This week was a welcome relaxing contrast to the craziness of the previous one. I'm pretty much as happy as can be right now....yeah, in some ways we're talking fleeting happiness....but I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

So - onto my happy list:

1. Clean streaks. From time to time I get these weird compulsions to clean. Wednesday night I windexed every imaginable surface in the kitchen and re-organised half our cupboards. A clean kitchen is a happy kitchen. And also a happy wife.

2. Extra minutes after work. Getting the 5:15pm train home means that cooking is relaxing rather than rushed and stressful.

3. Zac and lots of other little kids! Playing races or tip with 1-3 year olds is awesome fun. Also sharing first words like "wick-ed". And seeing Zac help out with changing his own nappy. And climbing Couch Mountain.

4. eBay. I've been eBaying all week! I got gloves and goggles for ski-ing....yay!!!! Now I wait and hope for them to arrive!!! I also talked myself out of buying walkie-talkies for our ski trip. For some reason I think they'd be cool....even though I know they'd be very annoying.

5. Playing. Around. Thanks Zab!
