What's In A Good Day Anyway

Facebook is a funny tool if you think about it. Thanks to facebook I can generally see who has had a good day and who has had a not so good day which is funny in itself because it has had me wondering what really constitutes a "good day". I can tell you that when I was working I "knew" a good day from a bad day. A good day was classified as overall problem free and at the end of the day all of my work was finished and I had a clean slate, so to speak, to start the next day....now THAT was a good day!! Well since I started staying home I think I have lost my concept of what actually makes a good day. When your job is taking care of two other little souls under the age of five there is NO such thing as a problem free day...no way...no how...SOMETHING always happens and NOTHING goes according to plan....and on top of that my work is NEVER done...being a mom is a 24 hour job and my slate is never clean. I recently asked Brooke what a mom's job was to which she replied: to drive us places, take care of babies, cook us food and clean the house. SO basically I am a chauffeur, nanny, chef and a maid all without pay...how does that make any day good?! Well as I read status updates on facebook I have realized I have been in need of a "good day attitude adjustment" and that it is not lack of problems or completed tasks that make (or have ever made for that matter) a day good. MY day is GOOD because I woke up with a breath in my lungs to two healthy children who count on me to drive them places, take care of them, cook them food and clean their house...now THAT is a good day!!!
