Yay for Me Wednesday!

Horrors! Re-reading this for the umpteenth time, I've found some major typos! They are fixed now (I think...), and I blame it on the brain cells I lost during the pregnancy :) Seriously, I misspell and dial more things wrong now than I did before!

I love this Yay for Me Wednesday thing :) Last week I couldn't come up with any "yays"... I guess I was too Eeyore-ish. This week, though, I do have some yays! Small things, and things you might not care one snit about, but they are certainly YAY things for me :)

*Oh! Ok, this one is from last week, but after Wednesday. We got a new 20 cubic foot (upright) freezer!!! The reason we got it is rather un-yay (only had to throw out a little bit of stuff), but the "bonus yay!" is that it happened while my sister, who is an employee of Lowe's out in her boondocks town out west, was HERE, AT MY HOUSE!! and she went with Daniel and saved us 10% on our purchase with her employee discount! Double YAY!! (Yay-yay!)

*I spent about 1 hour in the checkbook Monday night. I thought it was surely forever since I'd updated it, turns out it hadn't even been a month yet. Not caught up yet, but that's not for here.

*I've drank 8 glasses of water each day this week!

*I've stayed on top of my To-Do list each day, too, and it feels GREAT!

*I'm getting myself to bed earlier, AND getting up earlier. Still not to the times I want to be at, but we're getting there. I think my days will be much more productive and easier overall when I can get more stuff done before Susannah gets up.

*I had a load of laundry ready to hang out at 9:15 this morning :)

*I (and Daniel) tackled a pile of laundry in our bedroom last night. It's nice to not have it there anymore :P

I can't think of anything else right at the moment, but I'm tickled about these things for sure :) I think I'm finally getting a new normal figured out here :)

Yay for Me Wednesday!

Courtney over at Living Peacefully Less Stressed (my latest gem-of-a-blog find!) is hosting a "Yay for Me Wednesday!" carnival.

Thank you, Courtney, for reminding me to celebrate the "Yay!" things and not just dwell on the "but I didn'ts." I have so many "but I didn'ts" at the front of my head that I had to think a bit to come up with some "yay's!" but I did!!

~ I scored a reclining, strap-on high-chair for FREE! Susannah's not strong enough to sit up in a regular one yet, and I was not looking forwards to feeding her her solid food kneeling on the floor in front of her swing. Yay for me!!!

~ Speaking of Susannah and solid food... every time I feed her she is liking it better and better, and last night and today she's starting to open her mouth for the spoon. Yay for me! (for persevering) and Yay for Susannah!!

~ I folded the couch full of laundry. Yay for me!!

~ Last week I scored a Spiral Cut Brown Sugared Ham off the Manager's Special. Yuummmmm! Yay for me!!!

~ I've stayed on top of the dishes and counters every day this week. Yay for me!!!

~ I went to bed before midnight last night. Yay for me!!!

~ I've started making and taking time to play the piano again. I really enjoy it and I want Susannah to grow up hearing me play, like I remember my mom playing when I was little. Yay for me!!

~ I exercised Monday night. Yay for me!!
