Do Bad Lists Cross Out Good Lists?

I've been compiling a list of things that have been making me happy lately:

  • Going to Costco to pick up a hotdog to add to my chili dog and realizing they only take cash or check. I don't have my checkbook, but the man behind the counter comes through and pays the $1 and I only have to pay 52 cents.
  • Eating that super nummy chili dog with cheese and a salad for dinner.
  • Having a kid tell me that a chick has a shell because it grows in one until it's born.
  • Making a wonderful dinner tonight of homemade potato fries, salad, and a pulled pork sandwich.
  • Finishing my laundry under 2 hours and having three loads to do.
  • Kids who follow directions and when they don't know that there will be some sort of consequences, even if it is only walking around the room in a circle five times.
  • When talking about fur with the kids, showing them the hair on my legs and them not getting grossed out, yet they choose to show me the hair on their legs too. -side note: one kid kept calling it his man hair and then said he had man hair all over. that is when I knew I should change the subject.

And a list of things that don't make me very happy:

  • Not sleeping enough, so my cold lingers and I'm grouchy with the kids.
  • Not realizing there is a hole in my shoe, until it has rained and my sock ends up getting wet through the hole.
  • Having to do report cards, when all I want to do is watch The Hills and Samantha Who? -edited: the system was down when I went to do grades, so I didn't get to do them tonight anyway. It was a free night. Whoo hoooo!
  • Having to clean my bathroom.
  • Having to listen to complaining when the complainers really don't want help in solving the solution, they just want to complain.
