Happiness Is...

I have had a rotten two weeks since I posted. I was bogged down at work with report cards, parent teacher interviews and a lunch my class hosted for the entire school. DS2 has been sick. My dad was in ER/hospital, DH was in ER for extreme chest pains, DS1 was in ER with a sports injury and I have an undetermined illness that I have been waiting for 2 weeks to get into the dr for a 'short visit'. Let's just say I will end up needing a colonoscopy. Why have I been waiting? There have been no subs/supply teachers available due to so many activities happening in the district. They are all booked already. It's been hell *smiles sweetly*
I go this week to Dr. (yeah and omg scared)

So I figured I needed some recalibrating and refocus.

Happiness is...

• soft overnights which mean I don't have to scrape the windows in the morning
• the smell of fresh perked coffee in the morning
• the unconditional love of two cats who push their way into the bathroom in the mornings (I don't kid myself...they are there for the warmth :-)
• ppl who were in the hospital are out
• snuggled time with one of the new babies of the family.
• a possible job offer for DH
• backpay from the contract arrived though most of it was eaten up by deductions
• some warm days for end of Nov/beginning of Dec
• a wonderful staff who make it such a great place to go to work
• falling in love again with the jars and keeping better track of my money
• the support of my mom and dad
• scraping together money to make a  one month lump sum payment on my vehicle

sorry for being away for so long.
