Redefining "A Good Day"

Now that I'm home on maternity leave with a baby, I've had to redefine my thoughts on what constitutes a good day.

Right now, a good day involves:
* 5 uniterrupted hours of sleep
* getting a shower
* not getting pooped/peed/spit up on
* getting some sort of dinner made
* picking Alex up on time from school

A really good day involves:
* hair dried and curled
* makeup applied
* doing things around the house

A super good day involves:
* leaving the house other than picking Alex up from school
* visits from friends or going to meet friends

Honestly it's the little things right now that make me happy. Clean clothes. Clothes that fit. Clean hair. Peace and quiet with Adam, and then later in the afternoon with Alex. I've gotten a little reading done here and there. I've figured out that I can crochet while nursing Adam. It's great because I'm spending quality time with the boys and getting a few things done for me as well.

I like this. It reminded me of those precious 'baby days', now long gone.
