Small Successes

1.  Accepted my dh's offer to run the Monday afternoon soccer carpool and stay home Tuesday morning when I down with allergies and a sinus infection (not accepting help and pushing it probably got me to the point I was).

2.  Did NOT laugh as I was cleaning up a public bathroom floor when my 2.5 yr old, while sitting on the toilet, couldn't wait any longer for me to get a little toilet paper properly positioned.  For some odd reason I found the whole thing quite comical, but I don't want him to repeat that experience.

3.  Let 8 families into my house on T afternoon for science and art classeseven though it was embarrassingly messy.  (A sick mama has that effect on a house). Or should the success really be that I chose not to scream and bark out orders at my kids for the hour before the class so I wouldn't be as embarrassed. :)

Wow, those are HUGE successes -- especially keeping your humor in the public restroom!

Have a great weekend!

lol at number 2!! My 2-year-old just started potty training. Yesterday I went to pick her father up after work. She hid in one of the school lockers and peed all over it!! Thankfully there was nothing in it but I must admit I did laugh when I realized what she had done.

I don't know if I will ever get to the point when I won't be embarrasses if company comes and the house is a mess. I would have to agree that the success is that you kept your cool with your family and just let the guests come anyway. High fives for that.

Great successes. I think not barking orders in #3 is a bonus success #4!

Totally loved #2! Figuring out a way to laugh at any stressful situation makes your day instantly better! Great list of successes my friend! I hope the week ahead is equally grand.
