What has made Shawn happy this week?



Well, I know by my recent posts, or lack there of, many of you will say nothing. Nothing has made Shawn happy this week. Well you're wrong. There have been moments of happy scattered throughout my week. Here are a few of them.


Making new friends that notice when you're down and take the time to send you a little pick me up. This also reminded me that doing the exact same thing for one of my friends was on my list of to-do's, so once again I followed the lead of a friend and sent someone in need a little sunshine!

This was my sunshine, thanks IA for making my day!




Watching Peanut play softball. I pray I never become one of those softball Moms that complains about the endless hours spent at the fields and traveling to games. I really do love it and I love that she loves it. It makes me happy, early morning games and all!

This was last Sunday, she was called out, which was total crap! If you think she was out ZIP IT, if you think she was safe feel free to tell me how right I am and how awesome my daughter is. I can't decide if she's yelling at the call or if she hurt, either way it was a bullshit call and the 3rd out of the inning. Hey Blue, you need glasses, both her hand and knee are on the bag you big Asshat!


Watching my Honey grow into such a wonderful woman makes me happy! She was asked to be the astrologist at her sisters school dance, through gritted teeth she agreed to step in and run the Fortune Teller booth for an hour and a half before she headed out on a Friday night with her friends.

Do you know many times that night she told a kid they were going to make a new best friend, or they were going to be a great football player this coming season. Fortunes were pre-written for her, she just needed to pick one from the list before the kids came into the tent, this was to avoid the kids from asking her tough questions like "will my Mommy & Daddy get back together" which happened last year {if you ask me we shouldn't even have that booth but I wasn't in charge}. It earned her a tank of gas so I think she was fine with it!

Thank you Honey, you're such a sweetie!


Watching Rogue swim makes me happy. The fact that he popped every thing in the pool last weekend {a football, a soccer ball, 2 rings and the queen size air mattress that the girls and their friends loved} doesn't make me too happy but I believe he was trying to save them. He swam them all to the side safely and then looked at me like he had just saved the most important thing ever. It's going to be a very expensive summer replacing pool toys, it doesn't take a fortune teller to see that one!


Decorating, in any fashion, makes me happy. I was in charge of the decorations for Peanuts school dance {not the theme though}. I had such fun transforming the multi-purpose room into Mardi Gras central. The kids had a blast and we raised a lot of money to help offset the costs of the upcoming 5th grade trip and banquette. I still cannot believe my little Peanut is heading to Middle School. Time going by so quickly does not make me happy but being an active part of her life at school does!




What about you? What makes you happy? Mama is waiting, tapping her fingers in anticipation to find out, don't keep her waiting!

Love your list! Chocolate covered strawberries are a little piece of heaven :)

Vivienne @ the V Spot said...

Pfft. Stupid ump. I can see she's safe all the way from California.

Glad you had some bright moments this week. IA is awesome.
xoxoxo

dddiva said...

Great list- found you on the linky since it's my first time playing. Love that you are so happy to be involved in your kids programs.

Impulsive Addict said...

I see my friend IRL stopped by. And did you read what Viv typed? "IA IS AWESOME". That's right...and don't you forget it. Maybe breaking up with me is a bad idea. Just some food for thought.

MiMi said...

Umpires suck. At least when they may crap calls anyway!
I want that boquet...is that how you spell that? And go Honey!!

shortmama said...

She makes such a pretty fortune teller though...even if she would rather be out with her friends.

I want those chocolate covered strawberries...they still count as fruit right? The fruit cancels out the chocolate?

Amy said...

The fruit looks awesome! So do the Mardi Gras decorations! I've seen lots of that around here lately.

Red Stethoscope said...

Aww, your story about Honey was so sweet! I love to see siblings helping each other out. And, bummer to the call on Peanut! The picture tells no lies!

Connie said...

YUM!! You have good friends!

I had the best week with my kids. My week started out crappy but they turned it around for me.

Diane Writes said...

Hi! Thank you for the dropping by and commenting on my rarely visited blog. That really made me happy.

Congratulations on your Mardri Gras decoration. I love it too.

I hope we could develop a connection by following each others blog. I am following yours.

Wishing you more happiness!

Myya said...

You definitely did have some HAPPY to your week. IA is a rockstar, that was really sweet. That Ump is a douche... she is TOTALLY safe! What a sweetie Honey is, a tank of gas is a nice payment too, although I bet she would have done it regardless.

Love that party pic of you & Peanut. You are looking all cute & stuff and she is totally in her own world being sassy. LOVE IT!

Mamarazzi said...

wow that umpire really stinks!!

love the decor for the dance. i love that the girls have such an awesome mama!

Rogue swimming in the pool reminded me of my German Shepard Akita mix St. Pauli Girl, i could not keep her out of the pool...i hope there is a big one up in heaven for her.

GREAT Happy List...thanks for linking up!!

Jen said...

What a fabulous list :) And I really must get to know IA, she's everywhere!

Rachel Murphy said...

Girl she looks safe to me!

So glad you had such a nice happy list. I have missed reading all of what is going on with my bloggy friends. But I am back. Hope you have a great day today and that the ump gets his! lol

Emmy said...

A very good happy list. And she was totally safe! Yes that whole fortune telling thing could get very tricky-especially with kids that age they sometimes believe everything!

Heather In The Land Of Mom said...

She was safe!!!! We need to kick that umpire in a place that would not make him happy!
