Today is not a fun day for me--it's a heavy work day. I have a to-do list that would choke a horse, a weekend to clean up after, listings that have to be done for my online shops and projects on deadlines that have to be finished. It's not a day where I'm anticipating having any spare time at all, especially not any time to relax. However...
I did take 5 frivilous minutes and write a thank you note to one of my adult sons that's living with me (until he's got all the paperwork done to go into the Marines). Why? He's seen how busy I am, and has been doing little things around the house for me today without my asking him to. A load of dishes has been done, lunch was magically fixed, and he understood when we were having a conversation that I was working with numbers and couldn't talk with him for a few moments until I got the numbers recorded, because he wanted to throw numbers at me too. This is also the kid I'm most likely to get in a yelling match with lol. So, I wrote him a simple note that said "Every little thing you do for the household helps me out in ways you can't imagine. I wanted to let you know I noticed and I really appreciate the help." In purple pen, on a 3 x 5" card. I'm not always good at letting my kids know that I appreciate them, but today I took 5 minutes out of a very busy day. Just thought I'd share :)
