Life is looking up! (Originally posted on Friday, June 29, 2007)

I seem to only write when I'm down (with one or two exceptions of course)...and I, for one, am tired of that and (for now at least) I say enough!!!

Today, I am thankful and greatful and hopeful and just happy in general and I thought I'd share.

My morning started off with my youngest giving me kisses before she left with her dad for daycare...then she waved and said "bye-bye mommy" in that way that way only a almost 2 year old can. You see, when she wakes up early enough for her dad to take her it puts her in the BEST MOOD, but she still won't leave with him for daycare until she says good morning and bye to me as well. Well, after saying good-bye to the dynamic duo, I get myself up and start getting ready for work. My oldest is still asleep, so I have a little bit of time to myself in the quiet of the morning, which keeps me sane. After I finish getting dressed, I go to wake up my son, who is ready, and I do mean ready, for his summer camp activity today as all Fridays, regardless of the week's theme, is WATER DAY!!! He double checks..."Mom is it water day today...is it Friday?" "Yes" Gleeful maddness insues as he quickly gets everything packed up for the day.

I finish getting ready and go to get him breakfast, and unbeknowst to me he's fixed himself breakfast! AND he didn't make a mess!!! Wow! When did he get soooooo big??? We both finish up getting ready and we're off.

Drop him off at camp...I'm off to work and low and behold a 1st floor parking spot! Now I'm scheduled for well after most normal business hours begin so this never happens, and is a much welcomed surprise.

Work is work, but after much stress the past few months...I survived the job cuts , my mother-in-law is on new chemo and it isn't nearly as harsh on her system as the other treatment...plus she's much stronger and healthier, my sister is slowly feeling better so I worry about her a little less and my husband just sent me an email for no reason other than to check up on me.

Let's see, other reasons I'm happy, it's FINALLY going to rain here, it's almost the weekend, my vacation starts really soon, and my youngest is about to turn 2 very soon!

Could things be better??? Of course they could, but are they bad???? HECK NO! And dadgummit I choose to be happy!
