Things that made me smile today in no particular order:
1. Receiving beautiful flowers from my dad.
2. My mom bustling around this house and her big smile when she checks on me.
3. Budah keeping an eye on his three sisters so that maw-maw could take a quick nap and picking up the living room on his own.
4. Bunny’s excitement showing me the things she learned at cheerleading practice.
5. Daddy helping Buggie get ready to bring her to ballet & tap class. We won’t talk about the struggle of getting those tights on straight!
6. Bitty sneaking past maw-maw to get in our bedroom, how quickly and carefully she climbed up to snuggled with me, and then looked up with a big proud smile.
7. Funny things my friends have sent or said to me to brighten my day.
8. My husband telling me he doesn’t know how I make being a SAHM look so easy.
9. Najah being near by and keeping an eye on his mama.
10. My monsters excitement when they realized we have been “BOO’d” by a neighbor!
11. Good progress reports from my monsters’ schools.
12. Bitty screaming mama through the house.
13. Listening to my husband give our crazy toddler a bath and trying to catch her to put clothes on her.
14. Hearing maw-maw give Bunny a hand with homework. Including the homework she suddenly remembered she had after bedtime:/
15. Budah calling to check on me while he is out with friends and not being embarrassed to tell me he loves me in front of them.
16. Buggie opting to hang out with me instead of going along for the ride to get her brother from work. Maybe I am the bees knees even when I am boring and stuck on bed rest?
17. My monsters laughter and even hearing their random bickering. I guess this part makes them normal right?
18. Bitty’s soft little snore while she sleeps next to me.
19. Listening to the wind chimes on our back porch.
20. All of the hugs & kisses I have received.
21. Reading books with my monsters and them reading them to me.
22. My dearest friends knowing they can confide in me about anything no matter what I have going on.
23. Getting a call from my B-Boo when I know how busy her days have been.
24. My hubster only working a half day so that he could be here to help with our chaotic household.
25. Hearing our blender kick on and knowing my love is making me my fave smoothie.
26. Possibly sneaking m&m’s to my monsters before they had dinner! (Hope my Hubster isn’t reading this now! ha ha)
Instead of focusing on being stuck in this bed and stressing myself over things I can’t control, I’d rather focus on all of the love and happiness I am blessed with. It’s been a lovely day!
