Beautiful Smile

I woke up this morning (a little late, of course) and continued on with my morning routine. Groggily find my way to the bathroom, look in the mirror, made a weird face to show my disgust at what my hair seemed to do overnight. Somehow I go to bed with a pony tail and wake up with a dead squirrel on my head...it's a conundrum. After I make my weird face, I proceed to brush my teeth. I then make my way to the boys' room to initiate wake-up call #1. I turn on the shower and daydream for a few minutes till the water gets hot enough for me to get in. After the shower comes wake-up call #2. Still no response. I make my way downstairs to where the clothes are piled next to the dryer...(because I haven't had the energy to put them away). I find some clothes for the boys... I head back upstairs, wake-up call #3...I'm starting to get snippy at this point, no more mrs. nice girl..."WAKE UP!!!" Kemp stirs, but rolls back over...Joey mumbles something inaudible and covers his head with his blanket. I make my way to the bathroom to comb my hair. OK, I'm ready...Back to the boys' room, wake-up call #4... "WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE AGAIN!!! GET UP NOW! You don't want to fail 1st and 2nd grade, do you??" Finally there is some movement. Joey jumps up and runs to the bathroom, slams the door. Commence the complaining from Kemp... "I have to pee, I'm cold, I need to get a shower, etc."
I give Joey 2 minutes and knock on the door..."Joey all you had to do was brush your teeth...Kemp needs to go to the bathroom." Joey: "I haven't brushed my teeth YET!!"
OK, so anyway you get the point...after all of this, and about 10 minutes we are ready to head out the door. So it's a normal morning, nothing AWESOME yet...
I drop the boys off at school and head to the gym....still a normal day.
I get to the gym and hold the door open for a man coming in after me...he smiles at me and says, "Thanks!" He then continues on and opens the next door for me and says, "You have a beautiful smile." When a complete stranger stops and takes the time to say something so nice to you, how could that not make your day AWESOME?


My day has just become AWESOME!
