I almost feel hungover from all the excitement yesterday! The headache is back and in full force but I'm trying not to let it get the best of me. I leave for my trip the day after tomorrow and with work and kids and home, I have a lot to do before I can head out of here. My son Jordan (14 yrs old.. future movie producing superstar) is doing a documentary and has chosen to make me the subject. I'm both honored and horrified. I love to TAKE pictures but to be in them, not really my thing. But reluctantly, I agreed. I'll be taking the camera with me and video taping the journey thru this weekend. I'm secretly a little excited! This could be my big break into Hollywood.... holla!
Today is a cool good deed... Jason (gorgeous husband) and I get to take the first load of toys that we've been collected at my work and drop them off for the Christmas drive at the shelter. I've been on the receiving end of help at Christmas and without that help, my kids would have had nothing. It was amazing to me to be "Santa" this time. To be the one delivering the toys that would help someone's Christmas. As the child getting the toy, smiles, smiles, smiles. As the parent of the child, it was such a relief for me knowing that for just a little while longer, I was able to keep the truth of a sometimes cruel world from the minds and hearts of my own children and now I got to pass that on to another parent.
What has your Tuesday brought? Any opportunity? Yesterday Jordan told me that we all help someone everyday and that most of the time we don't even realize we've done it. Is that true for you today?
