Shiny, Happy Post! :-)



Orperhaps I shouldcall it - post in haste - repent at leisure.
I was thinking yesterday how many times I've posted really negative thoughts on my lj and how I seem to be using it only in my very worst moments, when half of whatIwriteis utter nonsense.This can hardly be very entertaining or uplifting for my poor flisters and friends. It doesn't represent me very well, either - I'm pretty chirpy most of the time - despite the evidence of this journal. So I thought I'd test myself and make an effort to post something cheery, bouncy and positive.
This will either give you the warm fuzzies or make you want to heave - but I thought it would be quite therapautic.
1) I've slept! Again! That's two nights running and N's enjoying her little treat in the morning for being a good girl and stopping in her room. I feel tons better already and haven't lost my temper at all today!
2) I took N into school yesterday afternoon. I'd been worrying how she'd like it - but I needn't have feared because there was a big pool of glitter and penguins and it won her over completely. She demanded an apron and rolled up her sleeves and got stuck in. I had to drag her away. I think she'd going to love it!
3) N and T are getting on - even playing together - racing round the kitchen table in hysterics. They walked home from mother and baby - hand in hand. It brought tears to my eyes, they looked so beautiful. N is starting to treat T as not merely a thing that gets in her way - but as a potential friend. She says she's going to marry him when she grows up.
4) It's party month! I have three parties to organise. N's 4th, mum's and hubbys. I spent a fortune on sparkly tiaras, balloons, streamers, bunting and other stuff. I haven't enjoyed myself so much in ages! R's birthday is on Mayday so we're having a grown up's only party in the woods. A yearly do now - a midsummer, anniversary and birthday celebration in one. Can't wait - must start making laterns ... oh yes, and we're getting a full night away - god, it feels naughty! ;)
5) I've become good friends with a very cool lady who lives at the bottom of my hill. Haven't spoken much before, but we have kids the same age and N is very friendly with her daughter. We talked and clicked immediately. She's asked me over for lunch next week. My village is small and it's great to find a new friend to call on.
6) We have flocks of goldfinches visiting the garden and we also seem to have adopted a very small wild rabbit that sits on the lawn chewing the grass. I love him - don't care what devestation he wreaks on the garden - he's beautiful.
7) I made a cake!
8) We've been paid - at last ....I can't tell you what a relief that is...
9) Mechtild and Ellin - because their wonderful discussion over on fanfiction - KD is just so enjoyable and keeping my brain alive.
10) Having a delete option on journal entries - to consign those crappy posts to their doom.
