Cure for Grumpiness: La Madeleine and Groucho Marx

Monday was, as always, grocery day and by the time Braelyn and I made it to the store, it had already been a long day. Luckily, she's a pretty good shopper, so the trip itself wasn't bad, but the hours previous to that had been a little trying. Anyways, so I'm pushin' my cart around in little ol' HEB in Brenham and I see this...
Oh happy jar! It was the perfect, most unexpected little treasure...just what I needed. I literally laughed out loud and was practically hugging the jar. I'm sure people were questioning my mental health. I didn't care...I just found 5000 calories worth of happiness.

Then today, Braelyn got up at 5:15!!! Not a promising start to our day. Sure enough, nothing I did could make this girl happy, and I was too tired to try very hard. I was feeling grumpy at her and grumpy at myself and just grumpy all around. And then, this walks in...
How could I stay grumpy?
Ah...Thank you, Lord, for the little things! You know just what a mama needs!

I love La Mad's tomato basil soup...I meet a group of friends I attended school w/ at La Mad every couple of months.

Steph, that picture is too precious.

I hope you all get plenty of sleep tonight.

Blessings to you and your family.

Say what, sister????? Are you kidding me?

I guess you have to live in Brenham to appreciate that jar of goodness. That is awesome. I haven't seen that yet.

I'm glad you warned me thus to prevent my crazy self from doing the cotton-eyed joe smack dab in the middle of HEB!

Have a blessed day!

Braelyn is SO precious! I love that little girl, even if she doesn't quite return the affections yet :] And I love La Madeline! I think we should definitely make a trip sometime after I move in!

Love
