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!

      You have had a great day (week)! I don’t know what’s more exciting, finding the money in the pocket or the gum before putting the clothes in the washing machine!
      We need to count our blessings and you just did!
      Thanks for the smile!

      I love finding money in my pocket!!! Excellent. Only thing better is finding a $20 on the ground. And… I stocked up on half and half for coffee in the morning!!

      I think some of those are worth at least mid-level victory status!!

      I love finding money! Happens so rarely these days because I mostly use my debit card, but once in a while I leave a little cash behind in a jacket pocket- totally makes my day šŸ™‚

      Girl it’s like rain on your wedding day, a free ride when you already paid that driver. You know!
