I’m currently in silver lining mode as I sit here semi buried in work. I’m taking a breather to blog and just, well, breathe. It’s been a busy day for me and I know that in a few weeks things will settle down and I’ll fall back into a routine and groove. I had a great weekend and I made sure to make it extra awesome because I knew that this week was going to kind of suck. And when I already think that way about things I get really discouraged because who wants to think about the days ahead and already know they suck? I sure as hell don’t. Saturday me and The Man are finally going to go see our friends in California which I’m truly excited about. But until then, I’ll be searching high and low for silver linings and things that make me smile because otherwise, I might crack.

So today’s silver lining is that I at least have a job. As much as I complain about having to work and wanting to stay home with my girls, I can’t. I need the money. And so since I HAVE to work I’m grateful for the job that I have because it could be a hell of a lot worse.

And without this girl right here, my world would definitely crumble a little bit more. So that’s silver lining number 2. Livie…who still lets me take tons of pictures of her everyday without complaining or rolling her eyes.

Here’s to hoping for a better week than I expected and to silver linings because we all need them.
