Day 259

Another day down.  Today was one of those days where, as a mom, I ran around doing lots and lots of errands.  I feel like I did so much, but then I come home and take one look at my house and think...what the heck did I DO today?  My goal this week is to pick up....with one arm....5 things that I see needed to get picked up.  Maybe I can inspire my kiddos to do the same this week and at least we can keep the house looking like a bomb went off and not worse lol.

  • I did lunch with just Connor today.  It was a nice mother/son lunch and I hope he enjoyed it as much as I did.
  • Joel and I helped make his lunch together.  He loves being in the kitchen and I think he feels a sense of accomplishment when he makes something.
  • I got to take a brief nap today....since I have been having bad insomnia lately...I am grateful for any amount of extra sleep I can get!
  • After naps, Connor, Joel, and I played in Connor's room with a bunch of different blocks.  For the most part, the boys played nicely together and Joel was so cute as he built a block tower and says, "I am SO creative!" No self esteem issues in that kiddo and I am so proud of him!
  • We had a nice family meal tonight and Joel went around the table asking each one of us how our day was...so cute that he gets what family dinner time is about!
  • Connor asked for lots of extra kisses tonight.  How can I resist?  Putting my boys to bed is one of the happiest parts of my day...guaranteed snuggle time and kisses, reading stories, and laughing.  It will all be gone too soon....
Well, there are my happy thoughts today in a nutshell.  I am hoping to head to bed early tonight and that sleep will find me.  It has been pretty stressful this week so far with life's concerns, but as we take it one HOUR at a time right now, I am focusing on the good, and trying to accomplish all that this mommy needs to get done!
