I Deserve A Badge

Somebody come award me an Excellent Mom Badge. Hot dog, I did something right. I seems like after many-a-time of stumbling through motherhood and the whole "running a household" thing, it feels nice to have something go my way! So celebrate with me these small achievements:
  • I cooked two new recipes last week, which were delicious and everyone liked them. They were Sausage/Zucchini Quiche and Parmesan Crusted Talapia. I feel like a professional already.
  • I dusted off a pot shelf including Windexing three crystal frames that sat on that shelf, it was nice to see the community of dust bunnies get sucked up by my vacuum...finally - how long has it been?
  • I succeeded in having a very frank and reasonable discussion with my 2 1/2 year old about being rewarded a chocolate Santa treat (yes, we have those leftover still) if he would just go poop on the potty, as opposed to in his pants. Apparently I chose the appropriate treat of choice, because within a few hours, much to my surprise, he really did do it! Go him, and go me! It was so celebratory, all the kids partook in a Santa treat (that'll get rid of 'em).
The things that bring me peace and happiness...
