Five Things That Make Me Smile

In honor of yesterday’s no more negativity post, I’m going to talk about some of the things make me smile.
- Yesterday I took the daughter in for her five year checkup. (Doc she’s absolutely perfect, FYI.) She had to pee in a cup, which meant me holding the cup under her while she did her business. While I was trying to get over the grossness, I learned that sometimes when she has trouble peeing, she tickles her belly button. Now, if you’ve never squatted in front of a toilet, holding a cup under your kid while she giggles from tickling her belly button–well, you just don’t know cute.
- I am obsessed with the Flax Seed. No, not the actual stuff, it tastes kind of oily. I am obsessed with saying Flax. Say it five times fast. See? It feels funny.
- My parents are coming home! They’ve been in Miami for the last couple of years, and I’ve missed them big time.
- Me–Treadmill–2 Weeks straight. Oh. Hell. Yeah.
- Back when I taught kindergarten, we used to have pajama day. (Just occasionally, as opposed to now–which is every day.) All the kids came in the cutest little jammies, except this one girl who borrowed a t-shirt from her dad:
When I called her mom to tell her it wasn’t exactly appropriate for school wear. She couldn’t understand why, because it’s not like the kids could read yet. Far be it from me to argue with that rock solid logic.
Adorable blog idea. Hope you won’t mind me ripping it off – I love the concept. There’s not enough of this!
@Ally, aw thanks! I don’t mind, not one bit!
Great list! My kids can usually make me smile. And if they can’t, a chocolate pie can. 🙂
What makes me smile? Getting emails from Totallythebomb.com of course!
@Angela Felsted, haha that makes ME smile, so it’s a twofer!
Two weeks straight on the treadmill! SWEET! You rock Jamie!
Things that make me smile? When my kids say something so unexpected that I can’t help but laugh. =)
Dang. I didn’t make the list. I guess I am number 6.
Just watched the Double Rainbow videos again. No negativity there. Just vivid intensity. And my laughter. OMG.
@Kristen, A-GREED. I don’t know if that guy was high or just having a good time. Either way, he made my day!
Thats too funny with Hal. Garrett beats on the top of his head like a ketchup bottle when he wants to poo faster! Took me forever to figure out what he was doing bc he started it before he could really talk well.
@Lisa, Man, I love me some Garrett!
I think I may ‘steal’ this blog idea. 🙂
1. My 3 year old yelling “Oh yea!” after he starts peeing. Cracks me up everytime!
2. Daily runs/workouts
3. Girly stuff I used to hate: massages, pedicures, skirts.
@Carin, HAHAH that’s pretty freakin’ adorable.
#1 is hillarious and cute! Yay for your parents coming home! And #4, whoo! You go girl, that is awesome!
@HeatherM, now, if I could just fix it so I have energy AFTER I get off that treadmill… growl.
