Yesterday went well and the girls and I literally took time to smell the flowers. After reading a bunch of books, they wanted to watch a movie. While they did that, I had a chance to research volunteer opportunities I am interested in. It seems they take time to be approved, so they won't be happening quite yet. But soon I will be helping strangers weekly!
Today is about my mother-in-law. We are planning on seeing her tonight, so Lauren and I decided to make a body scrub for her. Anyone who knows me knows 2 things about me. 1.) I already have what I need for this, including a pretty glass jar to put it in. 2.) I love giving people things. I am always the one Christmas morning saying "Open my gift first!" So naturally I gravitate toward giving people things as my way of doing something nice. (This would be why I am trying to do volunteer work. Left to my own devices, I would just give people things every day and we would have no money for bills. I am choosing to mix things up AND step out of my comfort zone by serving when I can.) Hopefully my mother-in-law Jane will appreciate the body scrub, especially since her granddaughter helped make it! We can't wait to see her face, and I will bet Lauren will tell her she has to cook it.....
