When a Tricky Week Gets Trickier

I won't say bad because there is good in all days, good in all tricky weeks.  But this is one of those weeks when I can hardly wait for Sunday night to come (yes, it sort of continues until Sunday evening) 

One more thing got added to Thursday night that I had forgotten about. 

One more car had to go in the shop. 

We walked to school today... not too much fun on the ice and piles of unshoveled sidewalks.

And on and on. 

But I press on and find the good...

I got to walk with Anna to school and I got to push Abigail in the stroller to school today.  Anna didn't complain one bit running behind my 'get them there on time' pace.  And boy did Abigail love being pushed in the stroller.  (until we got close to her line and she asked to get out and park it in the bike rack so that her friends wouldn't see her being pushed like a baby)

The fresh air felt good.

Scott has a more flexible schedule that he used to and is able to pick up the girls from school.

We'll have our car tomorrow night.

We can't go to group viola class this evening so the girls and I will be home when Scott heads back to work.

So there is good, so much good in even a tricky week. 

And just some pictures that don't fit this post at all. 

Abigail celebrated her 100th day of school two weeks ago.  Her very clever and awesome Kinder teacher had the children dress as if they were 100 years old.  Grandma provided the shall, gloves, and hat.  It was adorable!  And it makes me smile.  Life is good.

(it was Valentines day too so I couldn't go all out on looking 100)
