Little inspirations

I have to start by saying yes the paperwork saga continues...... oddly I was telling a friend today that I feel like I am in a scene from mission impossible....should you choose to accept this mission you must maintain your sanity prepare a family and house to move and pick up the dry cleaning by 2 make dinner by 5 drive kids to blah blah blah. Then after I make the dash and complete the task there is another flaming note waiting to explode and for me to go on the run again. Actually visualizing it makes me giggle. We managed to get into the school office ( hear the mission impossible theme song playing) get this ... My husband works with the former PTA president's husband he called her she called the principal who called me....... yes please fall over laughing at this point at how lame this has been I know I am laughing. Finally we get the school paperwork done.. it is sent to Germany so hopefully by tomorrow it will leave the wrong place in Germany for the right place..... keep your fingers crossed. No sooner had I arrived home when Sam was calling to tell me that now despite holding 3 identity cards, 2 sets of official paperwork....and passports ( the whole family) we actually have to get military passports. Yes Military passports which look identical to our passports .. apparently it serves as our visa for Germany. It takes 8 weeks to get.... unless the office pays a huge amount of money to have it expedited..... and it is there fault they were suppose to do that paperwork first. So tomorrow the next mission impossible meeting will happen ( cue music again)....... I'll keep you posted on my next mission impossible task :) hahahahahahah

Now on to the real reason for the post this evening :) I was driving home from the school office and I saw a woman walking her dogs. Nothing extraordinary, I smiled though maybe it was the sun shining maybe it was the time of day. I see this woman literally out everyday over her lunch every day rain or shine walking her 2 dogs. I smile because it makes me happy to think of her dedication to this her obvious enjoyment and pleasure. I even became inspired to think of more of these moments in my own life. Happiness and joy in the simple things in life that make our days better in small unsung ways. Good for her for getting out for her dedication. To all of you who do all of the ordinary things that need to be done rain or shine ! "They" always say happiness lies in the little things and as a detail person I like that !
