Attention world, I am happy

[colliemommie]

For the past three or four days I have been really happy. Not just content, but happy happy. Even with sick kids, dad not having a good week, the kitchen light not working, a dog poop incident, the sudden return of cold weather, and not being caught up on things from the week I was sick.

It's the opposite of clinical depression: undifferentiated happiness that really doesn't seem influenced by the situation, good or bad.

I could get used to this!

(And Katrina is exhausted, but the ear is better. The chiropractor showed me how to adjust her ear in a way that helps push the fluid out. Apparently children's eustacian tubes don't slope as much as adults, which promoted fluid build up and explains why kids are prone to ear infections. I got to use my new skill this evening, and in ten minutes she went from crying with the discomfort to saying she felt great.)
