This morning was not excellent. I was up until midnight taking care of work, up at two with a hungry preschooler, and awake until five when she got her second wind. I was behind on deadlines and feeling the pressure of a home that needed a clean-up and a table that hadn't seen a family meal in a few days.

So, sicktiredcranky as I was, I was anything but FEELing excellence today. I make it a practice to outthink the yucky days wuth exercise, good food, and positive people. I make it a habit to shut out the yucky thoughts that want to trap me by seeking out the TRUTH. But today, I just wanted to shut my eyes and take a nap. :) Seriously.

So, I played with S in tiny bursts. I turned on a movie we could snuggle and watch. (Ever try to snuggle a non-snuggler? It must be the equivalent of roping muddy piglets at the rodeo...) I slipped in and out of consciousness as I thought about all of those things I should be doing.

And then it occurred to me. Tomorrow or today. I have the choice. I can put things in perspective, or put them off. So, I took a quick nap when hubs had come home and eaten. I got up, made some of those phone calls, and made a list of what had to wait.  And you know what? At the end of the day, I feel pretty good about this day. I made progress.  I kept my commitments. I had mommy-daughter time.  I have a few minutes to go sit with hubs. Life is good.
