5. What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?

There are many things that make me happy. The majority of Jack Johnson's songs. Junk food. Money. Family. Friends. Drawing. Painting. Writing. Soccer. Crocheting. Soda pop. Technology. The Colbert Report. Roosterteeth. Jenna Marbles. Swimming. Heat during the winter. AC during the summer. A working car. Towels. Floss. Little growing plants. A freshly sharpened pencil. Brand new markers. A new planner. Schedules. People. Children. Animals. A cool breeze. Books. A phone that works. Video games. The Walking Dead. Zombies in general. Baby animals. Pinterest. Pizza. Inca Cola. My Kindle. Movies. Perfect lines in carpet or grass. Green nature-like things. The beach. Frogs. Chinese food. Ballpoint pens. Nice handwriting. Organization. Kindness. Babies. Little things. Tae Bo. Crayons. Plain paper. Music. Weddings. Palm trees. Recycling. French bread. 

But to focus on the post, what makes me the most happy right now...

1. First thing I think of is my hubby. He makes my life so fun and happy. I love laughing with him and doing fun things with him to pass the time. I like thinking about our past, present, and future. It's just good stuff right thur. For more, see my previous posts. 

2. My job. Right now I'm loving my job. My job is, essentially, to plan super awesome activities for me (oh, and I guess the kids) to do. For instance, last week I did a gardening club. We planted flowers and herbs and watermeli (like cacti, right?). Not much grew but it was a great time. They got so excited to water (or rather drown) their plants each day. Twas fun. The week before that I did an epic Minecraft club and this week I've been doing a Pokemon club. Can I just take a minute and reveal a little more of my ultimate nerdiness? First off, the kids were so surprised that I even knew what Pokemon were but ooo were they in for a big surprise. They had no idea I used to be a Pokemon addict and I loved loved loved collecting cards, playing Pokemon Snap, and spending hours staring at a DS trying to be the greatest Pokemon Master that ever lived! And I was, in my younger days. Those days are long gone now, and I must continue to train new Pokemon trainers to carry on the legacy. Bahahahahahaha I'm kidding. But seriously. So yeah, my job is freakin' awesome. I do have days where I could cry (and do) or pull my hair out (and do) or go to jail for throwing chairs at children (hasn't happened yet, phew) but those days are few and far between. I love feeling like I make a difference in the lives of kids who don't have a lot of positive role models or influences. I love that some of my kids come to club because they feel more safe there than they do at home. Last week a kid got in trouble for asking "when is Kyler coming back?" too many times; I feel like I must be doing something right with at least a few of those little chicken nuggets. 

3. The sunshine. I never thought my mood could really be influenced by the weather. I was always one of those annoying people that always said how much they love rain and thunderstorms, "I wish it would rain everyday!" What the freak.. Day after day though, of grayness and dreariness makes me a sad bleh meh shmeh person. I don't realize this until each year the sun finally comes out, the snow melts, and I roll down the windows in my car. The breeze rushes in and I can't help but shmile. Of course I can't wear any summer clothing yet, for I would blind any person who looked at me, even with expensive sunglasses, but it sure does make me happy :) 

4. My family. My family is just awesome. No words can do them justice. We're all freakin' hilarious and highly entertaining. You should come over sometime. 

5. Leisure time! HOLY CRAP! It's so weird having all of this free time without school and with Pete working evenings. I haven't had this much time to myself for like...5 years? More, maybe. So yeah, I'm here blogging. What's the point of blogging? I have no idea. There probably is no point other than to pass time for me and waste time for you. I just like to write I guess and listening to all this awesome music (see below each post) just gets me in a chill and happy mood. They say that writing or keeping a journal can be theraputic, try it! I love being able to have time to sit and relax and think about the day rather than worry about everything that's going to happen tomorrow. It's soooo niiiiiiice having a little time to breathe :D
