Happiness is...


Happiness is...

...scrolling through 212 channels and finding one that is actually broadcasting the Golden Globes (with a very reasonable 8pm start time, no less!);

...an 8-month-old who has suddenly taken up an interest in nighttime sleep (all that Cheeto consumption must be tuckering her out);

...a 2-year-old who loudly answered the question, "What makes flowers smell so good?" with the matter-of-fact response, "Peanut butter!";

...a 3-year-old who went to school yesterday in full purple sequin flapper costume (and came home still in it; you have to respect that kind of commitment);

...the prospect of a new friend (whoever would have guessed that I would be living in an Arab country and my best bud would be a full-fledged German?);

...live-in help.  Full stop.

Yay.
