"When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad."

Favorite Things
"The Sound of Music"
Things that make me happy... just a few of them...
1. Twelve hours of uninterrupted sleep, zzz, zzzzz, zzzzzz. The last one I had was 2 decades ago.
2. Rising up every morning with my kids lying down next to me all cuddled up. I smell their heads, lay may hands on them to pray for them.
3. Two freshly cooked eggs sunny side up pls.
4. A cup of instant coffee that we have at the pantry now, one that says "7-in-one."
5. Scents of things: L'occitane hand cream and their Verbena cologne, Johnson's liquid baby bath color blue and white, Chloe rose parfum, my husband's outfit after a day's work.
6. Scents of herbs in my greenhouse: tarragons, oreganos, rosemarys
8. A homeschool portfolio I send over to our homeschool provider in Manila.
9. Christmas music in the air.
10. My kids singing A capella while playing with their toys, wrong lyrics make it even more perfect.
11. Laundry getting done while I check my kids' worksheets.
12. Catching up with my friends who happen to be family as well.
13. My family gathered around our old round table. TV turned off.
14. Baking with my daughter
15. Getting a few good books to read at Booksale
16. My husband cooking at the kitchen
17. Lounging at our family room after a day of work at school, feet up on our coffee table,uh huh, that's allowed here.
16. Bible verses, but there are tons of them!
17. People thanking God and telling you that they're blessed by "you"
18. Scrapbooks, digital and old-school, color patterns, shapes, the visuals
19. Bedtime stories with my kids...they're loving "Dr. Seuss"
20. When energy has subsided, and kids get ready to go to bed, then it's quiet tea-time with my hubby, we talk, we dream, we plan
22. ANSWERED PRAYERS...sometimes YES...sometimes NO...sometimes WAIT...
