What did you do today?...

Here's what we did today - (sorry for the sideways picture, I did rotate it but it did not want to uploaded properly).

My Daily/Weekly Chore chart from Motivated Moms. You can Google it for the website, I'm to tired to post the link; it's 12:20 a.m. do you think I should be in bed right now? I started this chore chart in March and after some trial and error, making it work for me and my schedule, it's now going pretty well. I just cross things out that either don't apply to me or I do it on a different day then what they have. It has really helped me keep the house clean and still feel like I can "play" during the week and have some "me" time.

I keep my list on a pretty clip board I purchased from Etsey. It goes with the kitchen and I just love it.

After the chores were done, I did this:

I had spray painted this (or I should say, Barry did), a few weeks ago, but I felt like it needed a little color. So, today that's what I did. After that was done, I did this:

Then we did this:

And yes, I let Emma paint my toes, literally.

Oh, and we ran to Target, picked up Subway for lunch, and I made a few phone calls, talked to my sis, answered some emails, and gave Emma a shower. What did you do today?

Hopscotch Anyone?

We've been doing a lot of this lately:

Emma learned how to play Hopscotch the other day and now she's playing it all the time. She's even gotten better as the days have gone on. She's very excited with herself.

Thankful Thursday...

I am thankful for my Pam. She does hair and every time I leave her salon I feel happy. She just makes me happy. Her daughter, Ashlee, and I play tennis together and Pam's granddaughters attend the same preschool and soon elementary school, so we have some things in common.

I saw Pam yesterday to have my hair done. And wouldn't know, something "happy" happened. As you may have read, we're thinking about getting a dog. So, Pam's next customer comes in and I find out she's the head of the Pets in our subdivision. She knows of a breeder and some good places to get a rescue dog. She even mentioned that she would be willing to go with me to help find the "right" one. On top of that, she would help take care of the dog when we're on vacation. How nice is that? She was very lovely to talk with and again I felt happy.

Then, I give her my card and she flips it over and see's that I sell Cookie Lee Jewelry. She says she would like me to do a show for her. Wow.

So, you see, that's one reason why I need to keep my hair short; I love going to Pam's! She just makes people feel happy.
