My Day
Day: 19th Aug
1 thing I want to remember about today ... Callum picking up the crayons and helping ELM and I clean up for thefirst time! He was so cute, just looked like "Hey, I know what's going on here.." and Eieligh and I saying - "yay!!!" every time. He thought he was so cool.
What was most challenging today ... Putting Cal to bed - he is not going down so easy! Letting him cry for a few minutes after I put him in teh crib. Need to get a chair for his room so he can settle down in there instead of our room.
What made me the happiest ... Realizing that ELM and CRM were truly adjusting to and thriving in their new schools. We made the right choices! Eileigh's teacher emailed me and said that she was doing great - she even helped the new girl in class by showing her around and showing her her favorite puzzle! What a doll.
My day in one word ... Happy
My awesome accomplishment for the day ... Making time to do "homework" with Cal and Eil. And folding clothes.

1 thing I want to remember about today ... Making and eating fish tacos for dinner with the WHOLE family. What a treat! I can't believe ti could actually be like this every day now that Hubby isn't coaching. How could I consider giving this up for a job?!?
What was most challenging today ... Kept discovering some mistakes I made at work. Grrr!! Can't beat myself up, though. What's done is done and we can fix it. Dealing with a STRESSED out colleague on a mean day. Glad she's off tomorrow! I love her, but she needs it!!
What made me the happiest ... Cooing over the listings house shopping w/ P and designating our top ones!! EEE I'm so excited!

1 thing I want to remember about today ... Eileigh was a really good girl b/c I made the effort to involve her in everything I was doing today.
What was most challenging today ... When Callum barfed on me just as Eil knocked over the baby food doing the 3 yr old leg flailing thing. Gotta get a highchair.
What made me the happiest ... Eileigh making Callie laugh so hard with joy - just by watching her run around.
My day in one word ... Peaceful
My awesome accomplishment for the day ... Cleaned the toilets!! Fashioned bootleg toilet-paper scrubber brush (forgot to buy disposable scrubbers @ WMT today). Wildly impressed with my resourcefulness.
