On a Good Day…….

On a Good Day…….

1. The homework is started and completed within 40 minutes of coming home from school with only two do-your-homework yells.

2. We make pasta from scratch for the very first time, WITHOUT a pasta machine. Create raviolis stuffed with whatever is in the fridge, cook and eat every single, solitary one. Personally, the PB&J ravioli was one I could do without, but hey, he liked it.  However, I had to veto letting him put tomato sauce on that one.

3. There is no basketball, Hebrew school or birthday parties.

4. There is no laundry to do. There are no spills, broken objects or massive messes to clean up.

5. There are no work tragedies, complicated emails to return or domestic malfunctions.

6. My car passes inspection despite the cracked tail light (from the hit and run at the supermarket a few weeks ago) and the inspection line was only 5 minutes long.

7. My son goes to bed without a fight. What’s up with THAT?

8. The tooth fairy is on duty and actually had cash in her wallet. This makes tooth number 5 inside of 2 months. What he is chewing food with is beyond me, especially having just eaten the thickest raviolis ever made.

Today was a GOOD day! Hope yours was too!

    That does sound like the most awsome day ever!!
    Good for you. Hope you have many more of those to come.
    Mind you, this morning Trinity decided to scrub the kitchen floor for me. Just like that, right out of the blue.

    Perhaps we woke up in Bizarro world or something today? Hope it lasts.

    Wow. These days don’t come often. Happy for you! So did tooth fairy bring an i-something this time? ;-) I am afraid to ask: all this… your husb is still out of town, eh? LOL.

    Wow, that was a super day!! I’m not that lucky to have all those things go right in one day! The PB&J ravioli sounds a little yucky but that’s probably why my kids would eat it.

    Hope you’re having another great day!

    That IS a good day – especially the homework and go to bed part. Oh and the no after school stuff. Those three things keep me running all week (including later today).

    My daughter just lost one of her molars tonight although she has been wiggling it steadily for the past two days. (She knows about the tooth fairy now so she actually walked up to me and held out her hand! I told her that it still works the same even if she knows…)

    Seriously? Handmade pasta? NO way! Can you do that?
    Oh, and our toothfairy? Does not do a good job. Always late and short on cash.

    Wow, that was a good day!! And I want to try that PB&J ravioli. That’s intriguing and definitely less foul than plancenta, that’s for sure. PS Thank you for all the thoughtful, witty, clever, and sweet comments you have left me on my bloggy lately! I really appreciate you. And I heart your bloggy as well:)

    FIVE teeth in two months??? WOW!! Poor kid, how can he eat!?

    And I am still waiting for the day when I don’t have a ton of laundry to do. I don’t know what it is, but it seems like as soon as I get all caught up, I somehow get behind the very next day! ARRRGG!
