I got a virtual reality check this morning. I’ve been in a bit of a funk as of late. Health issues with my little girl and the now infamous “broken leg” have got me feeling blue.
So when I found this kind award, given to me by my sweet twin mommy friend, Tonya at A Day in my Life, I realized that I haven’t been smiling.
“If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint…I will change my expression and smile.” Yep. Spoke to me.
So I forgot my complaint, put Miss Tuesday in the Ergo, Axel and Piper in the wagon, Spencer on his bike and we went for a walk. We wound up at the park and wouldn’t you know it, Axel who would not walk in his new walking cast, WALKED. Tuesday, who is too weak to walk thru the living room WALKED up the play structure and went down the slide and Piper and Spencer ran. And ran. And ran.
On the way home we passed a mama dear and her twin babies. I think she had the right idea~laying in the shade while her babies jumped and ran. But for now, while a couple of my “babies” can’t jump or run, I’ll be their ride. And I’ll try and do it with a smile.
Thanks Tonya! You really made my day.
So without further ado, I award……drum roll please…
These lovely ladies are all moms of twins and all make me laugh. Lots. And they all make me smile. Thanks for being you and being there. My life is better with all of you in it.
Now go pick 5 and spread the love.
*disclaimer- I know that I was supposed to post rules and what nots along with this award but I’m bad with rules and way too busy, and let’s face it, lazy, to be re-typing blog award rules. :)
oh yay. I would like to believe that my award actually made your day turn out this well, but I know deep down there were great forces at work.
I’m so SOOOOO happy that Axel walked. That is such fabulous news.
Oh and honey, as for the rules, have you ever heard of the ‘copy, paste’ function :). Little tip for next time he he.
Love you hon 🙂
Good attitude change. That sounds like the JK I know and love. it is so hard when kids are sick to keep a good attitude but that is when they need it the most. Tuesday is in my prayers. I know the iron will start helping her soon.
Ahh…thanks sweetie for the award! It is so nice to be loved! 🙂
yeah to Axel walking! That’s our boy!!!
Big hugs to Miss Tues. Praying for her and love her so much!
Thanks for including me for this award, you are so sweet. And you make me laugh and smile a lot too 🙂 I know you’re dealing with some rough stuff right now and I’m hoping you can still find some things to keep smiling about. BIG HUGS!
JK, Thinking of you & praying.
