Today I was in such a good mood I couldn’t wait to get home. I knew today was going to be a good day all around.  I got home, gave my husband a big kiss and went in to my stepson’s room and said a big hello. Asked him how his day was . . .

“not good”

ME: Oh, I am sorry. What happened?

SS: I was looking at someone.

ME: Come again?

SS: I was looking at someone.

ME: During a test?

SS: No. During writing.

ME: Okay. Got a card?

SS: Yes.

ME: What happened?

SS: I was looking at C because he was talking and Mr. gave me a card. I was supposed to be writing and I was daydreaming.

ME: Oh. Bummer. Did you fill out  your agenda and bring all your homework home?

SS: Yes.

ME: HEY!! Give me a high five. I am proud of you. So awesome!

Seriously, folks you win some and you lose some. But gosh darn it the kid finally did one thing we asked.

And today, that was SO good enough for me.
