Did you ever just wake up one day and see the sun shining and a blue sky, look around and think "I'm happy"? Well, I am. I'm happy. I can't think of a reason not to be. My life is relatively uncomplicated. I have a husband whom I love dearly and who loves me more than life itself. My daughter is beyond the sweetest child in the universe. I'm happy.
I find that it is important to write days like today down. This way if sometime next week, tomorrow, or even later today I get grouchy or discouraged about something, I can easily go back to this and say, "Hey, you need to get back to that day."
Now, I'm also completely exhausted. I desperately need to start finding my bed BEFORE 1:30 in the morning. Typically, it wouldn't be too huge a problem, but I do have to get up either with Mariana or to take my cousin to summer school, depending on whose turn it is for which.
Last night I was levelling my alt and chatting on vent with Flaitie, Deadsabot and Korrigan. Somehow the conversation turned into relationships and such... It made me realize that I've never wanted to be with anyone other than Phil. Well, that led to all of those questions men hate to be asked by their significant others... "Have you ever looked at another girl and though, 'damn I wish my girl had...'" Phil is a good sport, he knows that I am not going to get pissed and turn into a "I can't believe you'd want to change that about me" so he doesn't freak out with those conversations. I don't ask to trap; I really do ask out of general curiosity. However, that led to about 2:30 before we got to sleep. SO, I'm tired today.
Wow, this got long fast. I rambled I think, I tend to do that.
Anyway, the point of all of this is. I can safely say that I go to bed at night knowing that I am truly loved as me and that makes me happy!

An Update
So, I was informed that I need to keep updating this thing every once in a while. I'm really bad about keeping journals, particularly if it's only for my own records. But since people actually stop by and find out what's going on in my life with this thing, I'll try to be better about it.
Phil is doing really well with his new career. Last year he taught Geometry and Physics, but this year he will be teaching Physics only. The other Physics teacher left the school and Phil was given all of the Physics classes if he wanted them. Since his degree is in Physics, you can imagine he jumped at the opportunity. He was also given the department funds to spend on "his program". It's really rather exciting and it says a lot about his performance in his first year.
Mariana is getting huge. She's rather tall according to the doctor. She's already 16 months old as of the 8th of the month. She walks everywhere, naturally. She's even learned the concept of running away from you when she has something you are trying to take away from her. I think the thing I love most about her is her laugh. She's just so incredibly adorable when she giggles. She's also beginning to assert her independence and prove that she's more stubborn than her mother ever was, hard to believe I know.
I'm doing great. I've applied for Financial Aid for the Fall semester and am eligible for grants... Such is to be expected when you are a family of three on one income. Every once in a while not being rich pays off in a way. So, I may get to go to school without deepening the ever growing amount of student loans. I'm still going to get my degree in English Education. It has been quite a while since I was in college. I will be taking online courses for much of my degree and then when I have no choice I'll consider actually going to a classroom. I have no intention of going back to work right now and don't know when I will. I'm in no rush and Phillip loves me being home with Mariana, so I have a lot of support.
My health is on an incline. I've only passed out once in the last 7 months. 4 of the last 7 months I've been completely without medication. I do have one minor problem of a lost cardiologist. But I'll get another one. Anyone know any really good Electrophysiologists in Florida? :)
Mommy had surgery again. I think it was on May 24. She's recovering well, though she has a nurse come to the house everyday to clean her wound since the doctor doesn't want to close it up and risk another "fluid pocket" being formed. All in all she's keeping her spirits high. I'm very proud of her and I admire her greatly. It's amazing how well she holds together despite all of the difficulties she has.
The whole family is still addicted to WoW. We enjoy playing together very much. In fact, last night we downed Onyxia for the first time with our guild. Most people don't know what that means, but for those of you who do, we built our guild as family first and then added members until we grew to a point where together we could do end game in a fun casual way. It's been a blast. You can check us out at http://motuguild.net.
Oh AND it's MONDAY... Monday is ZUMBA!!! I love my Zumba class. I love the gym now. But, honestly Zumba is my favorite part of my weekly workouts. Caitie, Meghan and I go dance off the calories.
