Great Day

Do you ever have one of those days where you feel like you just nailed it?  Like life that day, you just did good.  Did it right.

I had one of those days today.

Well right after I fought with my husband.  That didn't go so well, but that was like 9 a.m. so it doesn't even really count as part of the day yet.

After that, I went to the gym and did some mediocre cardio on the elliptical.  Oh and I had to try 3 different machines before I could get one to work.  And I started crying.

This day does NOT sound that amazing so far, but I swear it was.

Next I went to acupuncture and it was awesome of course.  Super relaxing and nappy and delightful.  I was naturally starving when I finished and was near one of my favorite Italian places so I decided to take myself to lunch.

If you've never had a meal at a restaurant by yourself, do it.  Like tomorrow.  It's the best.

So there I was with my spaghetti and meatballs and my bowl of tomato basil soup (insert drooling here.)  It was fabulous and quiet and wonderful.

Next, I went home and napped for 2 hours.  That's right.  2 hours.

Picked Bugs up from school, got him a haircut, got a snack, took him to soccer practice.  Then we came home, hung out together, did 3 pages of homework together.  Then Bugs wanted to practice his soccer skillz, so I busted out mine (I don't have any) and we played soccer together in the living room. 

We just read together for a little bit and then I had him tucked in bed at bedtime.

I feel like I'm a pretty good mom most of the time, but there are these days when I just know that I've made a memory for my son and it was GOOD.  Like soccer in the living room and cuddling with a book.

Nailed it.
