Sometimes life gives you nice surprises

June 28, 2012 By Emily 2 Comments

Sometimes, it’s the little things that count. And it’s the little surprises that make your day.

Like realising there are seven donuts in your six pack from the supermarket… a pack that was already on special! SCORE!

Or that the store that delivered your daughter’s new bedroom furniture – the same store that refused to change the colour you ordered when you realised you’d made a mistake – delivered the colour you wanted anyway! And then sent you a ‘we’re sorry for the mistake’ pillow! SCORE!

Or that the people you are soon to be house-sitting for are keeping their cleaner on while they’re away! SCORE!

Or that your daughter is not rebelling against the ridiculous, shouting NO BATH! NO BATH! She is actually insisting on having a bath. NO! BATH! NO! BATH! She wants a bath! SCORE!

I feel like I should have some inspirational, fist-pumping Rocky-style music playing behind this post. Life is awesome! SCORE!

What has gone right for you today?

    LOL! What a great post! Lots of awesome stuff happening there for you 😉
    Last night, coming home to an empty house after Blogopolis, I had the munchies but didn’t think we had anything to eat. Then, I found a packet of Salt and vinegar chips at the bottom of the pantry…SCORE !
