Stuff to smile about

[beaconhouse]

Most of the time things are fine.
Most of the time I plod along ok.
But sometimes, especially at the wrong time of the month I find it really hard being alone with three children. Not sure what goes wrong but right now so fed up of just working , looking after the boys and not having any spare money or spare time. Right now I am looking at another evening in front of me with no adult company to fill it. It's hard to see how it will change. As I say most of the time it's ok but every now and again fall into a little pit of self pity. So on the grounds that hearing good things from other people is great and hopefully happy feelings are catching I just wondered what sort of things have made people smile today?

Being able to go to the supermarket after work, let DD stand in the toy aisle for 10 minutes, and then buying all the stuff that we fancy eating over the next 4 days, without having to take anyone else into consideration

Priceless

My ds1 told me today how lovely and soft I am - made me laugh as I was just thinking I need to lose weight!
ds2 requested a sweetcorn sandwich for lunch and LOVED it.
dd telling me about her day, fascinating stuff today
Total despair this morning when I realised I have only £10 to last til next Tuesday... nearly fell into the self pity pit, but managed to 'live in the moment' (mostly) and not worry about it. I've got lots of boring food in the freezer after all.

My daughter telling me Im the best mummy ever cos i give the best cuddles :)

Being able to spend an hour on the phone to family without justifying the time or cost.
Then to come straight on here again without any justifications.

To put the radio on in the morning as loud as we want it, no pussy-footing around in case it wakes anyone up.

Eating cold sausages and coleslaw for tea!

Knowing the relationship I have with my DD gives me so much joy and is way beyond anything I would have with a man. Man or children? No contest. That said, it's been over a year now and wouldn't mind a fumble :o
