–When the checker at Costco says, “Do you have any coupons?” and I say no, and she checks to see if there are any coupons for what I just bought, and sure enough, something beeps, and she says, “Well, you saved $3 on something.”<\/p>\n

–Book Club. For 15+ years, we’ve held book club once a month, thanks largely in part to my especially organized and fabulous dear friend Melinda<\/a>. We get together and talk about the book, our lives, our best tips and finds, and we eat something yummy. It’s a wonderful way to stay in touch with friends, and to add a little extra happy to my life. And tonight is my turn to host said book club. <\/p>\n

–Sugar and all things made of sugar. Hence, giving up sugar for Lent is especially hard for me. But since I realize how much I am addicted to sugar, it makes me want to get it out of my system even more. Because I recognize that when I’m stressed, angry at the kids, rushed, bored, or basically ANY emotion, I eat something sweet. I experience the sugar instead of dealing with the emotion. I’m on day 2 of my sugar fast and I miss my sugar. Especially when I’m preparing dessert for the book club mentioned above.<\/p>\n

–Volunteering at school. Well, I don’t always love it, but I love that I am now able to do it. And I love that other moms also help out, and I want to do my part as well. Thursdays are my volunteer day at the school, and sometimes I’m there for one hour, sometimes I’m there for three hours. It makes me feel good when I do help at the school.<\/p>\n

–My family. And this guy.

Sometimes we fall down and can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get back up
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re hiding behind skin that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s too tough
\nHow come we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t say I love you enough
\nTill it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s too late, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not too late<\/p>\n

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t come
\nWe could make a feast from these crumbs
\nAnd we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all staring down the barrel of a gun
\nSo if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done<\/p>\n

Yeah, gotta start
\nLooking at the hand of the time we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been given here
\nThis is all we got and we gotta start thinkin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 it
\nEvery second counts on a clock that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tickin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122
\nGotta live like we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re dying
\nWe only got 86 400 seconds in a day
\nTo turn it all around or throw it all away
\nWe gotta tell \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcem that we love \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcem while we got the chance to say,
\nGotta live like we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re dying<\/p>\n

And if you plane fell out of the skies
\nWho would you call with your last goodbyes
\nShould be so careful who we live out of our lives
\nSo when we long for absolution, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be no one on the line<\/p>\n

You never know a good thing until it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gone
\nyou never see a crash until its head on
\nAll these people right when we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re dead wrong,
\nYou never know a good thing till it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gone<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
