the day before.

1. Target trees on sale
Last night after work and swim lessons Jack and I grabbed my mom and headed to Target.  Our mission was a pre-lit Christmas tree for the lake house.  Mission accomplished.  It was easy and now it's complete.  I am getting excited for the Christmas season.  I was also able to show Jack his Christmas toys and tell him to ask Santa for those specific ones.  Yes - I actually did that.


2. Grocery shopping complete
Yesterday morning I made a quick trip to Kroger before work.  They had SO. MUCH. FOOD.  I was able to get everything purchased and today we will start prepping.


3. hair straightener
This morning I was running REALLY behind. I laid in bed for a full 60 minutes after my alarm went off which meant I needed to get myself and Jack ready in 30 minutes.  I had a 7am interview this morning that I could not miss.  I decided to take my mop of a hairdo and straighten it.  So freaking easy and fixed within seconds.


4. Poinsettia
Yesterday I walked into my office to see a small red poinsettia.  It makes me smile every time I see it.  It reminded me that random acts of kindness really do make a difference in someone's day.


5. Laying with Jack at night
Oh this little sweet boy of mine.  I find myself giving him a few extra hugs and kisses for 2 minutes or so before bed.  He usually talks about his day or just wants to cuddle.  Though many nights I am near the end of my sanity - his little hands make my heart skip a beat.
