Things that make me happy.....

So the other day I guess I was being overly happy (whatever that is) according to Brian and he was like, "why are you in such a good mood? You're never this happy, you're always like, "I hate my life. I need to get away." So I was kind of caught off and looking back, I wouldn't say anyone would say I'm a happy person. Not that I'm unhappy, but if someone asked, "do you think Michelle is a happy person", I'd be willing to venture that most people would say no. You know, there are some people you just look at and say, "now there's a happy person". I've often felt those people were a little too cheery or cheesy for my liking, but why wouldn't you want to be one of those people? Anyway, so everyone has been sending these "tagged" things around and I typically think they are a waste of time, well, for me anyway. I enjoy reading them, just not doing them, but I thought I should do something that lets most people know I am a happy person, it just might not show. So here are 10 things that make me happy....

1. Looking at a picture of me and thinking "hey, I actually like the way I look in that one".

2. Seeing the pounds drop on my scale, even if it's only .8 lbs

Yes, there are other things besides shallow weight things that make me happy......

3. When Caroline says "thanks Mommy" in her throaty deep voice

4. When I put the kids to bed and they stay there

5. A sweet cream mixed with raspberries in a sugar cone ice cream from Cold Stone

6. When Brian takes me on a date and plans it all, including the babysitter

7. When I see the girls playing together and hugging eachother and saying how they love eachother

8. Taking a trip anywhere really. Love Mexico, anywhere with a beach and a chance to relax

9. Having no credit card debt (actually, I can't remember what that feels like, but I have the hope of feeling that one again!)

10. A really good romantic comedy

11. When I feel like I'm in a romantic comedy with Bri :)

12. An unexpected sign of affection or thoughtfulness

13. When my kids are sweet and kind to everyone and tell me they love me

14. Seeing the kids do something sweet for someone else

15. Taking a great picture or capturing the perfect moment on film (or digital media)

16. Sleeping through the whole night and not waking up

17. A day alone

18. Doing something fun with the kids and watching their expressions

19. Date night

20. Spring

21. Summer nights

22. Lack of snow!!!
