I used to get a sense of accomplishment from delivering a patient during my 12 hour shift. Or from making staffing work out when there were too little nurses and too many patients. I felt like I had really accomplished something after managing a severe preeclamptic or delivering the occassional baby without a doctor.
Today I felt that same sort of feeling. I had spent almost two hours in Walmart doing a major shopping run with both kids. We got everything we needed without a problem. Other shoppers stopped occassionally to compliment how cute or well behaved my kids were. (Oh, if they only knew!) Then I managed to push two carts full of kids and groceries through the icy parking lot to the car. It was the best Walmart run I've done with the kids so far. Everything went as planned.
As I peeked at the kids in my rear view mirror I felt accomplished and it felt good!
The Thing I Have Been Wondering

It has been a rough year. That is no lie. We have had one challenge after
another, and if this were a dark comedy one would recognize that it has
been fun...

Wow! What an awesome accomplishment. I still get nervous taking Taryn to Wal-mart by myself, and it's just usually for a couple of things. A quick in and out. Too bad, there's no degree, or letters to put behind your name for being an awesome Mommy, b/c you deserve it!!
