Random things that make my day

So today the kids were watching TV.  And I had to go to the bathroom.  In fact, I'd had to go to the bathroom for like the last hour, so I felt the need to pee pretty urgently.  So when I saw my opportunity to sneak away undetected and avoid the drama of Little Miss' rage when I shut the bathroom door in her face, I took it.

And then I was presented with a dilemma.  I could lock the bathroom door.  But no, that wasn't necessary was it?  What if I walked into the bathroom, slipped on a pee puddle that had missed the toilet and knocked myself out? (Yes, I'm irrational and I think those things.)  I mean the kids were quietly watching TV.  They didn't even notice me slip away.  It would take me less than two minutes to pee and be back to my spot on the couch.  I started to lock the door.  Then stopped.  And then my mommy instinct whispered to me, "If you shut it, they will come." Just like in the Field of Dreams.  That  creepy whisper voice all scary and spooky.

So I locked it.  

Then I sat down to pee.  And sure enough, about ten seconds later I heard, "MOOOOOOM!"

Then feet thundering through the kitchen.

Then into the hall.

And then the slam of a body against the bathroom door and the twisting of a doorknob.

A locked doorknob.

And I was so happy.  So happy I had made the choice to lock the door.  So happy that it couldn't be flung open and that I didn't have to screech, "I need my PRIVACY!  JUST LET ME PEE!"

I wanted to yell out "BAM SUCKA!  How do you like them apples?!" 

But I didn't.  At least not very loudly.

It totally made my day.

So, other random things that make my day (since I know you're probably dying to know).

When we have nights with something scheduled at such an inconvenient time that we have no choice but to order pizza.

When nobody wakes me up fifteen minutes before my alarm and whispers LOUDLY, "Can we play quietly in our room?"

When the littles watch Dora happily together and I can snooze for a couple of episodes on the couch.  (I mean why does school have to start sooooo early?  And why do I stay up so late?)

When I put my make up on and the Spam looks at me and says, "Those are some nice eyebrows you've got, Mom." Nice eyebrows?  I'll take it.

When the littles nap at the same time and I've saved my shower, and get to shower for 30 minutes in peace and the water stays steaming hot.  (Now, in case you're like a really green person and are kind of freaking out right now because of my water wasting, let me assure you that the majority of my showers last only two minutes because usually the Spam has to poop at the exact moment I get into the shower.  So it all evens out.)

Any time I hear the popping sound of a Diet Coke opening.

When JJ makes a joke that is actually funny.  (Instead of about poop, farts, and butts)

When I turn the music on in the kitchen and Little Miss comes running in to dance.

And when she sways with her blanky while sucking her thumb.

And her hair.

And her face.

She is getting so big.  Stop getting so big.

But anyway, I digress.  Back to what makes my day.  Here's the last and most wonderful thing of all:

BEDTIME!!!!!!

Okay, your turn.  Tell me something random that makes your day.
