Busy Day

I’m writing this on my cell phone in bed because I’m too exhausted to fire up the laptop. It’s been a long day. I can’t help but go to bed with a happy heart though. As long as the day has been, it’s been filled with things to be grateful for.

I woke up late this morning and traffic was a nightmare. I wanted to scream and was so mad at myself for not getting up with my alarm. As I got on the road though, I realized it would have been even worse if I’d gotten out of the house on time. By the time we left the house, the bad wrecks had already happened and I was able to take an alternate route. If we went our usual way, it would have taken at least 30 minutes to get the girls to school.

I didn’t want to go to work today, but I remembered that I’m in a job now where I can be authentically myself. I no longer have supervisors second guessing my abilities or coworkers causing drama and playing petty games. I can wear whatever I please without fear of being sent home or called into someone’s office. My business partner is one of the smartest people I’ve ever met and the service he provides is unmatched. The results we see are truly the fruits of our labor and something I can be proud of.

This afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting with my Girl Scout Troop and teaching them about growing vegetables. I LOVE gardening and planting and I got to share that with 21 girls today. Each girl tasted cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and green beans. Then they let us know which ones they liked and didn’t like. We talked about soil and compost and they planted their very own cherry tomato, cucumber, and green bean seeds to bring home. We also sent the girls home with planting guides and info on composting to share with their parents.

To sweeten the pot even more, my fellow troop leader and I had two unexpected helpers show up. We 100% couldn’t have done it without them. I have no idea how teachers do this all day every day. I would expire. We also had a special guest named Carrot. One of the girls brought her pet hamster to school this week so she came along for the ride and even tried some veggies. The kids had so much fun and we only spilled dirt on the floor once.

As soon as we got things cleaned up we headed to across town see The Boy play in his spring band concert. He plays trombone and did an amazing job. It’s crazy to think that he’s so good after playing for less than two years. We are all so proud of him. He was even sitting on the end of the row this time so I was able to get more than just the top of his head in the video. We also go to see Crazy Eyes who was there to support her brother. Gotta love a two for one special. Any extra times we get to see the big kids are exciting.

Overall it’s been an awesome day. I’m so glad I got to have it. I’m also very very happy to be going to bed!

I hope you all have amazing days tomorrow! God bless!
