Million Dollar Mommy

Today was a great day.

It actually started off last night, when Rose only woke once (at 4am)! Yay, Rose! I'm loving that she loves her thumb now. Then my 7am client cancelled late yesterday, so I got to take my time getting to work.  I had a super busy, very productive, and quite rewarding/fulfilling rest of the day. I left on time (something which is new to me, as normally I would just stay as late as I needed to so I could feel "done" - now I'm trying to leave at a set time, even if it means my desk isn't completely clear at the end of the day). I eagerly hurried home, froze today's milk (see below), then walked over to Rose's daycare. 

If our freezer ever dies, I will cry and cry and cry. For weeks. Perhaps even months.

I chatted with Rose's teachers, soaking in their excitement about what a great girl she is. (I never get tired of hearing other people rave about her!) We walked home and Rose took a little rest while I made dinner and washed all the bottles and pump parts. Then we got to play together for a bit before Mike got home. She entertained herself in her bouncy chair while we ate, then we gave her a bath. She ate her evening meal, and now seems to be fast asleep (knock on wood!).

What a great day! I feel like a Million Dollar Mommy. I know not every weekday will be this great, but today was the kind of day that I hoped for when I tried to predict how it would feel to be a working mom. I'm just so happy with life right now!!

P.S. On another note, I changed the title of this blog. I have no time for long Ramblings any more, but I do have time for updates on Life with Rose!
