Joy is...

I'm feeling joyful today which is markedly better than the tired and grumpy of the last several days. I'm still tired but what Mom of young kids isn't? I'm always happy no matter what but today I am downright joyful! Here are some reasons why - joy is...

• Having Tracy home more this weekend than has been the norm lately.
• A good session of church yesterday. Tot slept through 2nd and 3rd hour like I like him to. Several things hit home for me and made me renew my goals.
• A crockpot Sunday dinner which also makes awesome leftovers for today - slow cooked beef roast made into homemade stroganoff. Yum!
• Swimming in the pool and relaxing in the hot, bubbly spa instead of making Sunday dinner.
• An invitation to dinner at a good friend's house tonight! Hooray! We can have leftovers for Tuesday night and I don't have to think about dinner until Wednesday!
• Some fun groceries in my kitchen. I hate same old, boring grocery supplies.
• Waking up to no more headache today after a long, 3 day run of constant, severe headache.
• The huge smiles that come from taking TMac to buy a new superhero costume with his own piggy bank savings. Rest assured there will be a separate post about that outing!
• Working on homemade birthday presents for Tracy with his little men.
• Really looking forward to a long overdue date night this Friday night!
• Looking forward to Super Saturday at church this Saturday with my gal pals.
• September - I love the hot days and cooler nights. The holidays are getting closer!
• The anticipation of Halloween and pumpkin patches.
• A fun swim in the pool with TMac just now.
• Time for a quick 15 minute nap since Tot is still napping - see ya!
