Counting My Happy...

Slept 12 hours last night - cannot remember when that happened last. So today, I am loving the world and everything pleases me. Here's my happy list, so far:


1. Falling asleep with a boy tucked under each arm.
2. Waking up this morning with a boy tucked under one arm and the other draped over my head.
3. Open windows/open doors.
4. Frogs singing.
5. We all slept so soundly, my bed practically made itself.
6. Pee that makes the potty.
7. Broccoli salad.
8. Working out with the Reds. Matthew takes it very seriously and how I love him for it.
9. Daffodils.
10. Getting my hair cut/brows waxed.
11. Bare feet on hardwood.
12. Coffee, made by someone other than me.
13. New books.
14. Blog comments.
15. Opening a new bottle of washing up liquid.
16. Actually printing photos instead of saving them on my hard-drive. Bonus happy for cute frames from the dollar store.
17. Crock pot suppers.
18. Twitter peeps.
19. Cozy blankets, folded over the arm of the couch.
20. Random love from the Reds.


And you? What makes you happy?

    I LOVE the visuals, Bec. Peaceful, all. And that your stretchy pants don't need to stretch so far? AWESOME. Go, you!

  9. Burning 560 calories during step class.

    Not having a diaper change during step class.

    Still having enough time to shave my legs and take a hot shower before 2 hrs of gym child care is up.

    Enjoying uncharacteristic gorgeous and cool weather for this time of year with open windows.

    Popping open an ice cold can of Mountain Dew and taking first sip.

    Letting a piece of chocolate melt in my mouth.

    The wet kiss my daughter plants on my cheek.

  10. Ooohhhh, Dances - those are good! I am envious of your gym showering. I go to the Y and the showers are group. No curtains. Meep!

    Mountain Dew (from the States. It's different here. True story) and kid kisses = bliss.

    Thanks for listing your happy!
