Small Victories: 10/3 to 10/12

This will be my last Small Victories post for awhile. I'm to a point now where most of my small victories are becoming everyday occurences. I feel like most of my small victories are now just repetetive. That being said, there are some awesome things in this last batch of wins:

Friday 10/3
* Today I decided that we'd have a trial run of me taking Jayna to Summer and leaving her ALL day. I did it! I got to Summer's by 7:45am and the went back home without Jayna. While I was home, I did NOT catch up on sleep. I did NOT sit and enjoy the quiet peacefulness of an empty house. I played music very loudly and cleaned the house top to bottom. I also worked on the tree enough to finish it by Saturday. There are 4 victories in there...getting somewhere on time, leaving my baby all day, cleaning the whole house and painting the tree. Yay, me!!

* Jayna slept good tonight for 7 hours straight.

Saturday 10/4
* Jayna slept 8 hours tonight.

* I got to sleep in until 8am...that is after a 6am feeding.

* We bought a travel swing off of Craigslist today. Now I won't have to tote the bouncy seat everyday to Summer's!

* We, of course, went to the grocery and Jayna was a saint.

* We had a very nice and relaxing bedtime tonight.

Sunday 10/5
* Today the tree went up on the wall!! It's finally finished and I have a dining room again!

* I went to the gym for 45 minutes today. Walked 3.5 mph...I need to do this more often! You know, in all my SPARE time.

* Jayna and I slept well last night.

Monday 10/6
* Today was my first day back to work. :( I was only 8 minutes late!!

* Jayna slept from 9pm to 5 am. Yay!

* I only called Summer 3 times all day. That's amazing for it being my very first day at work.

* I went to lunch with my husband!! I've missed lunchtime with him everyday.

Tuesday 10/7
* I was on time to work today...on time by the second day back!!

* I went to the gym again today. Fun times...and exhausting!

* We had a happy Jayna this evening. No fussing during dinnertime and a good bedtime.

* I froze some milk today. This is HUGE!!

Wednesday 10/8
* I was on time again today. Two days in a row?? No way!!

* We had no fussing during dinner again! I got hot dinner two days in a row!! Yum!

* Jayna slept until 5am this morning. Yay!

Thursday 10/9
* Jayna was very good on the way home today. We'd been having some fussing on the way home because she wants to eat as soon as I get to Summer's. Well, I had Summer feed her at 3pm today, so she was good until we got home.

* We had a wonderful bedtime tonight...even though I had to feed her again at 9:50pm.

* I got to watch 50 uninterrupted minutes of Grey's Anatomy. I almost made it through a whole episode!!

* I did some laundry today. That's always a victory.

Friday 10/10
* Jayna was good on the way home again.

* We had a good bedtime.

* I got some dairy free ice cream sandwiches...mint chocolate chip. And much to my surprise, they are delicious!!!

Saturday 10/11
* Grocery day...Jayna was good. I got some more dairy free ice cream called Peanut Butter Zig Zag. It's sooo good!! I'd eat this even if I could eat dairy!

* This is HUGE...Jayna didn't spit up at ALL today!! Hooray!

* Chris put Jayna to bed with a bottle tonight. She did wonderfully! Yay! Now I can leave her with a babysitter and maybe Chris and I can get out of the house!!

Sunday 10/12
* Did some laundry today. Yay...

* I got alot of computer stuff done today. I had TONS of pictures to upload to various sites. It's all done now!

* We went to the apple orchard today. It was HOT!! We got some apples, some cider and some Hoshi pears. I highly recommend the pears even if you don't like pears! They are delicious!!

* We had another wonderful bedtime tonight. This is becoming the norm. The ratio has definitely shifted from more bad to more good. And thank goodness for that!!
