It’s important for moms to recognize that all the small successes in our days can add up to one big triumph. So on Thursday of each week, we do exactly that.
- I was able to hang every load (except towels) on the clothes line this week. I'm confident this helps keep the electric bill in check.
- Cleaned the girls closet with their help. Also took the bag of hand-me-down clothes to a family we go to church with who has 2 little girls. This is a huge accomplishment!! Usually the bag will sit in my car for several months and it was only there for a day or two.
- Took my urine sample the doctor wanted me to drop off for analysis. Remember I was sick a few weeks ago? She wanted to be sure everything had cleared up. I am not good about following up with extra doctor orders like this!! So I am counting this as an accomplishment. Probably good that I did because I need to do it again in a couple more weeks. Now the question remains will I be good again about it?
Great week! Hang clothes on the line is a nice thing, we don't have a line. In this humidity, i think it would take a week to dry anything!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, on 2 & 3. I'm guilty on both counts as well!
When I hang clothes, the towels are always the first. I really enjoy the crispiness of hang dried towels. (Is that weird?) And I always have bags of things laying around that I mean to give to someone. Yay for you! I love your little accomplishments! Here are mine:
ReplyDelete1. Responded well to the billion times Emma asked me, "Mama? Your baby died? You don't have a baby in your tummy anymore?"
2. Put together a big bag and a big box of stuff to give to a family whose house burned down this week in our area.
3. Resisted the urge to feel (extremely) sorry for myself when I missed the birth of my buddies baby.
Not too shabby! :)
You had a very good week, and are still in my prayers. Your little angel in heaven will always know you and you will some day look upon his/her face.
ReplyDeleteYou aren't weird to like the crispiness of air dried towels. I do myself. Like a free loofah!! I don't hang them at the request of my dear husband. He is bald and he said it is just too rough on his head! Poor guy!
Great week! I really think I need to look into getting a clothes line. I used to love hanging clothes on the line when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteI need to hang our laundry :). It does wonders for whites, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYay for #3. I still have bloodwork the Dr. ordered that I haven't quite "gotten around to yet." It requires fasting and I've let it go so long I don't even pretend to "accidentally eat breakfast" anymore. Oops, maybe I should get on that. Thanks for the inspiration!
Great job! I really need to get a clothesline going too. I've talked about it for years, but that's as far as I've gotten.
ReplyDeleteGreat week! I love #3 too. I haven't done any of my follow up stuff with the doc and I was in three months ago. Thanks for the reminder. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on #2, that is a struggle for me as well. Good intentions, lack of motivation :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words and all your prayers. It is hard to wallow when I am so surrounded by blessing. God is good to me. I still have my very sad moments, but I am not without comfort and hope.
