This is a bonus post. Regular blog will appear on Sunday.
A friend, Sherry Antonetti mother of eleven, posted a list of small successes for the week and then asked several friends to blog-connect (is that a term?) with their list. Here's mine.
#1 Success at negotiating the pick-up and drop-off lines the first day of school. No way was I going to give up and go back home with two kids. I've been waiting all summer for this day.
#2 Success at avoiding Mocha Frappes at McDonald's for one week; note teeth marks on steering wheel.
#3 Success at getting children to and from school, to and from gymnastics classes, to and from violin practice, to and from baseball practice and to and from Girl Scouts. Biggest success was that this was with my actual children and not ones I accidently picked up in the never-ending pick-up and drop-off line.
#4 Success at getting my Wanda Argersinger chicken dish almost brown and almost right. Fifth try should get it right.
#5 Success at doing the Naked-at-Midnight-Bring-On-the-Rain Dance. Received 2 inches by morning. Sorry about the hurricane. I guess I mixed up the rain dance steps with the Dance-for-Extreme-Wind choreography.
That's it. Back to my regular blog on Sunday.

You had a lot of small successes. Good for you.
You had a great number of great successes. Guess you went a bit overboard. By the way, unless I picked up another when I was standing in line, I only have ten kids! Don't go starting rumors. :)
Come join next week, we do this every Thursday!
