If someone asked me that- my answer would be yes.  I have some major issues I am stressing like crazy about right now.  But overall, I am happy.  What can I do to be happier?  Here are a few ideas.

1. Talk to other moms.  Sometimes I feel like I am the only one going through what I am going through.  I am stressed and worried about stuff.  Turns out- other moms are too.  It doesn’t make my problems go away but at least I know I’m normal.
2. It’s okay to admit you are stressed.  I have a hard time with this one.  But, I’ve recently realized that if I just tell my hubby that I need a break- he will usually take over and let me have a little time to myself.  And I feel so much better afterwards.
3. Go on a date with your husband.  I need to follow this advice myself.  I don’t know when our last date was.  But, I know that right now I feel like I miss my husband.  I see him everyday, but I just feel like I miss him.
4. Remember how fast these years will go by.  You so often hear, “It seems like only yesterday…”  So while you feel like you have to rush here and there to get this and that done- you don’t.  The world will keep on moving if you don’t pick up the dry cleaning or vacuum your house today.  Take that time and spend it with your kids.
