Magic

This afternoon, at approximately 2 PM, both of my children napped for 2 hours and neither napped on top of me. TALK ABOUT MAGICAL. I worked in silence. And basically this came about as I was about to blow my brains out trying to read emails with both kids in my lap. Dallin won't stop touching everything within site and Lexi is singing in a toddler tone words that don't even make sense. One of those "Everyone stop or mama is going to explode". I dropped Dallin into the crib crying, told Lexi to get in my bed and we smiled as I shut the door (like who knows what she'll try to do but I'm shutting the door any way), went back to feed & rock Dallin and lay him back down in slumber and BAM both children actually stayed put and cooperated. Every mother's dream.

Successes of the day: 1) Made it on time to library preschool with only a few minor threats when it took 5 years for her to get her socks on and when she asked for a fruit pouch walking into the library. Insert eye roll and a big fat "get over it" 2) Called after to get my alignment checked and there was NO wait time so I rushed over and they resolved the issue FREE since it did have to do with that one wheel that they helped "resolve" before. Tire pressure & they switched it to the passenger side. No more veering right? Tires are in good shape he said 3) Made time for attempted ward missionary efforts that failed BUT I did it and the walk was still great 4) The said naps mentioned above 5) I actually have some ground turkey thawed out for dinner, although I haven't decided what to do with it yet.

And that's an accomplished day people... 

I'll go ahead and mention that Mr Smith vacuumed all the rooms this morning and cut the hair from the vacuum twice in that process. He might have topped me.
