20 things that have made me Happy this week

1) Sending off a deposit to a local CSA for the coming season's bounty
2) Meeting and purchasing chicken from another local CSA farmer
3) A moon so full it made our yard look as if there was a blue neon light over the house
4) Jack hearing Josh Groban on the cd player this morning and saying, "That's daddy!"
5) Fitting into my non-maternity jeans for the first time in 4 months
6) Corresponding with my cousin-in-law, mommy-to-be, about the wonders of babywearing and breastfeeding
7) Doubling the running page count on my last dissertation chapter
8) Enjoying a hot cup of coffee and some homemade peppermint meltaways on my "Free Day"
9) Having friends over for dinner two nights in a row, and enjoying much needed and missed adult conversation
10) Reading the CaringBridge updates from my sister-in-law, who is undergoing cancer treatment for the second time
11) A mother-in-law who agrees to rearrange her work schedule whenever needed to help take care of the boys when we have problems finding a sitter
12) Eating Little Ceasar's pizza for the first time in over a decade
13) Feeling so thankful for a husband that will use a week of his meager vacation time to stay home with 3 kids while I wile away in the basement with the computer and a few books
14) Knowing spring is just 2 months away...
15) Gavin's 4-month "birthday", Holden's 1-month "birthday", and Sarah's actual birthday
16) Seeing calve muscles while shaving in the shower
17) Hearing my boys have an "I love you" screaming contest
18) Waking up next to the most beautiful, peaceful sleeping baby in the universe
19) Taking Benjamin to a music class for some special mommy&middle child time
20) Feeling balanced for the first time in a long time

What an awesome list!! Good for you on so many of those things! You have made me stop and think what I would put on my own list. Hmmm. . . I'll have to think a little longer.
