Have you Ever?

Don't get all worked up about these beautiful flowers. I wish I could say that they came from someone special, but sadly they didn't. It was more like this:

I had to go to Costco to buy treats for school. My basket was loaded with things like goldfish crackers, m&m's, cheez-its, gummy bears, animal crackers and nilla wafers. Oh ya, and a really really great rug for my classroom that I found for a mere $24. 95! So, I was walking up and down the aisles, thinking to myself, "School is starting again, and I need a pick me up that doesn't have anything to do with easing little children's hunger pains 10x a day for the first two weeks of school." (Honestly, I feel like I am just a robot those first few weeks when I am asked starting at 8:31 am: "Teacher when is lunch?" Yes, they are hungry that early....and the hunger continues all day!)

Anyway, as I am pushing my cart down aisles packed with mothers who have diapers, wipes and applesauce, and bachelors who have their year supply of Pringles Take-Alongs and toilet-paper I spotted a little greenery among the grey I was feeling! These beauties were just shouting my name. However, inside I was having an argument with my self. "You don't buy yourself flowers." my self was saying. I fought right past myself and put those flowers right into my cart. I couldn't wait to come home and put them in a vase on my table. I knew that I had those place-mats that matched just perfectly.


So, while buying yourself flowers might be just a little bit crazy, it sure did make me feel great and I love looking at them!
