For eight days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag eight people to do the same.
I'm not tagging anyone, so do it if you feel so inclined. Or don't, see if I care! ;P
1. Finally took the stuff back to Target that I bought before the Superhero 5k and wound up not needing. Hurray for an extra $50 right before the holidays. Used it to take care of most of the kids on my list.
2. Got Jonah to nap. Guess the secret is to drag him somewhere with me right after lunch and wear him out. He fell asleep in the car after we left Target, so I cut my day of errands short and went straight home. He was out/tired enough not to wake up much as I carried him in the house and took off his jacket and shoes to get him in bed. He slept until about 5:30 and was in a much better mood last night than he had been in quite a while.
3. Watching Jonah and Maya, the little girl across the street play. And not to be smug about it or anything, but I was really proud of how he handled himself. I've gotten some sporadic reports from school of hitting and toy snatching and just recently biting. But it was Maya who would hit him if he tried to come play with a toy she was playing with. He was doing a good job of sharing and trying to play with her, but she's a few months younger and not there yet I guess. It was about 20 or 21 months when I first got hitting reports, and that's how old she is, so I'm sure she'll grow out of it just like he did. But it was nice to see him not react adversely to her aggression. He just looked at her like, "what was that?!" They were so silly though, at first just running around screaming and with the dogs and such too, it was so chaotic for the first 20 minutes or so. They eventually settled down enough to play with some Duplo blocks and the Magnadoodle and do some quieter constructive things.
4. The new Blue Coast Burrito is open at Nashville West! YAY!!! That means we don't have to drive all the way over to the 100 Oaks area just to get a Baja fish burrito fix. And we also have another option on nights we go to Costco and need to grab dinner while we're out. No more resorting to Red Robin (blech!). I'm really surprised there aren't more restaurants down there. There's a Logan's Roadhouse going in next door to Red Robin, but I'm not excited about that either. But I'm totally happy about Blue Coast.
5. I realized it's literally been years since I set foot in a Wal-Mart. As in probably right around 2 years.
6. It was very minimal effort to participate in the cookie swap at Jonah's school yesterday. All I had to do was drop the cookies off in the teacher's lounge. Jonah had a confused look on his face when we left and realized he wasn't going to school, but he didn't get sad or anything.
7. Crossing a lot of tasks off my to do list for the week.
8. Brandy arrives in Huntsville today!!!!
