I've got to be honest. This was a really tough week for me. There were a lot things I had been looking forward to that kind of collapsed. I was struggling to stay positive. However, the other day I turned on some upbeat music. Sometimes I forget how happy music can make me. Music is so great at helping change my mood. My little guys have some hilarious dance moves that can always make me smile.
I picked up this little puzzle for Rex the other day. He's never really been into puzzles in the past, but suddenly he was enthralled with this one. I think he's put it together like 50 times now and each time he's so proud of himself. It makes me happy.
Lastly, I am so grateful for my husband. He's really truly awesome. I don't mention him much here, but without him I wouldn't really be able to even do this whole blog thing. When I had a particularly hard day this week he came home early and let me head out for some alone time. He continues to amaze me with his support and encouragement. I am really lucky.
So, here's to a new fresh week. I am always grateful for a new start. See you tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by to visit.
That song always cheers the mood at our place, too! I have cheeky percussionists at my place who make me giggle. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead of you :)
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing this week. My husband has been gone for a few days on a golf trip with buddies. If was feeling so stressed with my 3 littles, so I put on a great cd I've found called Hidden in My Heart. It has scriptures sung in lullaby format. I love it more than the kids. Blessings!
ReplyDeletethat is so sweet of your husband. Glad you guys take such good care of eachother! Here's to a better week!
ReplyDeletehere's to a great week for you! music and a good hubby are healers in my house too.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, I love that you admit that you're having a rough week. I love that you look for ways to make it fun (with upbeat music and letting your kids help you laugh), and I love that you give credit where credit is due (go hubby). Here's to next week! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your ups and downs. It's true, music IS food for the soul; and a childs' laughter, and a husband who loves you for ALL that you are. Hope you have a wonderful week!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the rough week. I think we've all been there. I hope this week is much better. Oh and you are right, music has a way of changing moods pretty easily.
ReplyDeleteMusic is a salve for the weary soul, and dancin' is it's band-aid...
ReplyDeleteI hope you are headed to a great week. Sometimes my mood just needs a little perk up and music really is great for that. As for hubby's, well I believe nothing beats a good one, if ya got one, keep him!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to have a wonderful husband who treasures you! I have that too and Thank god every day for such a wonderful Godly man!
ReplyDeleteAw. Sorry about the rough week. It's wonderful that your husband was able to come home and save you. I hope this next week is better!
ReplyDeleteLove the little dance moves. Hehehe...
ReplyDeleteEven though you're stressed or have a bad day, don't your kids make it a little brighter with the adorable things they do? Mine do. Even if it's just a little snuggle, a joke or crazy dance moves.
Have an awesome and blessed week! :)
How cute is Rex's hair in that pic, makes him look older. And three cheers for husbands who really do know how (and when) to step it up.
