Day 156

So I checked the stats report on my blog today.  I don't like to check too often, because not knowing how many people read my blog a day (and usually the number is around ONE) is fine with me.  This blog can be read by anyone or no one...it will still be here for me to enjoy!  I have officially reached almost EVERY single continent with my blog!  That is pretty neat!  Now if only I knew someone who lived in Australia and Antarctica...that would be cool to have every continent having someone who read my blog!  Still have some time left so we will see!
Started off my day feeding the kiddos breakfast and rushing out the door to work.  I picked up Joel from school and had a nice chat with him, got him lunch and was able to give Connor hugs and kisses before heading back TO work.  I don't see the kids too much on Wednesdays, but helping other kids is really rewarding and I am grateful that the boys are in good hands!
After work, I came home and set up the house for my Pampered Chef party.  I have a wonderful friends who has been my consultant and dear friend for many years now.  We always have a fun time when she puts together great food!  After the party, we always talk about our kids and Joel and his progress with his sensory disorder.  Nancy is a bit of an expert on the subject since her child has a sensory processing disorder and Nancy was studying to become an occupational therapist.  She always gives us great tips on how to deal with Joel and his quirks.  It was so great to see so many good friends, eat wonderful food, and talk talk talk the night away! 
I am so thankful for the dear friends that I have that have been so kind to me and thoughtful this past week.  I am so grateful that I can be there for my friends when they need me as well.  Life is not always easy, but this quote came to my mind yesterday and it has stayed all day, "be kind and friends will follow."  I know this to be true.  I am grateful for the opportunities of kindness in my life and that friends come with emotional support in phone calls, wonderful e-mails, and hugs.  I am grateful AND happy for all of it!  The happiest moment of all is that today is Wednesday and tomorrow is Thursday...this week is almost DONE!
