Almost Perfect Ordinary Day

Today we had an Almost Perfect Ordinary Day. One might think that an Almost Perfect Ordinary Day comes every week or so. But sadly, no. I think it's more like once every three months.

I spent the day being thankful for each successive successful moment. Breakfast, school, lunch, nap, laundry, playing outside, grocery shopping, dinner, bedtime. I promised myself that I would at least acknowledge here that we had one; especially since I'm quicker to record the messy moments.

The last two months have been rough around here. We've been lucky to do lots of fun stuff and spend a lot of time visiting relatives. But disruption to the normal schedule is always stressful and it feels good - so good - to be looking at a more or less unscheduled calendar for a few months.
