GREAT DAY!!!!

You just gotta love when you wake up to a fantastic day! When i woke up this morning i was soooooo not ready to get up! It was raining and cold and the kids never want to get up on days like this. But they got up and dressed with no problems today. Good thing #1. After they left...i did not want to go get in the shower. Ashley had stayed at my house last night. We had a self care class to go to this morning and had to leave by 9. So i told her to go take the first shower while i got myself going. While she was in there....my Honey called me! He is getting his Combat Medic Badge! I'm so happy for him. The first thing in my mind was to congratulate him. The second and i mean immediate second was...WAIT! Combat....Medic only given when medic duties are performed in Combat zones! So of course i asked instantly....what happened? He was acting all clueless and was like "what do you mean?" "Honey...for you to get that you had to have done something over there using your medical skills...so what happened?" He said he couldn't tell me over the phone...i understand. But he assured me everyone was ok that he was perfectly fine and to his knowledge there were no serious injuries. So i'm scared for the guys but i'm happy he's getting his badge. That's promotion points there! YAY Honey! But at the same time....he takes care of the hubby's of my friends. So that's scary! Anyway...hearing from him though was good thing #2! Well then i am running late. So after i got dressed and we finally got to the car it was 9:20. Just in time for our mail to run! First off i got a box! I LOVE packages! Turns out though this one is from Becky....from my military wives board that i am addicted to! She sent me a box full of toys! My girls are going crazy! They have already been in my moon sand and have already played with the instant circus. It's the things you put in warm water and the sponge things expand from the capsules to make things. And now they are playing jacks. I fought them off the makeup although i did let Kaitlyn paint her nails. I have taken some pics of the contents...or what i could get from them. I'll share them in a minute! That was good thing #3. THEN i go to open the rest of my mail and i had a check in there! Apparently during the summer when we got the loan from AER, we over payed when we payed them back. We just paid back the total they said we would owe. They must have included interest in that. So since we paid it back like 2 weeks after we got it we didnt' have to pay so much. So they sent me a refund. Couldn't have been better timing. I had $25 in my bank and needed gas in my car and food for my kids. AND i got to use that money to open a local bank account, which was also much needed. Good things #4 and 5! My girls are home from school now and haven't fought at all! They didn't even get mad like they usually do when they saw that Ashley was gone. The blessings in this day just keep piling up! I can honestly say that i have no idea how on days like this that there are Atheist in this world. Today was such a blessed by God day! So i'll be leaving you now. But i'll be including pics from my package as i go! Thank you soooo much Becky! I absolutely LOVE it! The pics are not great. I had to take them with my phone. My camera broke! It's a bead kit to make bracelets. kiddie makeup. glow in the dark bracelets. a flashing tinkerbell bracelet. hot pink playing cards (love those) jacks. bouncy ball. squishy ball. paddle ball. slinky. instant circus. moon sand. body glitter. ALL fantastic things! i'm going to play!
