Happy Days (05/30)

Today I am definitely happy about the beautiful weather we're finally getting here!

The day started with excitement about the twins playing outside and in their pool. However, after I washed it and had it prepared to fill, I noticed a hole in it. I didn't let it bring me down though. Off to Wal-mart and $10 later, the twins were dipping their feet in the pool.

They screamed with excitement as they slowly edged closer to sitting down. Running the grass, then back in the pool. On their tricycles, back in the pool. It was just a fantastic day :)

What made your day today?

Keep Bronson in Your Thoughts (Happy Days 05/26)

This is a little late as it was supposed to be posted last night. Oops.

Yesterday there were a lot of things that happened to make me "happy." However there was one thing in particular, that made me so grateful and yet so sad all at once. I read a blog posting about a special little boy named Bronson, who at 4 days old was diagnosed with a rare cancer and is fighting for his life at Sick Kids Hospital.

The posting made me grateful for my healthy twins, but sad for this family and baby Bronson. They are all so strong for everything they have been through thus far. Children, especially should not have to encounter everything this baby has and he is less than one month old.

I hope you will check out Bronson's Journey and keep him and his family in your thoughts, I know they are in mine.

Keep fighting Bronson!

Happy Days (05/25)

Today's happy moment would have to be when the twins referred to their fish sticks as chicken!! This is a new thing for them, but it seems to be working. The first time they tried them as fish sticks, they didn't eat them.

Laura watched me put them in the oven and screamed "chicken." I thought hmm... I'm going to try this. "Yes, chicken. Yummy!" It worked because here we are a couple of "chicken" stick dinners later and they love them.

Yay, for "chicken" sticks.

Happy Days (05/24)

Today was definitely one of those days when I needed to find the positive to make me happy. Mid-afternoon I thought it was going to be when I woke the twins up from their nap, they just looked like angels. Of course I had to take a moment to really admire them before I woke them up, soaking up every ounce of their cuteness.

However, my heart melted tonight when I put them down to bed. Before I closed their door I said "I love you" like I do every night. Only this time I heard in a beautiful little voice, Laura say "love you."

Moments like that can't help but make me happy regardless of how bad your day is!

What made you happy today?

Happy Days

As we all know, life can be stressful. Between finances, children, employment, marriages and just plain life in general, it can sometimes be hard to stay positive.

Lately I have been trying to configure a plan to help my hubby and I get out of negative town. For us, whenever it seems like everything is about to be on the up and up, something comes crashing down. I am determined if you focus on the negative, then negative will be what you get.

So, recently I've decided to find something positive about every single day. Regardless of how bad the day might have been I will find the positive. I am probably driving my hubby nuts, but I now ask him everyday what his favorite part of the day was. Whether it be when the twins run to him when he gets home, their hug before bed, a great conversation he had at work, just something positive.

It's starting to work and I now want to share it with my readers. So everyday I am going to do my best to post a short blurb about what made me happy that day :) I welcome you to share your happiness as well.

Yesterday, on of my happiest parts of my day was when my hubby brought me a coffee mid-afternoon. I didn't ask for it, I hadn't even said I needed it, but trust me I did. That little gesture put a smile on my face.

What was the highlight of your day?

Happy Anniversary to Us!!

Today is a big day for my husband and I. It's not our wedding anniversary, but it is still a special day for us. A year ago today, we both officially quit smoking. It was one of the hardest things we have done and continue to do.

For anyone who has smoked, you know it can be a constant battle. My husband has told me he would buy a pack of cigarettes today if asked him to. However, I feel at this point we've come too far. Don't get me wrong, I still have cravings, days where I am highly irritated and would love a cigarette. Thing is, if I smoked the cigarette I would be so upset with myself and my stress would still be there. A cigarette wouldn't solve my problems but probably make them worse.

I am sure we will continue to have our struggles with quitting. But I know together we will succeed. Together we have been a success, for officially 1 year today!! And today we shall celebrate :)

Happy Anniversary to us!!

Thank Goodness Its Friday Blog Hop

It appears Blogger must have been sick with the same flu that has plagued my house over the last few days. Regardless TGIF Blog Hop is up, better late than never I suppose.

Because of the complications Blogger has had over the last couple of days, there's a good chance the linky won't make it up on all of the other sites. I still welcome everyone to link up and spread the word. After all, it is still Friday right (TGIF)!

Next week TGIF will again feature Kortney's Krazy Life and Let's talk about me as this week didn't go as planned for them. Be sure to hop by again next week for some new feature co-hosts as well.

TGIF!!!

Flu Season

Okay seriously the flu needs to LEAVE my house stat!! It started last Thursday with Laura refusing to eat her dinner, this is not normal in this house. If there's one thing the twins love to do, it's eat.

Friday morning, the twins wake up super early, but aren't exactly there energetic self. I give them breakfast and it begins. Laura comes running the kitchen while I'm doing dishes covered in her bran flakes. I've said enough, no details required. Fevers on and off all day, followed by diarrhea.

Finally that passes and..................

Today my hubby comes home from work with the flu! You know what that means. I am crossing my fingers it stops with him. My compassionate self has him quarantined in our bedroom and just may opt to sleep on the couch tonight.  All you SAHM out there know, we don't get sick days. Translation if it comes to me, I'll probably give it back to the twins and it will continue to circle. Once the twins go down the disinfecting will begin as well.
