Happy List Saturdays....I've decided!

After talking with the lovely nurse from my doctors office, I've convinced myself to chill out.  I have to or else I'm going to go crazy.  I can't live with being so sensitive to every little thing in life anymore.  I miss who I used to be.  I miss the girl who smiled all the time because she was TRULY happy.  So, I've decided to take my life back again! 

• I will learn to smile again and make sure it's a genuine one!
• I will learn how to be content and happy with what the Lord has blessed me with.
• I will NOT dwell on the fact that I have not been blessed with a child to call my own (YET), but I will embrace all the other people/children God has placed in my life in the meantime.  
• I will be the wife I should have been from the beginning...A loving, forgiving, generous, caring, compassionate, domesticated wife!
• I WILL pass my finals and walk at graduation on May 6, 2011...and I will be proud that I have made it this far and acknowledge that I could not have done it without the support of all my friends, family members, and dedicated teachers!

THIS is my Happy List Saturday post because I'm happy that I am finally going to take my life back from that mean ole' devil who has tried so desperately to tear me and my marriage apart!  "Take that Satan, you ain't got nothin' on me!"

Happy List Saturdays

Today I am up before 7 am on a Saturday (which is very much NOT like me).  So, I decided to join Natasha's Happy List Saturdays so that I'm forced to find something positive in my life.  Sometimes, especially lately, it's so hard for me to find something happy in my life.  So, here it goes!  Here's what makes me happy on this Saturday.

1. I'm off Provera for the 2nd cycle.  That means no more (or at least not as many) mood swings that make Luke walk on egg shells.  No Provera makes for a happy marriage!  :)
2. We were supposed to have severe storms last night.  Not only did we not get any damage, I didn't even hear the storm come through.  I slept all the way through the night and didn't wake up once!  THIS makes me incredibly happy!
3. I'm graduating college in 27 days!  That's less than a month.  An end is finally coming (for now anyway).  This is something I've always wanted to do.  I guess I can check it off my bucket list when the day comes!  Once again, happiness!
4. My sweet little niece turns 1 next Friday.  Although I don't get the chance to see her often (she lives across town from us and schedules conflict a lot).  She and her brother are the closest thing I have in my life to making me feel whole inside since I haven't been able to conceive a child of my own.  Every time I see her I smile from ear to ear (a true genuine Alicia smile!)
5. Last night I finally had some motivation to get our house cleaned.  Over the past month it seems like I have had Z-E-R-O motivation to do anything much less cleaning (which is at the bottom of my list of favorite things to do).  With Luke's help I tackled the kitchen and some laundry, and he worked on the living room.  It's not all the way clean, but I feel better that SOMETHING was done around the house.
