1)Beautiful soft rain today...tomorrow is supposed to be only 70!  Yay!  I guess I will be able to finally paint the rest of my kitchen.
2)Not so beautiful hard rain that made me afraid that my basement was going to flood again...but it didn't! Yay.  Thanks to Alex shop vacuuming all of the water out!
3)Going to the library with my girlie girl and being told that she feels that she is the person she is today because I taught her to be artistic, love to write, taught her about acting and all of these things made her the confident person she is.  I actually started crying.  Just a little.  I was so grateful because I had just lost my temper with Alex and Joey because I had told them to get their room packed and realtor ready many, many, many times and finally just yelled at them after Alex told me it wasn't my job to tell them how to clean their room, they do plenty of work around to house...sheesh, I blew my top. I know that in general they are amazing kids, but sometimes they really push my buttons.   I was feeling really like the worst parent in the world. Liss didn't even know that I had banged heads with the boys, so when she told me that I inspired her to be strong and that she wanted to be like me....it was a blessing and made me feel like maybe once in a small while I might get this parenting thing right.
