Happy moments

AmberLiz99 · April 2017

Let's face it, sometimes being a mom gets hard. We all LOVE our kids, but it can be easy to get bogged down and miss the little happy moments. For those of us with depression or anxiety it can get even harder. I've made it a goal of mine for April to notice the little moments in my life that make me happy.

I want this thread to be a place where we can post happy moments. Big or small, or even silly. They can be kid related or not. Please join in. Let's help each other celebrate the little things that make us smile

Tonight the house was quiet for a few minutes and I had a warm cup of cafix in the Les Miserables mug I got on broadway two years ago, while listening to music I enjoy. Reminded me that I'm still me, and made me smile

Love this idea!

Today after work Savannah was cranky and DH won't be home until 10. Instead of taking a nap with her, mopping around or feeling bad for myself I strapped her in the Ergo and went for a walk. She loved seeing everything since she's normally in the stroller facing me

This crabby face makes me laugh, here he is doing his first long term "lean stand" after I abandoned him. He got happy after he realized he was in a good position to beat on the cat. Being home with my kids makes me exhausted and crabby a lot of the time so it's nice to take time to remember that I actually do enjoy it.

I took a training class this morning for a new HR system we'll be using at work. The class is two days, and we were given "homework" at the end of the session today to practice our skills before finishing the lesson tomorrow. I pulled the laptop back out after putting the baby to bed, but I made sure to grab myself a nice tall beer at the same time. If I'm going to be working at 9 pm, I'm having a drink, and that's my happy moment today.

Edited to say: that makes me sound kind of like an alcoholic. Promise, it was more a 'stick it to the man' moment.

I had a good morning. Before my depression, I would be up for the day at like 7-6:30 so I could take my time waking up before Preston woke up for the day. But since the depression I do t wanna get out of bed. This morning I had stuff I needed to do before he got up so I also had a small breakfast and it reminded me of that time when things were better.

I had about 20mins of time to myself this morning after getting ready since my husband and Damien were still sleeping. It was nice to drink my morning drink, check some stuff online and just enjoy the quiet. The rest of the morning went much smoother than yesterday, it was a good start to the day. Damien was all smiles when I dropped him off at daycare.

Today we had an early doc appt (Jackie has had a cough) and it was sort of a practice run for once I start work. She got up at 7 all smiles, we were out the door with coffee in hand by 7:35. She was pretty well behaved at the doctors and apparently her cough is an allergy cough (poor girl got her dad's allergies). I'm pretty happy with how smoothly it all went.

I got to attend a curriculum meeting at my son's school tonight, and it was so nice. Reminded me how much I love his school, and how much he's growing. A nice little break and refocusing moment

Took this little cutie to the beach today and she LOVED it. I'm so glad because I love the beach too, so I look forward to taking her all summer and playing in the water when it gets warmer.

That looks like a lot of fun! It's probably been almost 15 yrs since I've been to the beach...
