Some things to make me smile

So today was one of those days that made me wonder why I even bothered to leave the house.

I was supposed to have an appointment at 10:00 this morning at the preschool to get James all set up, but somehow the clock in my bedroom got set ahead an hour so when I was just about there I realized that it was only 8:50 not 9:50.

Instead of driving all the way home and back I decided to let James play at a nearby park for a while and hold my overly tired and very cranky baby until it was time to go. This would have been fine with me except for the fact that when I got to the school the lady wasn't there. One of the teachers called her on her cell phone and apparently she forgot to pencil me in, even though she had just called me on Friday to find out when I could come.

Still in pretty good spirits, I decided to run a few more errands, stop in and see Josh for a while, and then go pick up Samm at my sister-in-laws house and hang out for a bit before I took the kids to the pool.

Unfortunately we were only at the pool about an hour before some kid majorly puked after going down the water slide and it was so bad they decided to just shut down the pool for the rest of the day.

So, after being gone almost the entire day I really wasn't in the best mood until we got home and I noticed this.

Apparently I'm not completely void of a green thumb. After I planted two of these last year some bugs ate them all up. Both plants grew back this year, but this one has been pretty small and until now hasn't bloomed at all.

And then I got on to check some blogs and saw this cute little girl giggle. And now I'm smiling.
