Day 24 & 25: The Better to Slap You With, My Dear
The past couple of days have been a hodgepodge of #AdamsActs. I manhandled the post lady into letting me leave a book of stamps at the counter for anyone who might need a stamp. She kept saying that she didn't think she could do that, and I kept saying that I believed in her and that I
knew she could do it. Eventually I said "Thank you, bye! Pay it forward!" And skipped out in the midst of her protests.
Before
I also gave my mother-in-law a free haircut, which I always do, but when you devote a whole month to kindnesses, you count all the usual stuff too!
Before I de-mudflapped her...
And after
So. Now that my mother-in-law looks younger than me, let us move on to the rest of the family.
Annalee volunteered our crafting skills to make a Hallowern costume for her teacher's baby.
Marlie had to dress as a storybook character for school. She chose to be Little Red Ridinghood and brought a basket of apples to deliver to teachers and bus drivers. (Though I think her greater act of kindness was looking this adorable in her costume.)
As evidenced above, Tom is very aggressive about his kindness. And he thanks you for your continued prayers for his rage problem.
I am in a particularly busy season of life, and in Tom's words have "run myself down to the point of being sick." So now, I can wheeze every time I breathe and bark like a seal every time I cough. I have felt miserable all day and for Tom's #AdamsActs, he has banished me to my bed to rest. I am not the best at staying in bed or being a patient, but he has been quite insistent.
