Small Accomplishments

I have always been a list maker. (Just ask Brian. :-) Every day I would make a list of all the things that I needed to accomplish. Well, lately my lists have taken several days to complete. Or maybe even a week, which is painful for a perfectionist like me.

So now, I celebrate the small accomplishments, such as the following:
* Finishing the last Harry Potter book. I had great motivation to do this, since Brian and I were racing to finish. I won, but I know that he let me win.

* Getting the baby in her bed for a nap. Maybe this should be a big accomplishment.

* Getting breakfast and lunch.

* Posting a blog!

* Doing some online Christmas shopping.

* Getting a load of laundry ton. Man, does it pile up!

It is amazing what you can get done in 20 minutes, when that's all you have.

If I didn't make a list I wouldn't remember what to do! Gotta love walking into a room and you have no idea why you went in there.

Glad you got a lot of things done! Its important to get breakfast and lunch, and you're good with laundry as long as it doesn't start walking away yet ;-)

We're too young to walk in a room and forget why we're there. I love it when I find myself trying to put the milk in the pantry rather than back in the fridge. . . sigh
