A lot of times in my life, I tend to dwell on the unpleasant parts. We found out today that DH got passed over for another job promotion (again), which means we'll be unable to move out of our little town and into a better home. It had put me in a terrible mood all day...until I cleaned my kitchen. Ahhh. It feels SO GOOD when my kitchen is clean. I even washed out the microwave (ew) and rearranged some things on the counter so that there's a little more space and it looks nicer. It kind of made me realize that for all my quirks and idiosyncrasies, I'm a pretty simple girl and it doesn't take a lot to make me happy. So here's my list of 5 small things that make me instantly feel better. Feel free to share yours!
♥ My home being clean cheers me up. When everything is in its place and I can find things quickly, it makes me happy.
♥ Cooking and baking. Since DH has had a bad day, I might make some peanut butter cookies. I don't have as much of a sweet tooth as DH, but I like cookies pretty much any time.
♥ Leaving little notes for my husband to find. I love his reaction when he comes across love notes from me, telling him how much I love him and appreciate how hard he works. I don't want him to ever not know how much I appreciate him.
♥ Feeling my little boy rolling around in my belly. It's absolutely incredible every single time I feel it. I think I'll really miss that part of pregnancy but it'll be worth it to have my gorgeous little boy on the outside.
♥ Talking to my mom. My gosh, I love my mom. There is no one who understands me like she does. I can't imagine my life without her! I would love to talk her into a mommy/daughter tattoo with me. I texted her today and asked her what she would picture as a symbol of our relationship. She said she'd have to think about that one. I think it'd be hardcore for my mom to get some ink. ;)

Update on my mom, and an awesome birthday!
My mom's doing ok. They weren't ever able to pinpoint the cause of her pain, but they did find an ovarian cyst that may be the culprit. She's going to follow up with her OB/GYN on Monday and see if the cyst is hitting a nerve or something like that. They gave her some anti-nausea medicine and a prescription for the pain, in case it comes back. I'm going to see her tonight; she's my date for a wedding, haha. So thankful that my mom is ok, because I don't know how I'd handle it if she wasn't.
Yesterday was my 23rd birthday, and it was definitely one of the better that I've had. I went to the chiro in the morning, which was the only part of the day that I wasn't totally happy with. It turns out that they haven't been charging us as much as they should've for the copay. It was supposed to be $35; they've only been charging $20. So we suddenly have a bill for $15 from each visit I've had so far. Obviously, we'll pay it, but I find it totally obnoxious that we're having to pay it at all when it was their mistake. Oh well. I don't feel like the adjustments are doing any good anymore, so I think I'm going to stop going.
After the chiro, my wonderful husband sent me off to get a pedicure. Ahh, the bliss. Why do I not get these more often? It was especially wonderful since it's extremely hard for me to get to my toenails to paint them on my own, and the nail tech was just awesome. The color I picked was an OPI color called "Monsooner or later". I can't stay away from the bright coral-y colors!
For dinner, we went to Logan's. It was a slightly more disappointing experience. When my food got to the table, the sirloin and rice were cold, and it was the tiniest serving of rice I've ever seen. I asked our waiter if they could just reheat the stuff on the plate; it tasted fine, so I wasn't trying to get new food, just hotter food. He took it back to the kitchen for me and then the manager came out to apologize for the issue. They ended up only charging us like, $12 for our entire meal, which was awesome!
The only downside to this birthday was that it's the first time in my life that I didn't get cards in the mail. Not a single card. I feel so silly for caring about that, because I'm a grown woman and it's a trivial thing, but it made me a little sad. I did get cards in person from my mom and MIL, but for some reason it was just different to not get anything in my mailbox.
Here's my 27-week bump picture. Pardon my looks in this one...I had spent an hour or so crying over my mom and my mirror is dirty.
