I have been having a bad day for the past few days and been really discouraged about a few different things. So I decided it might be good to make a list of all the things that make me happy. Very "self-help" of me, I know! So here we go....
There are of course the obvious ones, my husband, kids, and family, the gospel...so I'll get a little more specific.
I love.....
~Fresh clean sheets on my bed
~Talking on the phone to a friend or my sister or mom
~Going out to eat, then I don't have to clean up! :)
~Springtime, because its not to hot, but not cold either
~Gerbera Daisey's
~Red things, especially red things that I can decorate my house with
~Scrapbooking, totally a stress relieaver for me
~Hearing my kids sing, even if it's the wrong words to the song
~Laughing at a great story someone is telling me
~Finding something that I really want on sale for a steal!
~Conner's crazy curly hair!
~my cricut
~hot fudge sundaes
~pork tacos from Cafe Rio
~Going to Costco and getting everything on my list for under $100 (that is a challege!)
~"Washing machine" kisses from Conner (those are a bit slobbery!)
~"sticky" kisses from Brayden (that is a game we have where we kiss each other with "super sticky" kisses, that way they won't come off!)
~Back scratches from Patrick
~Hearing Conner say in his prayer to "please bless Jesus"
~Listening to Brayden as he tells me what he has learned in preschool or primary that day
~my kitchen sink when it has all the dishes out of it
~cleared off counter tops
~getting a call in the middle of the day from Patrick just to say "hi and I love you"
~new episodes of Grey's Anatomy (hopfully coming back soon!)
~Pedicures
~Cherry Sprite from Sonic during happy hour, so it is only half price :)
~finding pants that are long enough for my freakishlly long legs
~being in my pj's
~Watching my babies grow up
~going on trips
~my new (kinda I got it in September) bed
~my Scentsy
~Seeing family members who live far away

Okay, I posted a blog just a few minutes ago...no I don't expect that you are up in the middle of the night waiting for me to post so that you can read it, but I blogged about a really funny children's book, Help Me, Mr. Mutt, and you will giggle/laugh out loud if you read it! Would I lie to you Melissa? No, I wouldn't. Besides, I'm a librarian so I know all the good books. ;)
I Have days like that too....and I think making a list like yours is such a great idea! I second the clorox wipes....LOVE them plus many of the other things on your list! You are too cute! I hope you are cheered up! Love ya!
Really good list-what's with those kind of days- I think we all get into a funk like that sometimes-hope the list helps to bring you out of it
Love the list, good reminder. My life has been kinda crappy lately too... maybe I'll have to do up a list like this on mine!
Hey I have those days all the time, and my hubby just thinks it's a bad case of PMS! Somedays, the energy is gone, you could care less about a clean house and you let your children eat whatever they want!
It is a great way to look at the positive. It can always make things better. You can always find the negative if you are looking, but it takes more effort to see the positive when you aren't in tune!
Loved the post mel!
