How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Small Victories

in Uncategorized on 07/27/09


There was enough cream left for 1 more coffee.

I made muffins with the girls and only ate one!

There was a $20.00 bill in my rain coat.

That stupid train finally moved and I wasn’t late to pick up the kids.

The battery for the video camera was charged.

Both daughters were invited to play dates on the same day.

I found the piece of gum in SweetGirls pocket before it went into the washing machine.

That number on the scale went DOWN!

The weather man was wrong and the sun IS shining.

There was enough toilet paper left on the roll that I wasn’t forced to choose between drip dry or Glamour Magazine!

Sometimes you just have to take joy in life’s little victories!

      Oh, I love finding money in my coats. Such a nice surprise. Anytime we don’t have to air dry or call on the three year old to find us some toilet paper is a good day!
