Too purty to live in town.....

Happy Friday
Joe got his report card yesterday. All A's and one B+ again. Good for him. I'm so proud of him.

Last night was karate promotions. Joe and two other students were testing for orange belt. Nobody promoted to orange. They didn't know one of the required katas well enough. Next promotion is in 3 months. Hopefully he'll know it well enough then.

The best news of all is that I didn't have to spank Joe this am. He got up, did what I asked him to do. He was also very affectionate this am, lots of hugs. He's quite affectionate in the mornings. As the day goes on, he doesn't want a lot of lovey, but in the mornings, his hugs are wonderful. I'd much rather begin a day with hugs than with spankings.

I don't feel as down as I have the past couple days, then again it's only 8:10 am...lol we'll see as the day goes on....Granted, I'm not all rainbows and sunshine yet, but I'm not really down either. I guess you'd call it neutral, or maybe recovering from down days. I still feel kinda wrung out, but not to the point where I want to knock the snot out of something. I just need some down time where I don't have to make any decisions, or think real hard. Hopefully I'll get that this weekend and things will get back to a relative state of normal.

My quote for today is: Courage doesn't roar. It's that quiet voice at the end of the day that whispers, "I will begin again tomorrow."
