Its not all doom and gloom, you know. Thank all that is good and holy that I have this delightful pre-schooler in my life to put a smile on my face.

Yesterday, still stewing, dark and miserable, I walked into Maddy’s preschool to pick her up. What I found there cleared away all my clouds: Maddy and 5 of her adorable girlfriends doing “ballet.” Pirouettes, grand jetes and all kinds of funk.
And as we walked to the car, her bright little voice declared, “Its a brand new day, Mommy.”
Yes, baby, it is.
In my mind I just said, Awwwwwwe.
I’d find it damn near impossible to keep a scowl on my face with that face looking back at me.
The thing about days is that, no matter how crappy one may be, the next one always starts out fresh. And if that day has preschoolers doing ballet, well, it can’t be all that bad.

Well done, Mads. It doesn’t surprise me, though. You are a constant source of joy to all of us—even on your down days, so Mads is learning from the best.
Love to you, lady.

I hope you survive busy season and all the other stuff you’re going through…at least it is nice to know there are bright spots in dark days…!!!
And the clouds, they did part,
And the Sun, did through them peep.
Despair left my heart,
As I watched my baby sleep.
Children can be better ice-cream for making you feel better.
Sometimes, when my world is in shitsville my kids will say something that re-affirms my faith in life.
Makes me wonder what I did to deserve them… in a good way. So happy I did.
So glad your lovely daughter helped you.

Just stick your tongue out, hold that sweet little crayon filled hand, and everything will be fine!

Sometimes…just sometimes, kids are absolutely awesome and know just what to say. And also? Your daughter is ADORABLE.
Hope the clouds have lifted!

I never wanted a girl. I was pissed when I found out I was having a girl.
But?
I’ve been there. Have been lifted up by that sweet, exhuberant little girlness, that magic only a little girl can conjure.
I’m happy to take part in the ‘New Day’. Every day.
Yay you.
Yay us.
So cute! I love their sunshine. If only the sunshine were the only part we saw, right?

What a face…and what a moment to walk in and see.
I think you needed that.
Adorable-icious
