About Me: Five things that make me happy RIGHT NOW.

In case you missed it, I recently started a little "About Me" series. I'm working through a list of things I want my kids to know about me. I thought it was sort of a cool getting-to-know-you project and would also be nice for this scrapbook that Reid will eventually look through.

Here's what I've done so far:

1. List 20 random facts about yourself

2. Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears

3. Describe your relationship with your spouse

4. List 10 things you would tell your 16 year-old self, if you could

5. What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?

• Drawing a line through items on my millions of lists.

• Exchanging smiles with Dac. It's the best reassurance in the midst of total chaos. Some days, that's really all the time together we get... a smile as we pass by each other. I've learned to not brush that off as nothing.

• Watching Reid learn something new then letting him stay up a bit too late while at a friend's house, just to have him fall asleep in the car, so when I get him out, he's all curled up and sleepy on my shoulder. It's a day-maker people. He normally doesn't hold still long enough for that.

• Having good conversation or just regular ol' everyday moments with loved ones.

• Cozying into a pair of sweat pants then sitting down for the first time all night, on the couch, with a snack (something of the pumpkin variety sounds nice today), and watching a TV show while it rains outside. =) Not to be picky or anything.
