1. Grocery shopping without counting pennies.  It feels indulgent, even at Aldi.

2. A nursing baby. Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it.

3. A non-nursing toddler. I love seeing tandem nursing moms. And I love not being one.

4. The Iowa Public School system.  Free, safe education is a great thing.

5. Public television. Except for Dragon Tails. Shut up Wheezie. 

6. The Magic Moment - when the kids are in the car, all buckled up, and I am outside the car… and it is silent. I swear sometimes we go out just so I can get this special 5 seconds of peace.

7.  Disposable diapers.  Go on, hate me, I don’t care.

8.  A husband who really gets me, even when I can tell he’d rather not.

9.  Hot showers. 

10. The new laptop The Producer bought me for my birthday.  Drooling within a 5 foot radius not allowed.

FREEBIE OF THE DAY: Ok, so I know I’ve offered you free shampoo before, but I think it’s time to wash your hair again, hippy.
