Much Needed Lovin'

This week has been quite a week. Things at work are really getting under my skin and causing me to be in a bad mood. To top it off the scabs from my tonsillectomy (that I had 2 weeks ago) still haven't fallen off so my throat is still slightly bothering me. Today, though, I received some lovin' from a very special little girl in my life, which made my week 100% better. The little girl is my 3-year-old "niece", Autumn. She used to pretty much despise me and never wanted anything to do with me. *Heartbreak* Back in June she became an older sister and now she loves to be around me. When I visit her and her family she sits with me on the couch and we talk and color. When Autumn and her mom drive through Lusk Autumn used to say, "Aunt Wook lives here and she has two snakes." Now she says, "Aunt Wook lives here, she has two snakes, and I love her." Yay!! :) I love feeling her arms wrapped around my neck when she gives me hugs. I love to see the excitement on her face when she sees me. I love the way she gives me big kisses. I have a few "nieces" and a "nephew" and anytime any of them give me lovin' it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside and it totally brightens my day/week/year! There's just something about children's hugs, kisses, and smiles...
