Most days around here are filled with confusion and delay. Someone loses a shoe on the way from the house to the car, Jack has a meltdown because he cannot live in a tree, I realize Em has a poopy dipe as I'm putting her in the car seat and I look like something that the cat dragged in. Then in the shuffle of all this I've lost the keys and by the time I find them it's almost lunch time so let's just forget it.
But not today.
Today I not only got a shower, I actually put on makeup. I'm not wearing track pants. Everyone has brushed their teeth. We got to the car without any delay. We got to the library and even though it was pouring cats and dogs I got a parking space RIGHT IN FRONT.
Jack was on his best behavior while we were there. He played nicely and shared trains at the train table and neither ran nor shouted. Emma decided for once to stay on the children's side and play/read; I did not have to spend the entire time chasing after her up and down the aisles of books dodging disapproving looks from the retirees who spend their mornings there. Neither one of them pitched a fit when it was time to go.
I'm still in shock. Also a little anxious now because you just know I am going to pay for this later. I have images of me cleaning poop off the rug while on hold with the electric company because we have water coming in through the electrical panel in the basement and then they do come on the line but I can't hear them because Jack is crying once again about the whole not being able to live in a tree thing and then an anvil falls on my head...
But you know what? It would be worth it.
