'Feel Good' days..

You know the kind of days I'm referring to - the ones that you accomplish almost everything you set out to do at the start of the day and still have some left in your tank to really pat yourself in the back and bask in your self glory a little bit before you hit the bed. What I have discovered is that over the years you add more and more to your juggling act (esp. after having kids) and you do get better at it with time and experience. I have to admit that my definition of a 'feel good' day has evolved over the years.

Yesterday was one of my 'feel good' days and I really wish I had more of them. The day didnt start off too well since I started a little late for work but I managed to feed Rhea before I left, wash her bottles from the night and pack both mine and Aji's lunches. Our fruit basket was almost empty from the weekend and I was dreading the magnetic pull to the vending machine at work but i managed to distract myself with a jolly rancher (hard candy) and steer myself away from the evil vending machine (which in itself is a huge accomplishment) the entire day. I got off work at my usual time and even made a quick trip to the mall to pick Rhea's baptism portraits (luv the light traffic days ...wish everyday was like that!!!). Picked up sean who was in great spirits and he was doubly happy when I gave him a candy and we proceeded home. No last minute grocery shopping to do YAY!!! Got home and Sean was good and drank his milk which some days I have to coax him to drink and Rhea as usual was her chirpy self. Watched some new movie songs on Surya TV and sent Daddy and Mummy for a walk. Sean was a happy camper watching 'Snow Whitea nd the seven dwarfs'. I played with Rhea for a while...lots of giggles and squeals. After Daddy and Mummy got back I sneaked out for my jog (Sean is not very happy when i go out jogging as he want s to come with me). Felt so good to be out there...it was pleasant and perfect running weather. Got back and by then mummy fed Rhea her cereal. I gave Sean a quick bath and dinner (Appam and Stew) which he ate well(he was starving). Aji was working late which was a bummer. I showered, inhaled dinner (since it was Rhea's bedtime and she was beginning to get cranky) and got both the kids to bed by the time he got home. I think anyday I can get my workout in is 'sweet bliss' for me...wish everyday was like this or better....one can always strive right!
