Sometimes I catch myself stepping back and looking at the situation and just smiling.

Tonight as I sent out an invoice then stamped a check that came today (yeah, I have a badass stamper for checks) to be deposited tomorrow while listening to Slayer was one of those moments.

This was preceeded by a stupid-delicious cheesecake pudding/pie thing we made last night (Jell-O pudding and a pie crust, less than $3) and an asskicking football practice for my little guy.

It was almost enough to cancel out the bad vibes of finding out earlier in the day that my mother-in-law is coming next week…

…almost.
