Life’s Chaos and Tiny Victories: My Day with Xavier and Octavia

Hey everyone! 

Buckle up because today was a whirlwind of chaos, laughter, and a few well-deserved victories.

So, Xavier kicked off Year 3 today. Seriously, where did the time go? One minute he’s my little guy needing constant attention, and the next, he’s off to school like a mini adult. We definitely butt heads a lot—probably because we’re basically the same person with a bit too much stubbornness. I miss him already, but hey, I’m not going to lie—I’m also savoring the quiet break. It’s a bit of a double-edged sword, isn’t it?

This morning, I had grand plans to conquer the world—or at least my to-do list. But of course, Octavia had other ideas. Nap time turned into a battle royale, and let’s just say I lost that one. She’s at that fun age where “no” is just a suggestion and curiosity is her middle name. After what felt like an eternity, she finally crashed, and I got a precious breather. Managed to tick off a few things on my list, which is a small win in my book.

Oh, and a quick shoutout to Warren—he texted me during his crazy workday just to check in. Little things like that? They’re everything. And the cherry on top? He’s cooking dinner tonight. I know, right? It’s the little things that make the chaos worth it.

Can’t wait to pick up Xavier and hear about his day. Fingers crossed it was a good one. Here’s to celebrating the tiny victories and finding joy in the everyday madness!

Takeaway: Life might be a circus, but the little moments of connection and kindness are what keep us going. Share your own tiny victories or funny moments in the comments!
