I had a tough time until recently where my "baby blues"/ utter lack of sleep exhaustion was really dragging on me. But I've been feeling better and happier overall. I have always been a person who writes in a journal and I've been trying to note one thing (at least) a day that is happy like "my LO laughed today" "or it was warmer and we went for a walk in the carrier outside." Helps remind me of the things I love and how I am really blessed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1/page/2#post-516470 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 18:05:02 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 516470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I am the same way too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-516183 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 14:34:38 +0000 Smurfette 516183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am overall very happy with my life. Yes, there are things I would change, mostly work, but for the most part I wouldn't change anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-516168 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 14:28:31 +0000 mrskc 516168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm overall very happy with my life right now. I have a great husband and a sweet baby boy. The only thing I'm not happy about is that my maternity leave is over in 2 weeks and I have to go back to a job I dislike. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-516152 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 14:18:25 +0000 doodlepoodle 516152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Thanks :) I'll be sharing in the anxiousness of wanting a home to sell soon! I hope yours sells asap!! At least your floors will impress people ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-516062 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 12:51:30 +0000 hummusgirl 516062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, extremely happy. My husband is amazing and a true co-parent. Our LO is cute and smiley now and goes with the flow. We have wonderful friends and live in an incredible neighborhood in an awesome city. I do get anxiety thinking about all the things that could go wrong in life (waiting for the other shoe to drop since things have been so perfect up to this point), but I try not to get the "what ifs" get in the way of enjoying the present. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-516035 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 12:28:08 +0000 Running Elley 516035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very happy. I'm blessed with an amazing husband, a sweet boy and the opportunity to stay home with him. I've had issues adjusting to the changes but I'm truly happy with the way that my life is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-516023 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 12:21:08 +0000 plum 516023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for the first time in a long long while, i am happy. not just happy at the moment, that, thankfully, happens all the time throughout the day. now though, for the past month or so, it's been a fairly steady dependable happy and i love love love it. not sure what changed, and there's still a lot to be improved and done, but it's awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515984 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 11:33:39 +0000 tequiero21 515984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm too tired right now to be happy.... Hopefully when the kids r older, I'll have a more positive answer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515943 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 11:00:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 515943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Overall, definitely. I'm able to truly appreciate all the good things I have right now-- I'm pregnant after wanting a baby my whole life, DH has been amazing with taking care of me when I'm not feeling well and seems pretty connected with LO already, we are financially secure and I'm going to be able to be a SAHM like I've always wanted. So, I know we are really, really lucky-- of course we also worked hard to be at this point, but sometimes it just doesn't shake out that way no matter how hard you work. </p> <p>Of course there are things I could be happier about-- I don't love my job and am sick of it, and I'm a little disappointed that by 31 I still haven't found a 'career' that I am passionate about. We are slightly stressed about money and where we will live when the baby comes, but stressed in a 'I just want to know now' way, we do know that it will work out. </p> <p>My biggest unhappiness right now is the headache that's going on 4 days now. That I could really live without. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515894 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 10:18:52 +0000 Andrea 515894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dapple Grey: I was just going to say the same. Happy because things could be so much worse. </p> <p>Gotta work with what you have. And I have a lot already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515610 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 00:30:35 +0000 singingbee 515610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: ,@sslm: I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of this! It's really how I feel. </p> <p>@Irishmom: it was in response to how happy Charlotte is in her relationship/marriage. It is true!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515597 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 00:13:14 +0000 Dapple Grey 515597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Perspective, perspective.<br /> I rejoice in all things ;) life could always be worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515585 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 23:57:00 +0000 hellocupcake 515585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So happy it scares me, in a good way. (: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515581 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 23:52:32 +0000 mrsmate 515581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These days, I'm very happy. I don't think you can ever be so happy in life you can't be happier, but I'm very satisfied with the way things are right now.</p> <p>I've found that motherhood means I feel everything 10x as much as I did before. The days I felt angry or depressed were far lower than any bad day I'd experienced pre-baby. And the good days are so much better and more meaningful post-baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515554 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 23:14:40 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 515554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very happy overall. I've been in a bad mood today though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515512 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 22:48:33 +0000 HLK208 515512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: no way! You always come off as positive, especially in the situation you're in with your job. I am hoping the best for you!</p> <p>Yes, I'm happy. A little anxious. I wish our dumb house would sell but other than that, life is good. My LO's make me happy and they make me laugh every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515482 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 22:25:54 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 515482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I'm finally feeling like I have most of the things ready for Baby Brother's appearance, DH has a good routine going on, and LO1 has been pretty manageable and bringing lots of laughs lately. Feeling like I have a lot to be grateful for, so even though some big picture things could be getting me down I'm trying not to concern myself with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515462 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 22:15:26 +0000 MrsBrewer 515462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Decided today we are getting a puppy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515460 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 22:14:26 +0000 Reese 515460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I am reading the same book! </p> <p>Yep, happy. I have my anxieties, but overall I am a happy duck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515450 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 22:09:02 +0000 sslm 515450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: I was thinking that too!</p> <p>Timely question because I'm reading the happiness project right now! Overall I would say I'm happy but I could definitely be happier, like in my career. I think it's a good idea to always strive to be happier and more fulfilled :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515446 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 22:06:56 +0000 Irishmom 515446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: I have never heard this...never watched satc...but, I love it. Very true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515436 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 21:59:05 +0000 doodlepoodle 515436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: OMG I was about to type out the exact same quote!! That's totally how I feel about my life. </p> <p>There are things that are stressing me out (my job will be eliminated in 6 months, we're relocating, so the uncertainty of things is scary!) but my DH loves me, we love our little man and our family has our back and has already offered to take us in if necessary, which is unreal. </p> <p>I do sometimes feel like I use HB as my venting outlet, so I'm sure you all think I'm a basket case!!! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515402 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 21:25:13 +0000 singingbee 515402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like Charlotte from satc when I answer this: yes-everyday. Maybe not all day everyday, but yes everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515378 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 21:02:11 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 515378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy, yes. But very, very tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515373 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 21:01:02 +0000 ladyfingers 515373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, no. Overall, yes. We have a lot more than other people and in general things are great. We're having a baby sometime in the next few weeks. But I'm uncomfortable and in pain and hormonal and can't keep up with the housework so I always feel dirty and I can't stop nagging DH and I just want to crawl in a hole right now. And I'm exhausted but can't go to bed because DH overloaded the washer by putting ALL our sheets in there so we've been washing sheets for the last 5 hours which should have been 3 hours max. And I'm hungry but can't afford another snack tonight. I just want this baby out of me and then I keep reading about breast feeding issues and babies not napping or sleeping and unruly toddlers and I'm feeling like ... Overwhelmed already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515368 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:55:17 +0000 cascademom 515368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Feeling good. We had a good counseling session on Friday, got some sleep, and are communicating better. Best it's been in awhile. Hitting a rough patch with a new baby and pressures from family has been hard on our marriage. Friday was the first time in a long time I've had hope for our marriage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515349 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:43:36 +0000 anonysquire 515349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: just normal anxiety, depression and life. I'd say as an adult I haven't been that "happy". I consider myself to be positive and happy on the outside but never happy inside :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515298 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:10:13 +0000 rachiecakes 515298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This week has been tough, we were thrown a curveball. I got really depressed, like @Boopers , letting FB get me down, reading too much about everyone else. I'm truly happy with DS. So I'm focusing on the positive, spending what could be FB or IG time with him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-1#post-515297 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:08:58 +0000 MaisyMay 515297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: There are so many things that can make us unhappy!</p> <p> I'm not happy that DH is working late, put in over 50 hours this week. I'm not happy that I didn't sleep well last night. Not happy over money stuff, etc. </p>
