What made me smile today
« on: November 06, 2005, 08:15:09 pm »
This is in the spirit of 'what i learned today', because it seems like everyone could use a smile around here. So tell us: what is one thing that made you smile today?

I'll go first:

I work in special ed. Today in library, one of my downs syndrome students who usually has bad behavior was a perfect angel. After we sat down to look at books, he was like "oh no! Ms H!" and got up - he picked out a book he thought I would like and brought it to me because he didn't want me to be left out. I guess you had to be there, but it was very sweet and made me smile.  :)

Great topic!!

Things have been tough at work lately and my co-workers and I have been complaining to each other alot. Well, this morning a student from another class comes in to my room and gives me a present. I was stunned and asked who it was for. The students said me and left. I was confused but so happy when I looked inside the bag and found a really funny card with a teddy bear. The message told me to hug the teddy every time I get frustrated.  ;D It's so great when people let you know they care out of the blue!
Hugs,

Target has a great toy sale going, so I got part my daughters Christmas present already. I'm so excited! I'm so bad at buying presents early because I always want to give them out right away. Hopefully I'll have the strength to wait this time.  ;)

Great topic:)

Two thing made me smile  today....

First was watching my girls try to tree the 15+ squirrels at the park today only to look back and see squirrel number one was back off the tree and they had to start all over again.


The other which was my best laugh of the day...

 May likes me to hold her bone for her while she chews on the other end. After her dropping it in my lap over and over I finally thought it would be fun to place it on her butt (her hip bones) to let her try to get it off.
WELL.. She didn't try to get it off because for the life of her she didn't know where it had went...she spent 2 minutes looking in my lap , on the floor, sniffing the desk to see if it was there...finall y I felt so bad for her being an airhead I took it off her butt and gave it to her. She looked at it like WOW there you are...can you say Jessica Simpson of the dog world :D

  WHAT AN AWESOME THREAD!!!

THINGS THAT MADE ME SMILE TODAY-  Reading this post!!!!! one other thing that made me smile today-after 7 years grooming this customer's little dog, that man finally opened up and we had a great conversation!  he is always very sweet but very shy and stand-offish.  well i dont know what the difference was today but he came to pick up his dog and he must have felt good (he has health problems) but when he opened his mouth, it came pouring out like a flood.  he talked and talked.  after he left, i felt great!  like an angel had came thru the door!

I'll do what made me smile YESTERDAY, cause it's a cute story. 

I had a horrible day yesterday..... very negative, upsetting, and depressing, so I didn't have much to smile about.  I was sitting in the living room watching TV and my daughter came up to me and gave me the BIGGEST hug EVER!!  I said,"What was that for?" and she said,"Mom, even though you had a bad day I just want you to know I love you.  I'll love you no matter what, as long as we love each other we won't have bad days, because the fact that I love you is all that really matters." LOL  Now where the heck did that come from?  She's 5!!!!  But anyway THAT right there made me smile.

Andi -- I'm having a sucky day today and that story almost made me cry!!!  You are so lucky to have such a super daughter.  I'm glad she cheered you up :)

JENN!! You are not supposed to have sucky days!!  You're so chipper and happy all the time you don't need sucky days!!  I almost cried too when she said that, but it's because she made me so dang happy!  I swear she's a really wise old person reincarnated into a small child, some of the things she says baffles me!
