OK, so many people like to write about things that are pet peeves or make them mad or angry or irritated or just plain grinds their gears, but I thought i'd change it up a bit and post about things that have made me happy this week. Now, this for me is a little bit of a struggle, not because i'm and evil witch who doesn't appreciate anything, but because I tend to be a little more on the negative side sometimes, (i'm not proud of it) and i'm trying to change that aspect about myself. So I thought I would accept a bit of a challenge (not to challenging though) and let you all know about some things that are making me happy this week...Who knows? Maybe this will become a weekly blog post for me! What do you guys think?
Anyways, Let's get started.
1. The number one thing that makes me happy this week is getting to spend time with my family. That is not always easy in our household because my husband and I work opposite schedules which can be tough at times but we make it work as most married couples do.
2. Getting to have a little bit of extra sleep. So my husband takes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes in the mornings every Tuesday-Thursday, and they are EARLY classes. I mean we have to get up at 5:45 A.M. just to TRY and leave the house on time. Now when I say it's a challenge for me to get up that early, it's not because i'm lazy....it's because I just got off of my shift at work at 1:30 AM and I have a half an hour drive home, so by the time I get home and get settled down to get into bed (if the baby isn't already up) it's probably around 2:30 or 3 AM and so I only get about two and a half to three hours of sleep before we have to get up and leave. So with all that said, CJ and I "sadly" overslept Tuesday morning and I got a few extra MUCH NEEDED hours of sleep! Sorry honey, I love you but I needed that sleep :)
3. Knowing that my oldest son is having a good time at his fathers house. This to me is a blessing because it's hard enough for me to spend a lot of time and distance from my son, but the fact that I know he is being taken care of and he is safe and having an awesome time with his dad and his other family just makes it a lot easier for me to cope with.
4. It's a bit materialistic, but I am so thankful for my younger son's new stroller/car seat combo. I mean this thing is awesome. I took him for a walk in it the other day and he just loved it. It makes him so calm and I can just tell he enjoys our little walks together.
5. Continuing from number four, I am thankful to be able to take my son for walks. It's nice to be able to live in a place where we can come and go as we please. I am so thankful for that and I will never take it for granted.
6. My laptop came in the mail finally. If you haven't already read my blog post about this topic then you should. I have waited almost an entire month for this thing to come in the mail and after getting the runaround from the company, it finally made it's little way to my doorstep!
Well, there you have it. These are some of the things that have made me happy this week. I hope you enjoyed them and please feel free to leave comments and let me know what made you happy this week.
