Yes Yes... I know it's Friday.
AND?! haha
Seriously - I told someone today, when I sent them a package of cards (my friend has cancer and I make cards, so I sent her about 30 Thank You and Just Because kind of cards).... anyway, I said, "please forgive the fact there is no note. I have 30 minutes to shower and leave for Karate!" TRUTH!
Can I count that as a success? I sent the cards. That counts, right?
Small Successes, you say?
I mean, I did fill up the gas tank and do this, today...
The laundry would be bonus. But I do have coffee brewing. And dinner, well I am going to put the salmon in the oven in a moment. Sigh.
My week was not perfect, ladies...
But I meant what I said. AND, I was way better about not getting angry/full on yelling. And I even calmly sent the boy to his room when he wouldn't stop smart-mouthing, and left him there till I came upstairs, and put him to bed. I was kind of proud of that. Because I told him what I was going to do and DID IT! My child is awesome. But like many 12 year olds, there is this attitude and mouthiness. Except that he has always had it - ALWAYS! It's an Aspy thing. He loves to tell everyone else what to do, but hates to listen. Sigh. Anywhooo.... lest I paint a bad picture of him... I should stop!
My husband will be home for a few weeks. My child goes to his first Middle School Rally tomorrow. Sunday we are having friends over for dinner.
So maybe, just maybe, I will have something interesting to say on Monday.
Be bless you all, and as you can see - Small Successes really do come in EVERY shape and size. Pat yourselves on the back, mamas. You deserve it!

Small Successes, you say?
- We got a lot of school done.
- We went to everything we had planned - ON TIME!
- I did leave a egg white, spinach & feta cheese wrap in my purse all morning one of the days.
- I did let my big old 12 year old sleep in our bed because it was storming.
- I wrote a Gospel Reflection for Catholicmom.com and yesterday was my day for it to post - HERE!
- I even remembered not to eat meat today.
- AND My house is reasonably presentable to my husband who is coming home today. Though, if I am being honest, I just remembered that our entire bed is covered in laundry that needs to be put away, but where do I sit - here, pretending I have everything done, because I haven't blogged all week, and I need to do something for me.
