Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

Yesterday, I found myself in the awkward position of needing to be in three places at one time.

Y'all should know that I'm not an over-programmed mommy who doesn't know how to say no. I know how to say no, and I say it. Frequently. I once cracked up an entire PTO meeting with a creative--and very firm--no.

And yet yesterday, I still found myself needing a couple of clones. How do these things happen?

Our church secretary, Rebecca, came to my rescue, removing one of my commitments with no inconvenience to pretty much anyone (brilliant!). She is, even as church secretaries go, amazing, and that's saying something. Church secretaries have to be amazing. Can you even imagine having that job? I can't. I could definitely say no to that job.

I wanted to thank her for her brilliance and kindness and general amazingness, so I packaged up some gourmet caramels in bright yellow tissue and a sheer white drawstring bag, and made a quick tag.

We've had gloomy, gray, wet weather this week, and this sunshiny yellow reflects Rebecca's sunshiny helpfulness.

And I just have to share a funny Jack story. Jack has had to take standardized tests for the past week(don't even get me started on standardized testing....that is a rant subject for my other blog). Since Jack has special needs, he takes his tests in a small group environment with aides and an intervention specialist. While the group was concentrating hard on the math portion of the Ohio Achievement Assessment, Jack started singing, "I'll keep on fighting 'til the end...."

That's my champion.
