Life Is Good

You can tell that things are going along pretty well when...

Your ten year old daughter wakes up singing and humming, falls asleep singing and humming and can often be heard singing and humming in the hours in between.

Your ten year old son has decided on his own that brushing teeth is a good thing! You pat yourself on the back when he wakes up out of a sound sleep and yells down to you that he forgot to brush. You can hardly beat the thrill of hearing him run to the bathroom, the water turn on, the sweet sound of his electric toothbrush doing its job.

Your one year old can now use the word "up" when she wants to be held. The number of times she pulls on your leg while crying or grunting is beginning to decrease.

You look at your calendar and realize that you have lunch with a new friend, a girls' night out with your life long BFFs and a dinner date with some of your favorite neighborhood friends all in the same week!

This is the view you get from your kitchen window...

You tuck yourself in bed with a good book at 9:00. Your husband skips Sports Center and joins you.

You curl up next to him,
close your eyes
and think of all the ways that ....

life is good.
