Things that make me happy

A clean house. Not again. Still. It’s been like two weeks in a row. Yeah, I’m not really sure how that happened, either. It’s wonderful. And I’m getting to the point where if I see something out of place, it annoys me. Like I see a piece of paper on the end table right now. It doesn’t belong there. Why are you there, piece of paper? I must destroy you now.

Ballet costumes. Bug has a ballet recital in two weeks, and she got her costume on Thursday. So sweet! She’s going to be the cutest little witch in the show. And, bonus! It also doubles as her Halloween costume. Awesome.

Bloggy treats. Oh my goodness. I participated in my first swap and my partner got me the cutest stuff! I can't wait to show you everything later this week. Thank you, Forgetful One!



Text messages. I don’t text enough, but I am very much in love with the idea of texting. I got one today from my girlfriend that made me laugh out loud, which must have been very strange for my boss to see as he walked by. If you want to make my day, go ahead and send me a text message.

Sleep. I apparently have not been getting enough sleep, and I was really feeling the effects of it today at work. I am going to crash out tonight and sleep hard. I’m a pretty hard sleeper, anyway. The Agent makes fun of me, because he suffers from insomnia, so he is often up all night. I sleep through his tossing and turn. He says that the house could be on fire and I would sleep through it. And yet, through some miracle of motherhood, I am instantly awake the moment I hear one of the children whimper. Weird.

Potty training. OK, potty training does not actually make me happy. It sucks. I wish that someone would do it for me. But we started BK on big boy underwear today and he only had two accidents all day. I think that’s a great first day. And, I might add, both accidents were at daycare. No accidents at home. I feel this must mean I’m an awesome mother.

    Getting the kids potty trained will make you happy, that's for sure. I was convinced my oldest would NEVER actually do it but now he can wipe his own butt! That's magical. Happy Tuesday.

    The mommy radar comes installed with the first kid and never really goes away. My hubby calls them hyper ears.

    You are a wonderful mother! I love how you look at a piece of paper on your counter. I have plenty on mine that must be destroyed too if you are up for it. LOL
