Yes! I'm happy..
Family, having a roof over our heads, a/c, not having to worry about finances, etc makes me happy and thankful .
I get sad when DH takes off for business trips, but I get over it quickly.
I get sad when Im craving food but can't get it because DH is out of town and Lo is asleep (cravings usually hit late at night).

My baby makes me extremely happy. I love her smiles and laughs, her cries, how much she needs me and that I'm her favorite person in the world right now.

But I'm not happy most of the day because my job sucks and leaving my baby to come to a place that makes me miserable makes me feel even more miserable! Plus we have to move by the end of the month and don't have a place yet--it's either safer neighborhood for more money or meh neighborhood where we can save. I'd like to leave NY but my husband doesn't want to. Thinking about the future gets me down sometimes.

Very happy! Found a good, fun class for LO yesterday, have plans to meet girlfriends later tonight, and DH has been very helpful this week! I find that as long as I have plenty of social interaction (other than talking to my toddler) I'm a happy camper.

I'm very happy! I was just telling my husband the other night how I couldn't be happier that I'm full term and we're finally going to have this baby! We've worked so hard to have him that we're just so excited that we're at this point! And he's been fantastic through this entire process. So yes...very happy!

Things that bring me down right now are all of the other problems my poor family is having! We've been through a lot of health scares this year, and currently, my 14 week pregnant SIL is in surgery for kidney stones. So just praying she and the baby come out ok!

I'm happy! I am having some job-related stress (getting laid off next month) and I've been letting that bring me down. But then I remind myself that my work is not my life. My family is my life and everything else will work out eventually!

Right now I'm very happy. I'm working on a really complex, large project at work and really digging it. And daycare jut sent their daily email/pics and LO's pic today was her playing with another baby, and they both are smiling. THAT just made my day.

I'm also very lucky to have a great husband, a great home, my cat has started purring a lot again and we have a lot of things to look forward to! I'm at a very, very good place in my life. Probably the best place I've ever been.

Overall, yes! I'm pretty happy (although I don't necessarily have a "happy disposition"). I have an awesome husband, a healthy baby boy, a sweet dog, a good job and high hopes for the future. Before meeting the hubs, I went through a pretty lonely period which makes me appreciate my current situation even more!

The major thing that brings me down is my family (my parents and sibs)...some of them are going through some pretty tough times and it makes me sad for them.

Oddly, yes! Despite the fact that my DH has been unemployed since April, we've been doing alright and there's a strong glimmer of hope for where our future is heading. He's started a company and there are a few opportunities that he is pursuing.

His old company is trying to file a lawsuit against him because of a non-compete he had with them, but they have no grounds because he wasn't violating it. Regardless, there was a dry spell for months (felt like eternity) where we(I) thought there was no hope in sight, and just within the past 2 weeks, he's had 3 first round interviews. Just keep praying, smiling, and hoping

@mrbee: I don't think a lot of people like to cop to being unhappy

@Mrs. Yoyo: my thoughts exactly

@mrbee: I'm the same as you Mr. Bee.

@Mrs. Yoyo: @mrbee: I think part of it is that when you’re thinking of answer to the question and you are adding up the good things in your life it helps you remember them and feel more grateful? I know that in my day to day life lately I’m not all sunshine and rainbows but when I add up the good it outweighs the bad and that makes me feel happy…even if I’ve been in a bad mood!

@mrbee: I'm not happy... lol funny to be "bragging" about this haha.

Mommyhood has been a lot harder than expected. I've had a hard time adjusting and kind of just wished I'd waited to have kids (I'm only 22). But such is life I love my son to death, and yes he does make me happy. But i think I would be happier if I felt I was doing something more meaningful. I know DH wants me to be a SAHM, but I don't want to be anymore.

Sad thing is I don't really have an opportunity to work unless I get a retail or weekend job and that would mean time away from DH and DS together on the weekends which would suck.

Idk how to be happy again at this point.

Yup! We have so much more than a lot of people. True love, a healthy happy baby, a home, jobs and wonderful family.

I consider myself lucky!

I'm not happy but I think I'm going through a little PPD.

I hate admitting to that because I have two healthy, amazing children, good health, food, a house, and DH works very hard. But lately I get sad so easily. I've become really sensitive and that's not who I am. It has to be hormone related.

I always want more and better. I feel empty when I'm alone. I'd really love to work but I can't put LO's in day care. I have realized I'm in control of my happiness though. DH and I sat down this morning and reassessed our 5 year and 10 year plan. Which helped to keep me hopeful and even a little excited. I have to remember our goals and work toward them without getting distracted.

in general, i'm happier now than i ever have been in my life. things keep getting better. i love the life that i've built with my husband, and i am fortunate to have healthy friends & family. i also think it has to do a little bit with age, i am just feeling more comfortable in my own skin and that leads to better relationships and advancement in my job. there are little things that will get me down and stress me out, but overall, i am enjoying life. we will see how this changes when baby comes!

very happy, but also very busy to sit down and appreciate it every day!

I have really been struggling with TTC, to the point where it has absolutely affected my happiness. I am really having a hard time making any meaning out of this journey and it has affected my day-to-day happiness significantly. Big picture, I should be very happy and of course I am so grateful for all that I am blessed with but...lately, I have been having trouble finding joy in my life.

I am pretty darn happy! We're getting our dream house. The girls are completely precious and I have a really solid marriage.

I do feel the work life balance tension at times, though. As I was scrambling to finish a work project today, I was desperately wishing for more time to get it done!

I'm happy I'm blessed to have the opportunity to stay home with my lovely, healthy little baby. I have a husband who works hard to provide for us. I have great pets who only pee on the carpet once in awhile If I get caught up in the details, I can find many things that stress me out and cause me anxiety, but everything that's really important is in place, and for that, I'm truly happy
