-intending to just lay down for a second and next thing I know, it’s 15 minutes later and I have drool down my chin
-watching my kids hit a pinata. ok, maybe getting to hit one myself
-the thought of no school drop offs and pick ups
-mid week adult lunch dates
-unexpected surprises
-giving presents
-people who act like they don’t read my blog, but we all know they do
-daydreaming about our hawaiian vacation
-getting to schedule in a weekend getaway when gilt puts a hotel for 1/2 off
-the email notification that I have an e-book ready for checkout from the library
-walking by the boys’ room and seeing it complete
-watching plants grow from seeds in the compost where I never planted a plant
-my boys’ report card
-the kids saving up all their mom bucks and then redeeming them very thoughtfully and with a lot of preparation
-a slice of 10 grain homemade bread with sunflower seed butter first thing in the morning
-a late night trip to target
wow, I guess I’ve been smiling a lot lately.
