Ah-Hah Moment

I realized this afternoon that I measure my time by what I "get done".  I had quite a bit of time to "get things done" this week, but didn't "get it done".  Made me feel kind of crummy until I remembered that I had:
  •  A wonderful day on Wednesday cleaning the van with Garrett.
  • On Thursday Lincoln helped me do my shopping and get back home without getting lost.
  • Friday I had two sweet little men here keeping me safe and most of my sanity intact, in spite of a few rousing rounds of Hungry Hippos, a nice snugly time watching a sweet video with stories about the Country Mouse & the City Mouse and "just one short story" in bed . . . read upside down so that they could both see the pictures.  
  • Then a little squeeze and kiss good night as they snuggled down in the covers, closed their eyes and went to sleep.  I don't believe there was a sound after I turned out the light.
I usually have them sleep in separate rooms but didn't need to this time.  If they only knew how sweet they looked, twice as sweet as when only one of them snuggles down in that great big bed.

Tomorrow I won't "get much done" either.  Just go and be with wonderful friends while their precious children are baptized and take the Savior's name upon themselves as they move forward and upward to return to their Heavenly Father.

So I guess I did get something done after all.

Wishing you all some days when you don't "get much done!"
