Super Mom Day

Today I managed to be a Super Mom.  It happens next to never, thus the need to document it.  Today, Thursday, August 1, with the help of two babysitters and the hinderance of an ear infection, I did it!  Proud of myself, I gotta capture this day.  Especially those zen moments when I was painting, drinking coffee, and not cursing the project whatsoever.  Numerous "ah ha's" from my :

-discovering I could drink coffee (wine next time for sure) and paint at the same time,
-remembering that work like that, knocking out a project, feels really good,
-noticing that I don't hate painting.

The puzzle pieces of the day fit together just right and I managed to adapt to changes, go with kids' flow, even play a little bit!

8:00      run my 3.1 miles, and at a faster than normal pace
(meanwhile I am soothed knowing Wylie is more than happy watching the Village tree trimmers and my ear-ache boy is fast asleep in my bed)
9:00      paint store
9:30      paint bathroom trim (all thanks to Rachel for entertaining the boys)
11:30    doctor's appointment reveals Finn has an ear infection
12:30    lunch, a show, and Wylie down for a nap all before Samantha arrived to babysit
(dash to the bathroom to finish the last bit of trim)
1:40      Samantha arrives and Finn and I exit
(quick stop at CVS to get Finn's antibiotic)
2:00     Food Pantry
4:00     Tae Kwon Do--Finn got his striped-yellow belt!
(quick stop at Walgreens to get the Pringles Finn requested for his snack)
5:00     home to relieve Samantha
6:45     Jimmy John's picnic in the backyard
(no time for a shower!)
8:00     drinks at Poor Phil's with Hauser friends
