Things that make you happy...

When your child has woken you for the third time in the middle of the night... then you look at the clock and realize it is 2:00 am so you still have four and a half more hours to sleep.

When you are in the bathroom trying to do something with your hair, and resigning yourself to a bad hair day, and you hear a series of thumps, a crash, and a loud scream and realize that your three year old has just fallen down the entire flight of stairs because she was trying to walk in your high heeled shoes... then you pick her up and determine that she is scared, but not at all hurt, even though she is trying to con you into giving her a popsicle for all her imagined boo-boos.

When you run into Starbucks even though you are late for your 9:30 am meeting- because after a much-interrupted night, you desperately need a cup of coffee to stay awake through said meeting- but after getting your coffee you reach into your purse and realize that you forgot your wallet at home... then they give you the coffee anyway.



And one final random happy thought:
When you sit on the toilet in a public restroom you realize that there is no more toilet paper in the dispenser, and the bathroom is empty so you can't ask for help... Then you look over and realize that the person who just vacated the stall to your right left the t.p. hanging low enough that you don't even have to stretch to reach your arm under the stall and tear some.
