A little help from my friends

Things are looking up! Did you read my recent tale of woe? If so, then you know it's been a lousy couple of days. But the thing about having days like these is that they almost always end up with your friends rallying around. And what could be better than that? I had calls from my sister and my mom, hugs from my brother (aka Mr Fix-It), many kind comments from all of you (thanks!), and at least 12 messages of encouragement on my Facebook page! Last night, as I was getting ready for bed, I got a surprise phone call from my dearest friend Em (suffering from jetlag, she was up at some ungodly hour in France and knew I'd be awake still and in need of some cheering up after my weekend from hell!) It was such a nice surprise. We chatted away for ages, giggled about silly things, and I felt so much better after I hung up.

And then this morning, I arrived at work to discover this virtual daisy bouquet in my inbox! My lovely blogging friend Cassie sent it to me, along with a sweet little note. They make me think of that scene in You've Got Mail where Meg Ryan says, "Don't you think daisies are the friendliest flower?" They really are. And I have the friendliest friends, some that I've known forever and others I've never met. I'm a lucky girl.

PS: The boys are feeling way better. Still a bit tired and a wee bit whiny, but nothing we can't handle!
