One of The Best Days Ever, For No Reason At All, Just Because

I LOVE MY LIFE!!!

Today was a great day, just because!

My mother-in-law knows how much I love the phrase 'just because'. I used to update her on our life on occasion (before I got super duper lazy) and always titled it Just Because. Tommy (the fabulous man, who loves me no matter what) started that though. He said that you shouldn't send cards just for birthdays or write love letters only on special occasions, but just because. I thought it was pretty fabulous and it will stay with me.

My fabulous kissed me goodbye and hugged me before he left for work and our children were angels this morning. I know God was just gracing me with a good morning cause I was nice most of the day yesterday :).  I went back to bed, yep, LUCKY!!! When I got up, I sat in the quiet and drank my cup of coffee and immediately wished it was 3:45 because then my life would all be home. It was just one of those great moments when you realize how truly truly lucky and blessed you are. I went and got my eyebrows waxed!!!!!!! They look fabulous, thank you Mrs. Amanda Beck at the Wild Hair Salon for your gracious talent!! Getting my eyebrows done always makes me feel beautiful. For some people it is manicures and pedicures, for me it is eyebrows. I enjoyed a lunch of cherry lime aid from Rialto in Alva and chips and dip at home. I know crazy right, who does that!! Hope I can fit into my dress for our date tomorrow night??? Then I read a magazine and surfed the net, played with the blog. Still learning, anyone have any tips? I then cheated on supper and bought pre-made fried chicken, warmed it up and TADA instant cook. My fabulous came home and the first thing he does is  . . . give me a kiss. How great is that! Then our kids get off the bus and they all had good days. I am thinking by now that I am dreaming, have to be!! And get this, Harley got an 80% on his AR book test. Might not sound like much to some but we have struggled with the AR test! I threw a little party and did a little dance. And he smiled, so I will do that more often! They did their homework, ate supper, played together nicely. I am NOT making this stuff up. Honest. I know I ought to be done, but it gets better. Libby and Harley cleaned the bathroom, and they only argued over who got to clean the toilet. NEVER and I do mean NEVER have they cleaned anything but their rooms without my help. I am almost hyperventilating by now. So I use the good 'ol inhaler so I don't pass out. After they are done, they all take their showers, pick up their rooms, and lay out their clothes for tomorrow. Emmy paints Libby's fingernails and Harley colors in his room. When bedtime comes around I don't have to yell and beg and neither does my fabulous. What is the deal? The rest of the night is normal, and my favorite time of life, I tuck my kids in. They all tell me they love me and I tell them the same. Wish I could explain it so that they really understood how much. I get kisses and hugs from all three. How could this not be heaven? And then Tommy does the same and says prayers with them. It is my heaven on Earth.

The Best Day Ever, Just Because!!!
