7. It would be higher if I was getting a little more sleep. One day...

It definitely depends on how you define happy. I voted very high. Overall I'm in a wonderful place in my life. But this is actually my bad time of year for depression, so it seems kind of weird to vote high. But I don't consider unhappiness the same as depression.

An 8. Higher with more sleep

I voted 6, but I'd say it's trending up. I've had a lot going on lately, including back surgery scheduled for tomorrow, a medication change to get ahold of my panic attacks, and a new diagnosis/treatment plan for ADHD, all since the new year. It's been a lot to handle, but we are working on it.

I know that there is a lot of good going on in life right now-LO is fun, DH got a promotion/raise, money isn't quite as tight, and we have a new apartment that we love. Also, we are TTC later again this year. I just have to get healthy first!

I voted 8. But I think that I am a person who is generally pretty content. Some things in the past have made me unhappy, but right now the only big thing making me unhappy is that we have all been sick constantly since LO started daycare. But I see that as a passing struggle not like, a big life thing. So I didn't ding any points for that. I voted 8 because of 10 because I think in general I'd be happier if I could get on top of my health (weight) and of course... I'd love if we made a bit more money. But that's like-- ideal world stuff. I'm happy and content at 8.

I said 6, mostly because I'm extremely high sleep needs and I have a 3 month old . If you had asked a month ago I would have said 4 lol, so it is trending up....did I mention I'm tired?

@LovelyPlum: thinking of you. I hope everything goes smoothly for you tomorrow.

@jhd: thank you!!

@LovelyPlum: omgosh good luck! Message me where will you be? Do you need someone to watch LO?

I voted 6. I'm seriously sleep deprived. A is almost 12 months old and has always slept terribly (3-5 wake ups a night). I night weaned him a little bit ago and that has changed nothing. If I could get some sleep I'd definitely be an 8 or 9.

Voted 8. We are all healthy and happy. DH's career is demanding, but we've adjusted. We just got back from our first family vaca with DS2 and are recharged to tackle life and enjoy the warmer months ahead. But, there's always not so good days and always room for growth in all areas!

10, I am so grateful and hopeful right now.
@delight:

A ten. I have two happy and healthy children and a husband who loves me. We both have good jobs and are in a comfortable place. I really don't want to take for granted how extremely fortunate we are to have those things. Could I use more sleep? For sure (I have a threenager and a newborn). But in the grand scheme of life that seems pretty minor.

Honestly I voted a 4.

Totally depends on the day. It varies from 4-8 if I'm being honest.

I voted 8 yesterday, but this morning is a solid 9 because today is the first time I get to spend a whole day with DD without anyone feeling sick (her preschool is closed). It's been wonderful so far! We just had a picnic with fruits and she's QUIETLY PLAYING ON HER OWN while Mommy has her coffee. Omg, please someone pinch me!

It would be a full on 10, if I just finished my thesis (not within my control at the moment). It's only 10am here, so this number can only go down as the day goes on

I voted 8. I think there are days I feel like a 3-4 probably, and some days a 9-10, so I think in general a 7-8 is probably right.

@LCTBQE: right back at you!

I'm a 6 right now. Emotionally 3 year old and an out of work husband brings me down a bit. Maybe this summer, when M is 4, better things will come our way?
