Oh what a night!

It's almost 12:30 a.m. on Sunday night. I'm having one of those moments where it feels like the planets have aligned and the heavens are smiling down upon me. (And with my post-partum stress, I needed a day like this!) I've had a very productive day and I'm proud of myself for everything that I've gotten done, especially in the last 5 hours:

• Get Kaden up and ready to spend the day with Aunt Lori and Uncle Brian
• Work the graduation ceremony at WSU (6 hours!)
• Return home to have a wonderful husband air up my tire
• Kiss hubby goodbye as he goes to work (just a tradition as he leaves)
• Cook dinner for myself
• Do 4 loads of laundry (folding, hanging up stuff and putting everything away)
• Pay bills and balance checkbook
• Do 2 loads of dishes in the dishwasher and handwash 8 bottles
• Feed/burp/rock/sing to Kaden
• Pack Kaden's bag for tomorrow to go to the sitter

I know that might not seem like very much to some people, but it's been a great evening and I feel good about myself. I also went through my closet and folded up some of my maternity clothes that I received on loan from my friend Suzanne. It feels nice to know those clothes are making their way out of my closet.

I also worked up the courage to try on some of my pre-pregnancy jeans. My American Eagle size 14 jeans didn't fit. I hoped they would but it just means that my hips haven't gone back to their pre-baby size. Not wanted to be discouraged again I took a deep breath and tried on my Gap size 12 jeans. They fit! I was so surprised and so happy that they fit. I now have 4 pairs of jeans that I can wear.
