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!

      Definitely! I’m trying to think of any that happened to me today…… Nope! Rained, new front door costing twice what we’d estimated, playdate a disaster, rained, no lemon tarts in supermarket, rained….. Oh well

      How nice! Every little bit helps make your day better, and the littlest surprises can make the biggest differences. Lucky you!

      I awarded YOU

      Now since I’m so not into rules, heh heh, all you have to do is pass them on.

      I hate rules. LOL.

      HOW TRUE?! Especially when you’re having just “one of those days,” finding that extra creamer for your coffee can make all of the difference! 🙂
