1. After a downpour in our bathtub the last time it rained, Dustin was able to crab-walk the very steep roof and make some repairs. Today looks like it might bring rain, so I'm thrilled that our home will be well-sheltered.
2. The dishwasher works again!!! Although I have cleaned it semi-regularly to decalcify it all, many of our friends told us it was just shot from the hard water here. I decided to attempt to prove them wrong. After removing the racks and bringing a screwdriver into the job, Dustin quickly stepped in the repair it himself. Good thing too. He had that thing torn apart in ways I would have been intimidated to do, and the pump is once again its happy self.
3. Visiting a friend today and her new baby. New baby smell makes every moment great!
4. Crazy busy Saturday tomorrow, and the great thing is that it should all fit in just perfectly! It's almost as if everyone checked my schedule to plan all of the events. Thanks, friends.
5. Aidan went to school yesterday without crying, kicking, or screaming. He waved to me with a cheesy smile (mimicking my over-the-top attitude in preparing him, I'm sure.) That event alone could make my week!

Manic Monday: Formula
A formula is simple and clear method of expressing information, usually to come up with a desired outcome. Everywhere you look there is a "formula for" something.
Formula for Happiness
Formula for Misery
Formula for Life
Formula for Success
Formula for Failure
I can thank years of Allgebra for the math link in all of this. A formula is like a certain equation.
In my observances, all variables in a formula lead to a focus. If you are solving for "x", x is the focus and all other variable are manipulated to discover the "x". In a formula for happiness, happiness is the focus. All variable are manipulated to that goal, or end result. So, whether our focus is pro-active or passive, our variables will be manipulated to achieve the end result, every thought and action we make will be trying to "solve for x."
So, my Formula for happiness, love, and success is to keep the focus on the the proper "x". I can't solve for "y" and still figure out the "x". I'm hoping that my thoughts, actions, and words are being manipulated to achieve the happiness and success that I desire in my own life, for my family, and for the future. If I skip a step in the formula, I may cause some frustration for myself and have to go back and find out where I made an incorrect assumption, but it will all work out as long as the focus stays the same.
"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end."
