Something So Simple as a Smile.....

What a couple of crazy days I have had, Today was the last day that I worked two jobs, going from the Nook from 10-2 to WM from 3:30-11. I am so tired and so glad I dont have to be doing that again, I dont know how people go from one Job to the next like that....
In other news, Jake had a game tonight, which I was going to be able to go to no problem, I was going to be off work at 6, and go to the game. Well at 5:15 My Asst Manager asked me if I could stay to train one of the new girls, I said I would, BUT Jake had already left the house for the game, So I couldnt call him to tell him that I wasnt going to be there.... And all I could think about was Jake looking for me the whole game.... And I knew that he would, cause he likes it when I am there. So I told one of the other managers the situation and asked if I could take an 1.5 hour long break so I could go see some of the game, She said yes, so I did. And I am so happy I did! When Jake found me in the stands ( and I was sitting on the other teams side with a friend from that team) He smiled at me and gave me a nod.. and a wave with the glove. My friend thought that was so sweet, she said her son would never do that... I saw Jake up at bat twice, having a walk, with two stolen bases, and scoring on that, then A RBI single. I left right after that and went back to work, They won the game 14-2. And as I was driving back to work all I could think about was the smile on his face when he had his RBI single ( at that point it was the tying run) and how glad I was that I saw it.. .it made my day, and I love that something so simple as a smile from your son, not even directed at you, can make your day.....
