It’s important for moms to recognize that all the small successes in our days can add up to one big triumph. So on Thursday of each week, we do exactly that.

1) The brownies

2) I began organizing the school area.  Sometimes it is a success just to begin, especially if the task looks daunting (in this case, rearranging bookshelves that have run amuck).

3) I have been able to laugh at Princess’ 3am antics without feeling too much self-pity at the sleep I’m missing.  😉  Princess is cutting both top front teeth at the same time, which makes her quite clingy by day but amazingly perky and cheerful by night.  Haus Meister brings her into our bed hoping she’ll sleep there, and she eventually does.  I had to bring her out here to rock at 3:45 this morning, however, after she had decided to make it her personal mission to crawl around and pull all of the comforter toward the middle of the bed.
