Each and everyday is truly a gift, isn’t it? To be able to wake up and take in a big deep breath, and feel the life in your bones, what a miracle! I know it’s easy to wake up on the wrong side of the bed, or have a “case of the Mondays” but there has to be at least one thing you smiled about today…was it your little ones attempt at making breakfast? Did you hear something funny on the radio as you were headed in to work?
Please share at least one, if not three things that brought a smile to your face!
Mine are:
1. The Wiggles, these guys are a little bizarro aren’t they? My son is 2 1/2 and he never really has watched them, but his grandma sent us The Big Red Car dvd, and he got pretty into it. I had to smile at these grown men running around in their red, blue, yellow, and pirate outfits, like a bunch of kids. Captain Feathersword was great!
2. The sun is shining today! In Oregon that is something to smile about for sure, as it can be cloudy for a majority of the year.
3. Starbucks, ok, it’s not my favorite, but it’s so darn convenient! I got something new today: a Gingersnap Chai tea latte with Soy. If you like sweet, you will like this!
Ok, your turn!

1. My grandmother. Sat at her house today and it felt like home. She has made me her next door neighbor since I left my husband.
2. Signspotting.com , all the stupid signs that people put up, makes me want to pee my pants.
3. Seeing you back in the blogosphere!
LOL, those are great J! Thanks so much for the warm welcome.

If you think of all the things you are grateful for each morning before your feet hit the floor this can bring joy and happiness into each and every day.
1. The bank dropping the overdraft fee from my bounced checck.
2. The Judge agreeing with me that Love & Logic is a good parenting class and a requirement for my Ex to take.
3. Its 65 degrees today here at 6500 ft!
1. christmas music, it’s started already! On my way to work this morning, i found it a station that plays it all day. haha
2. My daughter Lolabelle, she screamed her little head off at 2am this morning. After many attempts to put her back to sleep, bottle, passy, back rub etc… All she wanted was to snuggle with mommy, asleep in seconds.
3. My job. I might not like it but there are times i’m so bored i can surf the net and find cool blogs like this one. And realize there are so many women out there like me.
ps i love being a single mommy!!!!!!!
my daughter, my daughter, my daughter
Yeah!! Green Bean Mama is baaaack!
My three things?
1. Man in Kentucky
2. Quotes in my Journal
3. Lucca singing
1. The *slurp, slurp, slurp* sound my son makes when he sees something he likes (it doesn’t even have to be food).
2. When I don’t hear the faucet after my daughter goes number 1 and I yell, “Tansy” and she responds, “I’m going poop.” I should learn to trust that she always makes the right decision.
3. The adoration both my kids have for the giant mouse (rat?) popularly known as Chuck E. Cheese.
1) Reading The Fox in Sox by Dr Seuss with my son and listening to him laugh his head off at the crazy rhymes.
2) Watching my son throw an insane tantrum (10 on the scale of 1-10) at our house, then burst into hilarious giggles as he looked at me, looking at him with a somewhat disinterested (yet amused) look on my face. He seemed to suddenly realize what he was doing was just ridiculous.
3) Reading Modernsinglemomma’s love blog and daydreaming about that being ME someday.
Thanks for adding me to your blog roll! I might not be the most prolific blogger, but I have fun with it when I have time!
