It's the little things

The last few weeks I've been trying to look on the bright side, you know, count my blessings.  And it's really tiny stuff like being able to button my pants again or getting ALL my laundry done ON laundry day that makes me happy.  The best one was when I was putting the kids to bed last night and The Monkey - who doesn't  hug or kiss me back at bedtime so really I end up just squeezing her head - actually wanted me to pat her back 'til she fell asleep.  It was super cute and made my heart melt.
