Two steps forward, two steps back

I guess that's just the way things go, right? Life is grand, and also full of little set backs.
  • Jason and I finally got Molly to eat a sandwich (I count this a major food victory!), but now she hates swim class (I suspect she may have had a snoot full of water somewhere along the way). 
  • I think I have my feet in decent shape for long runs, but am now struggling with calf and shin pain. Ugh. Let's hope Epsom salt and Tiger Balm will do the trick...only one month to go!
  • We finished the home improvements to our dining room and living room, but can't get the bathroom done because our tile is stuck on a shipping container waiting to get through customs (for 3 months...don't ask).
  • And we were SO close to getting approval from the city to rebuild our rotting deck, but we missed one department sign off and now have to wait an additional 20 days. 
  • My veggie garden is in decent shape--it looks like I'm going to get a ton of cherry tomatoes, carrots, and possibly even some corn (what?!)--but I can't seem to grow a pepper to save my life and I think I killed a perfectly good hydrangea. Whoops.
Salad with tomatoes and parsley from my garden....tastes like pride!
These "problems" are all tiny in the grand scheme of things. How can I complain when I have this little face to look at every day?
