The Happy Things In Life

I had a really bad day at work today. REALLY bad. Working for the federal government for only a year and a half has made me realize the HUGE difference between working for the private sector versus the public sector. Many people have told me "dont let this agency spoil your view of the entire federal service"... but my GOODNESS- Some federal agencies operate so unethically. I left work in tears.

I once heard a story about a father who would leave work every day completely upset. One day he brought a co-worker home with him and the co-worker noticed that he grabbed a leaf on the tree outside, mumbled and continued to walk inside. As the night proceeded the co-worker asked the man "why did you rub that leaf before you came inside?" To which the man replied "I have learned to leave my worries at the door. So everyday, before I walk inside, I hang my worries here so that I can enjoy the happy things in my life". Today, I made myself an imaginary hook wher I begin hanging my worries every day.

My son makes me happy. Every day, when I come home from work, I totally forget about all the bad things that happened. He lights up my life. He completes me. I want to give him all of my attention and show him that I am a very happy mother. So, I hang my worries at the door so that I can totally enjoy him.

This is why I hang my worries at the door... look at how cute he his!


And look- he has FOUR teeth!


And best of all- this is the Authentic Liam Sleeping Position...


I love this kid. Now I am happy again... until tomorrow.
