Small Successes

1.
Saw the bottom of my laundry hamper...for a couple of hours. My boys cleaned up their room and, voila!...full hamper again. That, plus some beach towels means Mt. Neverrest is living in my laundry room again. But I was caught up for a short time. Also, cleaned little girl's room and the boys' room. These successes tend to be like the laundry...fleeting. But a fleeting success is still a success, right?

Had some success overcoming procrastination. I made some phone calls and did some paperwork as soon as I became aware they needed to be done--instead of waiting for a "better" time, which never seems to come. In fact, in one case, hubby called and told me we needed a letter from the bank. I was on my way out anyway, so I stopped at the bank (with three children in tow) and half an hour later, I had the letter in hand, which I then immediately delivered to the person who needed it. It was a bit exhilarating to text hubby and tell him it was all taken care of--within an hour of his requesting it!

Got the results of the standardized testing the boys took a couple of weeks ago. They did great!! This is their success, but I like to think I had a little to do with it;) Now, I need to copy them, and mail them to the school district with my letter of intent to homeschool next year...no procrastinating!!
