My happiest moment today:

Magical Powder for Adam’s room. Each night Adam wakes me constantly and we know how I need my 7 hours. (Some nights I forfeit my Father of the Year nomination because I get so unnerved).

So Tonight I direct AAA to stay in bed. He asks if he can come to my room and I say no and ask why he wants to disturb my sleep. He begins listing scary things like dinosaurs and flying lizards and stuff. Without missing a moment I tell him we have magic powder that will keep him safe.

I get his old baby powder from the closet and sprinkle his bed and he is thrilled he’s protected. Im happy his bed is fresh, we can use the old powder up and that I was pretty clever. Wish me a good night.

My happiest moment today:

For yesterday – going to my first house auction on the steps of City Hall. And I was the only person that showed up to bid.

But before anyone thinks I got a house for $1, understand there are opening bids and reserves that have to be met. On top it that, the house I wanted was moved to an auction in April.

Here’s why I’m so happy – I had 30 minutes of personal Q and A with the auction.com folks and learned how it all works. I’m ready to buy now.

My happiest moment today:

AAA up on time and cooperative. Dressed himself, ate his cereal and talked to me. Nice!

He took a 5 hour nap yesterday and slept all night. He’s back on track.

My happiest moment today:

Spending the morning in, with Adam. He was up at 6:30 AM and we didn’t leave the house until 1 PM. He asked ” can we stay home today”. Yep!

He dressed himself 5 days in a row, got his new train piece and we watched movies and played. Toast for breakfast and a lazy morning. Perfect.

AAA dressed himself 5 days in a row.

Not even 4 and doing a great job.

The reward was Cranky the Crane for his train set. ( and daddy not being so cranky in the mornings too )

My happiest moment today:

Sitting down with Adam to read all of his valentines. We talked about each one. This is a fun age. His favorites was the one that turned into panda glasses and the scratch and sniff one.

Yes- I had the valentines on the counter since the 15th and just now sat with him. I realized that I hadn’t shown him how to sit and read and appreciate.

Although late, we got it done and it was fun.

So, I’m concentrating real estate this morning. The oddest thing happened

Instead of getting the answer to what I’m searching for, I hear a song. (this happens to me sometimes).

There is beauty all around,
when there’s love at home
There is joy in every sound,
When there’s love at home

I had not thought about that little primary song in years. And I still don’t know whether or not I should sell the house. Haha.
