I read your vent post hoopinglady and I'm so sorry that you are going through this right now. Somedays to find happiness or 1 good thing we have to reach, and I mean reach wayyyyyy down to find something. You found that one thing and that is the start. Get a good nights sleep and I know you'll have a fresh start that will lead to an awesome day tomorrow.

Lets see, there were struggles but nothing like I experienced the last two months. The last two weeks have been totally awesome!happyfacehappyface
1. Woke up-its something my husband and I always say. If we didn't that would be the start to a totally bad day!
2. Kids loved the pita/hummus sandwiches I made today.
3. Weather turned out sunny and cold-love days like that.
4. Was able to pick my daughter up from school. Was going to send older daughter but thought no, I want to pick her up, so I did.
5. Worked on widdling the clothes pile down that is in the corner of my room. I so bad want a beautiful room that is a nice retreat for my husband and I.
6. Was able to spend the day reading things concerning some wonderful friends that are in the same profession as me-Go childcare providers-happyfacehappyfaceEach day is a fresh start

It's 9 PM and my daughter is playing happily in her room with her door shut. Yes, this is past her bedtime, but the key word there is "happily". She is not requiring me to lay with her, she is not throwing a fit, she is happy. She also asked permission--"Can I play in my room until my eyes are sleepy? I'll put all my toys away when I'm done!" and the permission was granted.
My son is on the floor being 6 months old, which is to say, not currently asleep and instead crawling around finding stuff to chew on. But then again, he too is happy, which is good.
I am getting a few things done. This too, makes me happy. Lullaby music on Pandora, chores getting done, children happy...who cares about the clock? This is why I do what I do for a living. They are usually both asleep by now. What's one night? This is why I do what I do.Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!Comment

December 6th: Today the DH pulled the Christmas tree out and set it up for me (we use an artificial pre-lit tree). It's standing in our living room in all it's glory. I LOVE Christmas I think mostly because I get to decorate and that's what the DC kids and I get to do today. Yay!!Comment

Over the weekend: Some friends made a surprise visit and my mom brought over soup! It was great having wonderful company and free food!
Started a new routine on Monday: Breakfast at 8am then lunch at 11 and nap at 1. This allows us more play time between food breaks and allows us to get outside after lunch when it actually gets over 20! The kids have responded well to it.
Yesterday: Pulled out most of the toys from storage and resorted them all now that I have figured out the curriculum I am going to follow for 2012. I set aside one bin per theme and after all the bins were empty and labeled I just started filling them up again. The kids helped sort everything and I refilled the bins during nap time.
Today: weather was a bit warmer and so I got the kids out at 9am and 11:45! They were out pretty quick for nap today!Celebrate! :

I finally got the cubbies organized. It was one of those looming project that was stressing me out. I got all of the nap blankets in the totes, a full tote of extra clothes and a full kitchen bag of goodwill donations.
I know, I'm a mess. What a relief though.

It started out rough and ended rough with a few but we made it!happyface Didn't do any preschool today, that went right out the window. We did though play a great game of memory and then went on to do playdough while I made lunch. They had a blast while doing that.
One of my moms was called in for evening shift and asked if I could watch little one at like 3:30 till 5:00 or so I said sure because this one lights the room up when they walk in. It was the perfect ending to the day. The rough ending ones left a little earlier than this one did so it was very nice to have a quiet ending to the day.
Tomorrow is always the start to a new day!Each day is a fresh start

December 7th: I was asked to be a part of our child care association's board and I was so excited!! I'll mostly be in charge of advertising and such but what a great addition to my resume
.
We had our daycare association's Holiday party/board meeting last night at a restarant and I won a Radio Flyer My First Scooter (age 2+) and a mini facial in a raffle!!
The DC kids and I also finished trimming the tree earlier in the day and it looks wonderful!! The kids were all so proud and glad that they could help. One DC family can't afford a tree this year so the 2 siblings were really excited to help trim ours (this was the main reason why I involved the DC kids).Comment

I have found my Christmas spirit!!
I have been feeling very grinchy and cynical recently.
My youngest kids are teen girls (15 and 17) We gave away 3 turkeys over Thanksgiving and they loved it so much they want to do more.
Completely on their own they decorated a big box, filled it with all the fixings for a complete holiday meal and gave it to our church leader to donate to whoever he deems in need. They also came home from the mall with two Angel Tree cards and are off this weekend to buy for the children on the cards. All this using their own allowance and they are excited to do it.
Tis' the Season!!!!!!

Yesterday: I had a small group since two of my kids were home with their dad who had the day off, and I didn't have to go anywhere or do anything after work yesterday, plus hubby took me out to dinner, so I didn't even have to cook. Sweet.
Today: We made those cute popsicle stick snowflake ornaments that someone from here posted on their pinterest board. The kids were so engrossed and excited about making them. I can't wait for them to dry (my groups just loves, loves, loves their glue :
so their parents can see them

Had a great interview last night and a new client starting soon!
I'm also feeling very thankful I can afford to only have three kids at a time. I love the one-on-one I can provide for them and love how easy that one-on-one makes it when correcting behaviors.
Celebrate! ::Comment
