baby tylenol, for making me feel less helpless when my child is hurting; the occasional mid-day nap; an education program that actually fits my schedule!; an amazing husband who always recognizes and appreciates even the tiniest accomplishment; keeping in touch with friends and family through blogs; music--it makes me happier, keeps me going, and accompanies my housecleaning; Mr. Dallin and Mr. Brandon for hosting story time and entertaining Scotty several times a week; neighbors who are home with kids and don't mind surprise visits!; random freebies on campus; ducks that never tire of bread crumbs; sweet little baby hugs (including crusty jam fingers and snotty noses); 409; a nice hot shower on a cold day; warm socks; The Little Mermaid, the cure-all of last resort parenting; Scotty, for still loving me even when I feel like a bad mom; a washer and dryer in my house!
"I have discovered that life is not a series of great heroic acts. Life at its best is a matter of consistent goodness and decency, doing without fanfare that which needed to be done when it needed to be done. I have observed that it is not the geniuses that make the differences in this world. I have observed that the work of the world is done largely by men and women of ordinary talent who have worked in an extraordinary manner."

I really like that quote, I hope it's ok if I steal it from you.
Great post. I needed that today! Thanks Meg!
How funny! Mad's favorite movie is little mermaid too. Of course, she is afraid of all the Ursula parts AND the chef parts so I pretty much have to watch it with her in order to edit the content. ugh.
Just a note on the baby tylenol (which I'm grateful for too!) Our doctor suggested that we use children's liquid tylenol because it's cheaper. Even though the packaging has doses for ages 2 and up, the doctor said just go by weight, so we use less than the smallest dose listed on the package, (filled to between 3/4 and 1 teaspoon for 20 lbs.) but it works great and the bottle lasts a lot longer!
