Today Was a Good Day

Yes, today was a good day. It was officially the best day that I have had as a mother of two while taking care of both boys for the whole day. Benjamin was a good boy, I was well rested, and Evan was relatively low maintenance. Evan even sat in the Baby Einstein while Benjamin entertained him. The day was going so well and I was feeling so good, that I decided to take them both to the grocery store by myself for the first time. Now this seems like no big deal to the average reader, however, I left the store with a strong feeling of accomplishment and a new surge of self-confidence. What did I buy, you ask? I purchased duck breast, wine, and milk. Yes, this day was so good that it was capped off with a nice seared duck breast served with a blueberry chipotle sauce, and a glass of pinot noir. 


 But between the triumphant trip to the store and the lovely duck, there was a luxurious hour spent underneath our pergola on an absolutely gorgeous spring day. Benjamin ran in the sparkling sunlight as I gazed out at the field filled with wildflowers, and our own backyard filled with expectant rose bushes and other emerging blossoms. Benjamin looked for butterflies and we commented on the variety of birds off in the distance and flying over our heads. Evan awoke, but not to be concerned or stressed, I brought him out to the pergola and nursed him as Benjamin played independently. Yes, today WAS a good day!
