I am ridiculously happy.
My backyard smells like honeysuckle and there is nothing, save the smell of my children after a bath, that smells as delicious as honeysuckle. My husband cut the grass this weekend. Our yard looks tidy and smells like heaven. This afternoon Aubrey, my six-year-old, made snacks for her two younger sisters and took them outside to play while I folded clothes in the laundry room that overlooks their playhouse.
I have clean, crisp sheets on my bed.
Hubs did our taxes last night and we are getting money back. (WOOT!)
I sent my edited manuscript to my agent yesterday and all of my freelance assignments are up to date.
And I just spent 45 minutes, okay fine, a full hour, rocking my two-year-old to sleep. Sadie is the squishiest, sweetest baby on the planet. She curled up against me while we listened to Allison Krauss via Pandora on my iPhone and I sang along. Every once in awhile she would sing with me, or lean up to kiss me or say, “Dat’s MY mommy,” and pat me on the shoulder.
“Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles starting playing on my phone and Sadie said, “OH! Dat’s my pay-bor-it song, Momma!”
Sometimes, it’s the little things in life that make you happy and I’m thankful to have so many little things piling up around me at once.
Tonight I’ll be sleeping in clean sheets with a fresh sprig of honeysuckle on my night table and this makes me ridiculously happy.
What is something simple that makes you ridiculously happy?
Seeing you this happy and appreciative is a biggie for me …
….. but I am also high on honeysuckle.

HAHAHAHA! It smells sooooo good!
Sleeping in and not having to go anywhere until 9:00…that means spending the morning watching my baby eat breakfast, make a mess with Easter eggs, watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for the millionth time, and doing a puzzle with him instead of trying to get everyone out the door by 6:45. Have I mentioned that I love Spring Break?
B THAT makes me so happy. Wanna know what makes me EVEN happier! TWO WEEKS until Lucy gets here and you get to do that everyday!!!!!!!
PS You have been pregnant forEVER!
Our honeysuckle is blooming and as the wind blew last night, my entire yard was filled with that wonderful aroma.
YUMMY! That may be the best thing in the world: a spring breeze and the scent of honeysuckle!
Well, I don’t have a baby yet, but it does make me happy rocking one to sleep
Other things that make me “ridiculously happy” include:
1. a clean house
2. fresh flowers on the table
3. a successful attempt at a new recipe
4. acing a test
5. reading quietly in the sun, preferably with the ocean in front of me
Oh reading on the beach. Is there a happier place in this world?? *sigh* Also hoping you and I end up in the same state at some point this summer! You aren’t going home for Easter are you?
I love to clip a flower off my gardenia bush on my way out in the morning and carry in my purse so i get to smell it ALL day long.
LOOOOOVE gardenias!
