The perfect day.

Do you ever have the perfect day?  It's that day where you are productive at work, you get dinner on the table on time, your kids are not whiny and just super cute, and you actually like your husband... the day where you feel like super-mom and super-wife and super-homemaker and super-VP.

Yesterday I had a pretty perfect day.  Everything went my way.  I woke up, had a quiet morning coffee and headed into work.  I locked down a replacement phone even though in the beginning it was on back order indefinitely, made a couple sales calls, filed emails and got organized for the week ahead.  I stayed focused at work all day (even if some of that focus was on buying a new phone case or using my lunch break to shop for baby shower gifts).  None of the day was "wasted" by not being productive.  I got out of work on time.  I was in my car by 4 pm on the way home.  When I got home, I changed quickly, packed a diaper bag and wrestled two kids in the car to head for the gym.  Coincidentally my kids think the gym daycare is a "treat" so its pretty easy to get them into the car.  When I got to the gym, I ran for a bit and then I went into what I thought was a short, easy 30 minute class.  Come to find out, it was 50 minutes and hard as hell.  But, I pushed through and I felt good after.  I wrestled two kids back into the car (a large challenge since they didn't want to leave even though I know they are tired and hungry).  Dinner was grilled wild Alaskan salmon, rice, and spinach salad with strawberries, nuts, and blue cheese - not takeout or a frozen meal.  The kids laughed at the table and loved the food.  We all bathed.  We snuggled under blankets and read stories in our master bedroom before kisses and bedtimes.  Once the kids were in bed, hubby and I snuggled under blankets and watched house hunters.  We headed to bed and performed the maritals.  I layed in bed afterwards thinking about how well the day had gone and how accomplished I felt as I listened to him drift off to sleep. 

I'd say I rocked Monday and it felt good.  I can honestly say I was a great mom, wife, cook, and co-worker and I even took some time for myself.  I know this won't happen every day, but I've gotta take credit when it does.  So many moms don't take credit for these small victories in such a hectic life.

I rocked Monday so hard that this morning I folder two loads of laundry at 5:45 am before coming to work.  I'm determined to rock Tuesday as well!  So far, so good but its only 10 am!
