on being happy

i really can’t remember a recent time in my life where i’ve been so happy.  sure, there are sucky things going on like my car needing work or my best friend working the whole time i’m up visiting her next week, but really, those are no big deal.  the car will get fixed with my new carpet money.  i’ll just teach summer school again next year for more new carpet money.  or, get a second job during the school year.  no biggie.  i’ll hang out with my best friend’s hubby while she is working or sleeping.  he is chill.  we can drink beer and play video games together lol.  she said he took off monday since she has to work a full shift.  what a nice guy! 

but seriously, kevin makes me so happy!  i texted him monday and asked him if he wanted to hang out this week.  i knew he would be busy getting ready for his beach trip next week and he had his kids on his usual days.  he wrote back and said he wished he could but he had the kids all day mon and tues, wed, thurs and fri til 6, had tix to a baseball game with his friend, his grandma was suddenly not doing good and had to pack and stuff.  obviously a busy week.  so, i didn’t want to be a pain.  i was disappointed, but i just said that i understand and i was really sorry about his grandma.  i told him that if he had some time and wanted to hang out to let me know and he said he definitely would. tuesday my car overheated so i sent him a text asking to send me positive thoughts for my car and he wrote back "life is good and people love you" lol.  i said hopefully that will keep my car running until the end of the week.  wednesday, i didn’t text him.  i started being negative, but put it out of my mind.  i didn’t hear from him but didn’t let it bother me.  so today, i was laying on the couch catching up on my DVR’d shows and i get a text from him!! 

kev: "hey u!"
me: "hey!  wanna hear a secret"
kev:  "yes"
me:  you just put a big goofy smile on my face (i’m done with quotation marks)
kev:  lol.  was actually gonna see if u wanted to come over tomorrow around 10ish.  my grandma passed and the last viewing is 7-9.  i have some packing to do for the kids and myself.  leave for the ocean sun.  but company is always welcome.  leave sat about 830 for the funeral
me:  i’m so sorry hon!  of course i would love to hang out.  want me to bring wine?
kev:  that would be great, thanks

so, even though he is busy, he found some time to squeeze me in.  it sounds bad to say he squeezed me in, but i’m thinking of it as a positive.  he has so much to do, but wanted to see me and found time to actually hang out with me and invite me over.  i know he will be busy running around and getting stuff ready, but it makes me happy to know that he thought of me.  and, especially at a tough time like his grandma dying.  it makes me feel special to think that he wants my company at a tough time like that.  🙂  so, he makes me so happy.  and, i get to see him before my vacation. 

i love being happy!
