Most grateful moment of the day: Working out this morning made a huge difference in my overall mood today. I haven't been to the gym in a week and almost passed it up this morning. But instead I went to my spinning class and felt like a million bucks afterward.

One thing I learned today: To trust your instincts. Jack had been complaining about his ears last night. He woke up an hour after going to bed squealing, the same way as he had when he had his other ear infection. When he woke up this morning, he didn't say anything about them. Tommy told me that I was 'overreacting'. But I had a gut feeling that something was wrong. I took him in to the doctor and, sure enough, both of his ears were infected.

One moment I wish I could redo: Saying mean things to Tommy in front of the kids. I would have said the mean things....just not for them to hear. It's not good for them.

Best life tip of the day: Don't have your child's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese.

Biggest laugh of the day: In the dressing room at Old Navy with my sister.... making comments about her bra. For some reason, this was very funny to me.

Best Tommy moment: When he left the house.

Best Jack moment: At the doctor's office, Jack was asking all the nurses 'Where's Dr. Skoch?' and being very chatty with everyone. They all got a huge kick out of him. Also, on my way home from shopping, I talked to Jack and asked him how the birthday party he went to was. He told me all about the cake and pizza. His little voice is so sweet on the phone.

Best Mallie moment: Mallie slept through our entire shopping trip today. She was very accomodating. Also, when Claire got here to pick us up, she was very chatting, doing her low growling that turns into and all-out shout. She's very sassy and funny.
