As exhausted as I was yesterday, I kept my appointment for my facial. I needed that time to care of me. My girlfriend then texted asking if I wanted to go for a pedicure and grab dinner. I took advantage of the fact that I was already out and met her. We spent a few hours catching up on the kids, our worries, our hopes, and laughed until we closed the restaurant.
Today, Pete took the boys out to watch the Hawks game so I had some time with Tessie. We went out for dinner and she filed me in on all her plans for her 13th birthday. We finished the evening off with snuggling on the couch going through the menu for her party and her birthday wish list.
The last two days were exactly what I needed this week!
Craziness of Being a Kouts 
Days like these help us to grow gratitude and fill the cup. I am happy for you.
