Day 979: Sleep When You Can

Ah, such good advice...


Darling A is a strict adherent.

We've recently started setting her in the high chair during dinner.  It reclines way back, so she does alright in it.  Tonight she decided it was a great place to sleep.  If you could only gear the chaos that was going on all around her...

I wish she could have been more like this last night.  Last night was the worst and most interrupted night's sleep I've had since we brought her home from the hospital.  I actually skipped the gym this morning.  If you know me, you know how big of a deal that is.

Fortunately, today was the first day of a weekly toddler co-op my friends and I are doing.  So, I got to drop Baby B off and go grocery shopping with only Darling A in tow.  That was a Joyful Moment.  As is having  a week long menu of dinners and all of the ingredients on hand to make them.

I'll be honest--today was rough.  But, we survived.  And now I'm going to go to bed and probably be asleep before three of my four children.  That would be a Joyful Moment as well.

Wishing you all a Joyful Moment and to all a good night!

I do hope you slept well. You deserve it! Of course, mom's deserve much more than they receive some of time. :) They also receive much more than THEY think they deserve from time to time. Enough of my philosophizing...

My friend, the orthopoeidst, called this evening to tell me that all the foot specialist he spoke with today agreed that the right treatment for my broken bone is non-surgical. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for that news!

Mom--You already know--I didn't. But, it's okay because you're--I'm getting a lot in return here.

And I'm relieved to hear that too! We're praying for you!

She's so beautiful and peaceful in that photo! My JM yesterday was just having a wonderful, full day with my family. Went on a bike ride with my kids in the morning, waged war on the weeds in my garden, finally cleaned the kitchen counter of the hundred papers that were on it, and went swimming with my older 3 kids in the evening. Haven't had a day like that in a long while, so I really enjoyed it.

Way to go! I love days like that!
