This is Sam watching Derek and the boys saddle up before riding bikes to school this morning.

This is his reaction when he watched them ride away without him.  Poor baby.

Despite the fact that…

1.  My fully-decorated Christmas tree's cord has melted and now doesn't light-up.

2.  Both of the bathtub faucets upstairs are broken.

3.  I have chigger bites on my feet/ankles from the farm.

4.  I have a 9-year old and 6-year old that looked like death when I picked them up from school today, and started running fevers as soon as we got home.

and

5.  Our broken fire alarms in the house are chirping at me…

I've had a great day!

Here's why…

1.  I got a work-out in this morning.

2.  At Samuel's ENT appointment we discovered that his ears, nose and throat are perfect.  This means he's hearing just fine and so we continue with speech therapy just as it is.  It was important to rule the hearing issue out and we did, and we're thrilled!

3.  Because of the location of our apptmt, we made a stop to see our friend, Laura (Lulu) who is a middle school principal.  It was so fun to see her and watch her interact with those middle school kids.

4.  Because of the location of the apptmt, I got to have an impromptu lunch with Mike and Liv. 

5.  I got to go to the Container Store.  Heaven will look similar, I'm convinced.  I stocked up on this year's wrapping paper (red and white polk-a-dots!).

6.  The poor big boys were so tired and miserable they went to bed at 6.  So I spent a delightful and uninteruppted hour playing with Samuel.  He's so charming!

7.  My house is quiet and messy and I am at peace.

Hope your day was this good…
