The daily create asked what made you smile today? It has been a rough week, and it is only Wednesday. I don’t have high hopes of things turning around anytime soon. Finding something that even gave me a hint of joy was a little difficult. After I found something to be happy about today fate rewarded me with a 2nd one.

Now the reward from The Fates!

My children returned home from school this afternoon. They were told no electronics until they match socks today. The sock basket is full, and they need to have socks for school tomorrow. My youngest, age 7, snuck to the basement to watch TV. Suddenly I heard crying. so much despair. She comes up stairs and tells me she knows she was bad but something more terrible has happened! She has accidently deleted all the Netflix profiles! This is end of the world stuff for the 7 and 9 years old. They thought they would have to rebuild all the Netflix profiles from scratch. I am trying my best not to laugh at them. I said, “Well I can fix it but not until all the laundry is folded now.” So much anger and despair. So much joy and laughter on my end. I did end up showing them on the laptop that everything is still there they just lost access on the TV.

It’s the little things one should find joy in. I could have gotten mad but why? The whole thing was hilarious. They are punishing themselves enough and I need help with the laundry. I got a big win here.
