Complete Satisfaction

I've often marveled at the fact that there are so many nuances that make each individual unique. For instance, the ability to satisfy is so dependent on the specific wants and needs of a particular person. My husband and I are two VERY different creatures with VERY different definitions of satisfaction; and yet, I find it amazing that God could take those definitions and align them so perfectly to bring about a day of complete satisfaction for the both of us!
For Scott, it was a day filled with the afterglow of a UofA victory over a top 10 ranked football team, doubled with the recent signing of a top 10 UofA basketball recruit (am I painting a clear enough picture of where my husband's wants and needs lie?).
For me, it was a day filled with organizational task accomplishment! (equally interesting and obsessive) If any of you have kids that are half as demanding as mine, you'll understand just how impossible it is to complete ANYTHING, let alone the compulsive need to clean, sort and organize. (and, NO, I am NOT nesting...we've taken GREAT measures to ensure that doesn't happen unless we're REALLY crazy enough to procreate another child!) Brody's bedroom is an intricate system of large buckets for large trucks, small buckets for small trucks, cubbies to shelve them all, and yet, it appears his toys prefer permanent residence in a gigantic heap in the middle of his floor. And he's the good one! Taryn's room can't seem to shake the stench of dirty diapers, and my husband has had mounds of medical books, papers, journals scattered all over our office/dining room that my recent binge at The Container Store couldn't even "contain." Until today!!
Today I trimmed the fat off an entire bookshelf in the office/dining room that was tottering under the weight of unused medical resources, replaced it with a fresh, smaller bookshelf from Brody's room, swapped Brody's death-trap-of-a-bed with the luxurious queen from Taryn's room...thus successfully switching the "when needed" guest quarters from Taryn's dirty diaper dungeon to Brody's truck shanty town. (I'm sure you're DYING to visit!)
But the icing on the cake...I was able to create a much more appealing site to post updates and information about the preschool curriculum I'm using with Brody. Kids' bedrooms - efficiently set-up, sorted, and organized. Preschool curriculum - more attractively set-up, sorted, and organized. Scott's medical paraphernalia - contained. Lindsay's mental and emotional state - completely satisfied!
