HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS REDEFINED
Happiness is...
Waking up in the morning, rolling over, and looking at my daughter in the bassinet beside me only to be greeted with a gummy grin, which is her way of saying “Good Morning Mommy”

Watching my husband as he learns to make a fool out of himself in order to entertain our daughter
Spending quiet time with my husband on the couch watching DVR’d episodes of our favorite shows, accompanied with the occasional sounds from the baby monitor, after Allison has been fed, rocked, and put to bed
Taking a good long shower and even shaving my legs without having to rush since I know Allison is being taken care of by my husband
Watching my two loves, my daughter and husband, smile back and forth at each other as if no one is watching
Hearing my husband talk in baby talk, which he swore never to do
Watching Allison drift off into sleep as she loosens her sucking power from the bottle and slowly feels heavier and heavier in my arms
Seeing Allison waking up from her long morning nap fully refreshed, happy, and stretching like a cat
Success is...
Being able to switch over the laundry before the mildew smell sets in in the washer, which means I would have to rerun it
Being able to load, run, and unload the dishwasher before my husband asks me if the dishwasher is clean or dirty, which means a particular item is missing from the cupboards
Getting in and out of Safeway (and/or Walmart or Target) with everything on my list bought and in my cart
Being able to bring in all of the groceries from the car once we get home, not just the cold items that I asked the bagger at Safeway to bag separately
