10 things that made me happy this week

Oh Hello Friday.  This week has been one for the books.  I say that every week don't I?  It's been a tough one for sure.  Tuesday, Anthony was roughed up on the bus.  Let me tell you guys, I am not a confrontational person, but you mess with my kid and I will show up at your house. Thankfully the kids parents were proactive about it.  I wish I could say the same for the school.  As far as I know, it's Friday and nothing has been done yet.  I called yet again this morning.  I love this kid more than he could ever know and I hate seeing his spirit broken like it was.  Despite all the craziness, there were a few really happy highlights this week.

One of my most favorite things about Friday is linking up with Krysten, Lindsay and Charlotte to share a little happiness.  Some weeks it's harder than others but I'd like to think that even the darkest of weeks have a little bit of light in them.  Happiness can be found in the most unexpected places.  Or in food. Just saying.

1.  We are a tortoise family! Igor, now Koopa is settling in great.  
2.  A few good and real friends.
3.  The Fosters on Netflix.
4.  I have talked to all my siblings this week.
5.  David. How this man still loves me is a mystery to me.  But he always has my back.
6.  Walking to school to get the little kids.  
7.  Warmer weather.
8.  A street full of kids playing.
9.  Sleep and naps.
10.  Sweet and kind boys.  God how I love them!

I would love to hear about what has made you happy this week.  What has you smiling?  Was it something someone said or did for you.  Or was it something that you were able to do to help someone else?  Was it something as simple as a smile or a hug?  Or something much bigger.  Be happy and share that happiness. Lord knows this world needs it!
