Friday’s like this makes me almost want to buy a lottery ticket…

Seriously I am about to bust I am having such a good day. Not that the Lord does not bless me each day I open my eyes to a new day. But some days stand out more than others.

    1. My oldest son made the Middle School basketball team. All sports that have been played by my sons, were teams you did not have to try out for. Well this team you had to try out for. Meaning, the “powers that be” could say you are not good enough. So as he slept like a baby last night, I was up at least several times with basketballs bouncing in my dreams. As he went to try-outs this morning, I came back home and cleaned and prayed like never before. And when we finally found out he did indeed make it, I felt like I had lost a year of my life (or at least added more gray for my hairdresser to deal with). Goodness, no one ever said you went through these feelings again as a parent.

    Heck, I am still scared when I tried out for cheerleading in high school and it was between me and another girl, and the other girl (how do I say this politely…was a bit heavier). And SHE WON! Now I totally know, now that I am a more mature woman, how superficial I was in my thinking. But the visions of “not being enough” came back strong. Praise God I am enough for JESUS CHRIST!

Ok back to my great day…

    2. I got money in the mail. Seriously I got money that I did not know was coming. How cool is that!!! My first thought was trying to figure out how many outfits and shoes I could buy. But then I came back to reality and decided to share it with hubby =) We are running away for the day tomorrow, sans kids =) So we can go and play like kids.

    3. I have a weekend with NO KIDS. Oh mercy..someone pinch me.

    4. Finally but NOT least I got an email out of the blue by a FAVORITE author. She was my favorite before I even became a serious reader. Her books changed me. She has you laughing and crying, while teaching you along the way.

Ok off to see if I won the lottery (which might be a little hard since I never buy the ticket)…but the way my day is going you never know.
