It’s Wednesday! That means it’s time for you to tell me something good. Tell me one moment (big or small) that put a smile on your face. Let’s spread some positivity!
MacKay is out of town for the week for work and while we miss him when he’s gone, I do love the quiet evenings. When MacKay leaves for work trips, I always go in with the mind set that this is valuable time I get with the kids rather than dwelling on the fact that I am doing all of the responsibilities on my own. It’s easy to get down on ourselves and frustrated when doing everything by ourselves, especially when the days seem to drag on forever and nothing goes your way.
Last night, after putting the kids to bed early (because they went to bed too late the night before making them quite cranky all day yesterday,) I enjoyed a quiet house, ordered some sushi, and sat and watched mindless television while catching up on work. As I was getting ready for bed I went into the girls’ room to kiss them goodnight as I always do. As soon as I walked in, Har popped up from her bed and looked at me. She’d been sleeping but heard me come in so checked to see what I was doing. I asked her if she wanted to come in my bed and sleep with me for the night and she quickly obliged.
As we got in the bed together, she leans over to me and tells me she loves me and gives me the biggest kiss. As she gets older, those moments are becoming few and far between, so I really take it in when she does do that without me asking for it.
She squirmed and kicked me all night, but it felt good to have her sleeping next to me. I treasure moments like that.
Now tell me something good. Something that’s made you happy. It can be big, it can be small, just something that has put a smile on your face. You can participate by sharing a photo on Wednesday with the hashtag #WhyImHappyWednesday and tagging me @amommyinthecity or feel free to write it in the comments below. I do read them all and am happy to reply back on your good news! You can also join in the conversation on my Facebook page!
