[quote=Anonymous]"very happy"? I'm not very happy all day long, but if you asked me about my life in general, I am happy with it.

SAHM with 2 and 5 year old + pregnant with third, husband with well paid job with reasonable hours and some flexibility.

If I had to say what makes me happy, it's probably a lot of little things. I get to stay home, which is what i want to be doing. We have enough money for what we need, including a fair amount of childcare! 5 year old is in 3 hr/day preK and we just hired an 18 hr/wk nanny to be with us for the first year of the baby's life.

We have a nice home with lots of light that I like spending time in.

I think my ability to forget bad stuff and move on has improved with time. With my first child, little things could ruin my whole day. Now I just make a conscious decision to not let things ruin my day. I just move on.

And I know no matter what, my spouse and I will be able to relax for a little bit at the end of the day, and I enjoy his company.

Also, I think I have a good ability when things are making me angry or not working for me to be able to see what the problem is and find a solution for it. Usually involving some kind of system to make it not as much of a problem.

But really, I mean, I'm a priviliged person, I guess that's what it comes down to. I have more money and time than the average person.[/quote]
