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) We have officially emerged from beneath the mountain of laundry resulting from our week with the flu.  One fortunate thing to come from it is that I was able to get my spring cleaning in early and washed almost every pillow and every comforter, down or otherwise.

2) I remembered to call the City Department and arranged to be on the list for the extra trash pickup to get rid of falling-apart Wal-Mart furniture that would never survive the move.

3) I finally found the frosting recipe that ended my run of failed-homemade-frostings.  🙂

And on an unrelated note:  HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my MOM! 🙂
