My mum started this with me when I was in grade school.

She told me I could tell her something bad about my day but for every bad thing I had to think of 2 good things.


Wanna play?

Bad thing
1) I hate wrapping, I really hate it, Im not good at it.

Good things
1) I got it all done and now I can focus on my Cookie exchange this weekend.
2) I had a sitter all lined up because I thought we had small groups tonight but they cancelled. My sitter still wants to watch the kids so I get a date night with DH in the middle of the week


Your turn!

1) A baked potato exploded in my oven tonight.

Good things:
1) It wasn't clean anyway.
