smiling thinkin, Glad that's her and not me.
POOOOOOP
Maybe we should start there.
I had been really sick this last week. Thanks to a trip to the ER with my boy (remember the fall.). Well, the very next day my fun kids played basketball in the toilet. The only problem with that is that there is no where for things to go but down.
Unless you happen to flush after you have clogged the toilet. Then well up and out it comes. We can thank Miss M for the clogged poop filled toilet and Bubba for the flushing. Who do we have to thank for the gag filled 45 minute clean fest and sterilization process?
ME!!!!!!
I have my great Brother-in-law to thank for the FREE plumbing services.
The next round was compliments of my all of the sudden very independent potty trainee, Little H. She decided she could clean herself after an accident in her pull up. It was on my shower curtain, floor, vanity,rug, and my sweet child. It was basically
EVERYWHERE.
Who is smiling because she has the cleanest most sterile bathroom on the block?
ME!!!!
At least the second offense happened when I was not sick and running a temp and feeling awful to begin with.
See, lots of reasons to smile around here.
Kids are great........
When they are not stinkin up the joint they are doing other cute things.
Sissy and Miss M had their dance recital this last week.

They were so cute and confident, I love that they are not shy:)

I actually do have other reasons to smile too.
I was pampered by friends and family for my Birthday.
I got to thank my Mom for all she does for me.
I got to spend fun time with family for Mothers Day.
A great friend helped me when I needed a babysitter.
Bunko...
My hubby paid for a photography class for my Birthday and Mothers Day, so lucky me !! I will get to be alone for a day and learn more about something I love.
Some times it's hard to remember to smile when life is crazy, me and my kids are sick, and they are doing there best to make me loose it.
I find the harder I work on the smiling through the mess though, the easier it becomes.

I think you've had enough poop in your life for awhile.

Love the costumes. I'm sure they were the cutest dancers.

Yeah, I guess smiling through it makes it easier. That stinks, about the poop mess. . . literally. Just reminds me of a story when my mom was working in a nursing home. Just thank heavens it wasn't big people poop! YIKES. . . Anyway, I hope this week you are feeling better.

When you can keep smiling even when its "pooping"...you have a good grip on life.

I love the littles girls costumes! So fun that they can take dance lessons.

Smiling and laughing are all we can do sometimes when things seem to be backing up and come right at us again:)

Your positive attitude makes me smile and I will try to remember that while smiling through the mess IT does become easier!

I'm sorry I was giggling when you first told me the toilet story at bunko. I know it must've been a terrible terrible mess! But just like you said...who has the CLEANEST bathroom on the planet? YOU! Call me next time and I'll run over with the shopvac to help clean up the water. err whatever the wet mess is. :)
