Whenever I'm having a hard day, when things just aren't going quite right, I like to make a list of what makes me happy.
Today, it's not a long list, but so much happiness comes from these things.
1. I'm grateful for Portia. She gets herself mostly ready for school by herself every morning, is so very helpful with Elena all the time, and is very patient with her poor overwhelmed mama. Today, Portia came home and reminded me that tomorrow is picture day. I had completely forgotten. Way to be on top of things, kiddo.
2. I'm grateful for Margot. She is my little helper all day. She is constantly grabbing me a diaper or putting laundry away for me, and usually does it with a great attitude. And she is so sweet with her baby sister! She is such a great big sister!
3 I'm grateful for Brandon. Elena and I had a rough night last night. She was very fussy, and couldn't get settled until about 3 am. Which means, I didn't get to sleep until 3 am. This morning, we were obviously exhausted. Brandon, wonderful, glorious man that he is, hung out with Margot and sent Elena and I back to bed!
Even though he is swamped with school, somehow he still finds the time to help me out when I really need it. Man, I love that guy!
And lastly, #4 is Elena. She is clingy and allergic to sleep, but soooo sweet. Look at that face!
I've got a good life.
