So my amazing friend
Lynsie has inspired me to be better since the day I met her. She is one of those people who always seems to have the right attitude even though she has gone through things that are harder than I can really imagine. She was the one person who could ALWAYS settle down my son Ethan when he was fussy as a baby. She is always giving service, smiling loving, teaching, inspiring, beautiful, etc. etc. you know, one of those women you want to hate but just can't :). Well she has inspired me again. On her blog she did a post about her 5 successes for the day and I thought that was a great way to help me be more positive. I am not sure that I am quite successful enough to post 5 everyday so I have decided that on Tuesdays I will post my 5 successes for the last week. Here goes:
- Had all of the kids' rooms clean at the same time, for like 5 minutes but hey, we are looking at the positives here. :)
- Put away the clean laundry. All 52,478 loads of it!
- Had fun playing Hungry Hungry Hippos with the twinners! And didn't even get upset when they kept knocking the marbles all over the floor.
- Got both kids dressed, fed, medicated, and on the bus on time WITHOUT yelling at them!
- I found time for a shower everyday for the last 5 days!
So there you go. I love looking at the little successes, it helps me feel like I'm doing pretty well at this whole life thing. :)
Be of good cheer. The future is as bright as your faith. - President Thomas S. Monson

Corie, Thank you for your comments! Your post made me cry.
I'm glad you're taking the challenge. It was hard to think of 5 things the first time! I hope it gets easier. I'm sure that's the idea.
