Reasons to be Cheerful - 19.04.2012






Reasons to be Cheerful at Mummy from the Heart

Thank you as always to Mummy From the Heart.

I'm not sure what to be thankful for this week. Hubbie lost his job, he's pretty down about it and I'm starting to feel the strain trying to keep moral up for both of us.

So in light of all the depressing stuff that's happening in our household this week I think my reasons to be cheerful should be completely frivolous and just for a giggle to put a smile on my face, and hopefully a smile on yours as you read it.

1.
Housework is getting done!!!
With Hubbie out of work it means our house will be spotless (well as spotless as our monsters will allow anyway!). He's already gutted the hot press, he's washed every dish in the house, the living room floor has been cleared, today he's finishing the ironing and on Sunday, weather depending, he's going to be doing some gardening for me.
Now if only I could get him to cook every meal I'd be a lady of leisure about the house.

2.
We have a kingsize duvet for our double bed.
For anyone who shares a bed with a quilt hogger you'll understand the bliss having a larger quilt for your bed than is necessarily required.

3.
Stickers!
Stickers are the currency of choice in our house and if it wasn't for these delightful sticky pictures I'd never get a minutes peace, especially on the days our girls don't nap. Our girls go crazy for them and I'm not sure what we would've done if we hadn't discovered them months ago.
Thank you sticker makers wherever you are, you've helped preserve my sanity (well for a little while longer anyway).
