Small Successes Thursday

1. Finished re-reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and started re-reading the next one.
2. Took J to the doctor for a small concern (yes, he's fine, gets to take Keflex for a week. FWIW it comes in berry flavor, which seems to be J's flavor of choice, and I didn't know this and had Target make it grape flavored. It smells about as repulsive as you'd think, and I don't think it tastes very good) and went and got his Rx.
3. Sorted out some work-stuff.

Whee. I lead such an exciting life...

Small Successes Thursday

Once, again, it is Thursday. This whole time thing is a little repetitive, no?
I accomplished a heck of a lot today:

1. Helped my sister M take care of my sister N's new twin girls and her two- and four- year old boys while N is in the hospital recovering from an emergency hysterectomy.
2. Got peed on by a cute puppy while helping M take a picture to help sell the puppy.
3. Played with my nephew Josh and got snuggled ferociously by the babies and my nephew Christian. It was a lot like being snuggled by J but by a way bigger kid. I think Christian is going to be a linebacker. Seriously, this kid is like a friggin wall. Not fat at all, just solid as all get out. But I digress.
4. Cooked a lovely dinner for sister N's family before I came home to my own family. I hope it was lovely, anyway. Hmm. I will have to ask my sister M how it turned out since she stayed for dinner and I didn't.
5. Shampooed the carpet for book club tomorrow. Gotta have a clean house!
6. Snuggled my little J and put him to bed. We read "In a People House." I sure missed him today!
7. Made brownies for book club tomorrow.
8. Took the gimpy PT Cruiser in for it's repairs (new clutch, transmission, and radiator) and found out that it only needs a new clutch and radiator! Yay!
9. Got a rental car for while the Cruiser is in "hospital." Damn those things are expensive. It is a great way to decide what cars we would potentially own or not. Thus far, our rental experience has taught us that we will never own a Hyundai Elantra or a Dodge Caliber (our current rental). I love my PT Cruiser. When it finally dies I will be a sad, sad lady.

Wow, that got pretty ramble-y. Huh. Anyway, Happy Thursday almost Friday!

Small Successes Thursday

Yep, it's Thursday again! Sometimes I think the main point of this is to keep me blogging at least once a week ;-).

Today I accomplished the following:
1. Finished The Time Traveler's Wife. Wow. What an incredible book. The end brought tears to my eyes.
2. Started re-reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
3. Started setting up Microsoft Money to manage our finances.

Hey, look at that. I did do 3 things today!

Small Successes Thursday

Ok, so this SST is a little different from previous ones. I honestly had one of the worst days ever, and don't feel like I accomplished shit. I spent most of the day trying not to cry. So I am going to try my best to come up with three positive things that I accomplished.

1. Watered my garden.
2. Read some of my book, The Time Traveler's Wife.
3. Washed diapers.

Well look at that. I did do 3 positive things today. Now I am going to go take something for my back, because it hurts.

Small Successes Thursday

It's that time again! Every Thursday (ideally) I will post three small things that I have done either that day or that week. The purpose of this is to remind myself, and women/moms in general, that the little things we do can and do add up to big things. Here goes!

1. Bought the remaining stuff we needed for camping this weekend.
2. Went to see my sister N and her two new baby girls this morning!
3. Got 2 loads of laundry done.

It's that time again! Every Thursday (ideally) I will post three small things that I have done either that day or that week. The purpose of this is to remind myself, and women/moms in general, that the little things we do can and do add up to big things. Here goes! I was super productive today, so you get 5 things. Whee!

1. Took the recycling to the collection center (#55).
2. Made banana bread and banana muffins.
3. Spent some quality time with my family!
4. Started fat rendering from the beef brisket we barbecued for an upcoming camping trip.
5. Sliced and froze the brisket and a turkey breast barbecued for the aforementioned trip.

Small Successes Thursdays, Late Again

I am doing SST so that I can remind myself, and women/moms in general, that the little things we do can and do add up to big things. Generally I will accomplish this by posting three things I have done that day or that week.

1. Got a binder made for a new protocol at work.
2. Hugged my baby.
3. Updated my blog with pictures of my garden!

Wow, I was sure busy yesterday. Haha. The things I did were important to me, though, which is really all that matters.

Small Successes Thursday, on Saturday

I am a bit late on this week's SST, but I am sure y'all will forgive me. :-)

SST exists so that I will remind myself, and women/moms in general, that the little things we do can and do add up to big things, by posting three things I have done that day or that week.

1. Had my annual evaluation (Thursday)
2. Spent some time with my mom (Tuesday and Wednesday)
3. Bought bus tickets (Monday)

1. Located a recycling center in my area.
2. Made a trip to the library to return books (today).
3. Made a salad from the greens in my garden (today).

Small Successes Thursdays

I saw this on another blog and thought I would adopt it. Every Thursday I will post three small things that I have done either that day or that week. The purpose of this is to remind myself, and women/moms in general, that the little things we do can and do add up to big things. Here goes nothing!

1. Sorted through baby clothes from my older brother's 15yo son that Brother T gave to my sisters and I for our boys. Boy were they dated...however, I did pick out a ton of Baby Gap shirts and onesies that were in great shape.

2. Brought in cardboard building bricks from the car that Sister M gave us. They'd been in the car since Tuesday. I put them in the basement for J to build with this summer on hot days. I can hardly wait to see what he does with them!

3. I actually shampooed the dining room carpet this week. I need to go over it again, with vinegar, but it is progress!
