Five Things Friday

5 Things That Have Made Me Smile In the Last Week

1. This week has been a nice, quiet week. As much as I miss Sarah's playgroup on Mondays, it's actually nice to not run around. I have had a lot of time to clean around the house and declutter. This week I found out that the library down the street from us has several "story hours" for the girls between now and the end of the year. I took the girls on Tuesday and we had a great time. Samantha is learning what it means to borrow something and return it. Sarah has a blast in the Children's room playing on the colored ABC rug and shouting out the letters in each square.
2. Less than 1 week to go for Thanksgiving!!!! (Have I mentioned how excited I am?)
3. I started my transcription job this past week. It took me quite a bit of time, but I finished my first assignment and did a great job. My next goal is to save my money from any transcribing assignments and start saving up for home improvements.
4. I'm really looking forward to this coming Sunday. Not only do I get to see my friend Sarah, but Sarah's daughter, Gabby turns the BIG 4 the week of Thanksgiving. Miss Gabby has decided to have a girls only birthday party: complete with a lunch date and a day at the salon for Samantha and all of Gabby's friends. I'm so excited for Sam. I'm sure there will be a blog post next week with Samantha's party pictures :)
5. Yesterday I was summoned for Jury Duty. You're reading this correctly, it's considered #5 on my "Five Things Friday" blog. One of the five things that has made me smile this week. I was a nervous wreck driving into Lynn yesterday morning, but in all honesty? It was a great day yesterday. Unfortunately, I cannot talk about the case because I was selected for the jury and I will be back in court today for closing arguments and until the jury has been deliberated, I can't talk about the court case. BUT I will say again, it was really a great day, and I will have to blog about it more on Sunday.
