Happy thoughts

I've had a pretty crappy week or so and I was going to get on here and whine about it, but then I figured what good would that do me. So for my own good I'm going to post the things that made me happy in the past week.


  • Tracen snuggled in bed with me this morning and gave me big slobbery kisses.
  • He also slept through the night last night and I finally got some sleep...though the lack of sleep was not his fault, I'd been up for 31 hours.
  • Tyler gave me big hugs last night and yesterday.
  • Jesse likes to hang out with me at home
  • Tyler and Jesse were very good on Tuesday and helped me with Tracen all day so that I could sleep since I had to go back to work that night. Thanks guys.
  • Josh let's me cry to him, yell to him (as opposed to at him) tries to make me feel better.
  • Josh is also an awesome dad, he's pretty good at Mr. Mom. He took the boys up to the cabin this weekend while I worked, then he took them to their last two baseball games. He also made sure they did their jobs and practiced their piano, he did all the laundry and helped clean up the house while I was working 4 nights in a row.
  • I helped a sick baby at work the other night.
  • My new trees that I planted last week are sprouting leaves already!
  • There are things growing in my garden...and they're things I want to grow. Onions, peas, beans, radishes, tons of tomatoes, sunflowers, pumpkins, watermelon, cucumbers, squash, canteloupe, eggplant and carrots. The potatoes aren't going to work out this year and my corn hasn't sprouted yet, but we're on our way to a lot of yummy food and canning/freezing in the fall.
  • I have fun at work and like my co-workers, even if they give me crap and tease me for one of those things that started out my crappy week.
  • I'm taking the kids to the pool today. It's been awhile since we've gone.
  • The boys did their chores this morning and practiced their piano.
  • I have the next 14 days off!
