Ten things that make me happy

  1. Fallie rubbing my back last night and putting her arm around me
  2. Helping the girl children make their Halloween costumes and the fact that Finn is already planning next year’s costume
  3. Mumblelard is coming home today
  4. Having too many books to read and sometimes the time to read (for several years after the girls were born, I was unable to read much more than magazines due to lack of free time and lack of sleep)
  5. I finished two sewing projects that I had been procrastinating 
  6. The weather is getting nicer (you may think that something is wrong with me because I love cold & dreary with gray skies)
  7. We are carving Jack O’Lanterns tomorrow (they would have been mush by now if we had carved them earlier this week because it was so hot) and even the girls know that you have to scoop out the guts of your own pumpkin
  8. I braided the girls’ hair last night to make it wavy today for an early Halloween party (Finn will be Hermione and Fallie a classic pirate but this is not what they are dressing up for on the real Halloween!)
  9. I am hoping to get some cough medicine from my doctor today because I have been coughing for sixteen days and am not getting better 
  10. The girls have to go to the doctor appointment with me and I know that they will sit quietly in the waiting room, reading, like the little nerds they are
