a blur of NICEish...

41.wed 3/18- stayed home with my kevin. was NICE to him all day. just simple stuff like kind words, cuddles and food. i should be the Nicest to him, he deals with me the most often and sometimes at my worst.

42.thur 3/19- i did a lot of small NICE acts today, but i want to say today i got a little NICE back. how thrilling. a little while back kevin and i went to the kid's school and taught the 3rd grade classes how to fold some oragmi flowers. it was NICe and FUN! anyhow, we got a Ton of Thank you cards today! a big envelope full of handmade thank yous from all the 3rd graders. not just one genaric card signed by them all like the "work happy b-day cards" actual cards from each kid! like if Good!

43.fri 3/20- i helped the boys i'm babysitting make cards for their parents! figured they may enjoy some thanks from their 1 and 4 year old. it was a mess but they turned out really cute.

44. sat 3/21- first my pal Dave was So nice to me! thanks!! he taught me to drive stick, took me out for lunch, and then returned me to my car that i left at bar the night before. (i should send him a card shouldn't i!) anyhow, saturday was my friend tami's big 4-0 birthday. she wasn't doing much for it so i thought the least i could do was get her a fun gift and take her to dinner. i made her a silly basket full of lotions, body washes, sprays and Depends and Fixodent. haha! cute. she laughed. i dropped that off and picked her up. we went to dinner and i fought her for it, but she For ONCE let me pay!

so... i'm going to be frank here about sunday-yesterday was a bit of a blur. full of babysitting and running errands and still managing my own kids and cleaning the house and laundry. i've been overwhelmed and busy! the only reason i even have the days that are on here is because i managed to jot those down on a bank slip. i am still watching a girl friend of mines kids and the kids she baby sits for and occasionally some other babes. it's fun, but draining and BUSY. no time for anything. i'll say this, in general i've continued to be NICE just nothing notable at the moment.
i thought about it last night and thought i better do something and then realized i did a couple yesterday. i baked bone shaped cookies for Lola's birthday party (yes our dog is having a 6th b-day partly this fri)(and yes, i did all this baking with a 4month old, 1 year old, and 4 year old) but, hailey loves that pooch. anyhow, that is notably NICE i think.
then last night i played uno with the 4 big kids before bed. i was done...but though, they could use a good game night. mine because it's been nuts around here and the other 2 because they've been momless for a while now. so, overly sleepy and really not enthusiastic about it. we played an hour of uno. and then shipped them off to bed.

Today...hmmm...i should send dave a card...or maybe drop a gift off for tiffany. i bough something i think she'd like a "no-reason" gift is the best kind...oh- i WILL send out holly's cookies today on my own dime! she's fab, has been waiting and it'll be a gift!
