KINDNESS OF A STRANGER
You know how much I "love" my paper route. I look forward to Wednesdays every week! J/K!! This week was especially stressful because we did not get our papers until late Tuesday night but still had to be done by 3 on Wed. I was very grumpy and not very patient with the kids. I was out delivering and a complete stranger stopped to ask me if I lived in the neighborhood. She was very kind and seemed so happy with life. We chatted for about five minutes and she helped me feel better about what I do. She even said she loves receiving my paper every week which really improved my mood. A lot of people HATE it. I have even been chased down after delivering to someone who didn't want it. Anyways, this lady has no idea who I am and I probably won't ever see her again but her positive attitude and kindness to me significantly improved my day. So thank you stranger!
NEW BIKE
I bought Miss Care Bear a bike this week. I was going to fix La-La's old bike but it was pretty trashed and had already been through several kids as it was a hand-me-down from friends at church. It would have cost almost as much to fix it it as it was to just buy a new one. So my little 2 year old is THRILLED with her new bike. It is all she talks about and she would ride it all day if she could. I thought La-La was brave on her bike but Care Bear is even braver. She has no fear and rides like a pro. One time after she tipped over because she took a corner too sharp, she jumped up and said "That was really fun!" La-La was done with training wheels at 4 1/2 but I have a feeling Care Bear will be even younger.
TWO BUMS
One more quick story about Care Bear. (I feel like I talk the most about her but she is at that magical age of discovery and does not go to school so I have more time with her!) Anyways, she was taking a bath today and said "I have two bums! One in front and one in back but Jaco only has one bum!" It was pretty funny.

Punky,
I found your blog through Maria's. Very cute!! I had no idea your paper job was in the thousands. You are a trooper is all I can say. Thanks for writing a comment on the kids talent show performance. They loved that extended family has seen it. Happy Mother's Day tomorrow to one of the most patient and wonderful moms I know.

I am glad you have these blessings in your life. How did your baby grow up to be so big?!?!?!
Thanks for sharing your stranger story, it reminds me to reach out to others! She is such a dare devil, we haven't even learned to peddle at our house! Livi's brother has two bellybuttons instead of two bums. Kids say it the best!
