Half Full

I have always been a "the glass is half empty" kind of person. I'm always beating myself up for choices I regret, tasks I haven't completed, goals I haven't met, and perfection I haven't achieved. I really need to change that philosophy, so, while I sit here lamenting all that I didn't get done this weekend, I'm going to list that which I did accomplish, in the hopes of slowly starting to change my outlook. So:

• I had friends over for a playdate
• I attended Eli's school art walk (it's an art show hosted by local businesses)
• I spent quality time early Saturday morning with Eli before Seth and Sadie woke up and we snuggled on the couch while I got caught up on everything he never tells me about school. :)
• I ran critical errands at Target
• I ran non-critical errands at Cost Plus and now own two matching tablecloths and a matching set of twelve napkins for when we entertain large groups (like at Thanksgiving ;))
• I made sure Eli finished all of his homework and did the parent-child assignment with him
• I took Sadie to a birthday party
• I went out to dinner with my family and had yummy Thai food
  
• I made homemade turkey-apple sausage for breakfast
  
• I packaged up a card that had been requested by Cards magazine and filled out all of the necessary accompanying paperwork
• I watched TV after the kids went to bed one night and saw an episode of "House Hunters," one of "What Not to Wear," and discovered that reality TV really has no limits when I stumbled onto "Say Yes to the Dress"
  
• I took photos of the kids for our holiday card and drafted a digital design for the card. Here are two that I love that didn't make the cut:
  

• I did two loads of laundry
• I snuggled Sadie while we watched "The Wizard of Oz" (and marveled at the fact that she wasn't really scared)
• I started two scrapbook pages
• I cheered Eli on at his basketball game

Seems to me like the glass is more than full! I ought to do a list like this every day!
