Small Successes
For more small success stories click on the Faith and Family link above.
1. Finally took the time to log in and check my email from another computer (read dig out password and get used to a different system). Ours is having some problems.
2. Managed to stay Flu-less when dh and all 7 kiddos came down with the flu. This one was a doozey. Some were sick for 8+ days, others just a few.
3. Cleaned out under the bathroom sinks. OK the credit really goes to my dh and son Nathan who took everything out to unclog sinks (and put new fixtures in and recaulk the tub/tile!) All I had to do was decide what/where to put back.
4. Changed sheets on all 4 boys' beds trying to rid the house of germs. I don't usually change all at once so I was short some boy sheets. The other boys were going to let Logan (21 months) have the cool Batman sheets until they found out someone was going to get stuck with pink ones. Logan got them. I don't think he cares, but I do think he'll get some boy ones for Christmas.
5. Called MIL for help in folding laundry after becoming incredibly behind - 1. behind about 5 days due to the flu 2. added all those sheets and some quilts 3. new towels (desperately needed and BIG sale today only - I saved a boatload!) I've washed 10-12 loads today in my ultra capacity HUGE washing machine in preparation for her morning arrival to fold tomorrow. Why is this my success? 'Cause sometimes it's hard to ask for help, even when it's for the good of the family.

WOW! What an awesome list! Tough week...you should be really proud of yourself. I found your blog through faith and Family Live! I love the concept. It's great to stay in touch with faraway friends. I look forward to visiting again soon.
Aw, Real! These are the times that I wish I still lived a stone's throw away.... although I would not wish for the tiny, tiny kitchen again.
Good successes!
