Some days I feel good about myself because I get in a workout, other days, for sitting long enough to read a book to my kids, and on other days, just surviving until bedtime without too many tears.
I often ask myself, "What do I need to do today in order to feel worthwhile and successful (like there's an actual purpose to my existence)?"
Today...it was taking a scrub brush (and chisel) to the disgusting-ness that was the kids bathroom (man...it's been a while...remember?).
It took a little elbow grease but i finally got all the fuzz (aka nasty mold from our disgusting local water) out of the john.
(I'm exaggerating, of course...the fuzz actually comes off fairly easily.)
I just love it when my toilet is sparkly. :) Makes me all giddy happy!
The kids and I left the house for a few hours and came home to the permeating scent of Lysol and toilet bowl cleaner.
I took a deep breath....ahhhh.....the smell of success!
I love it!
What kinds of "little things" make you feel worthwhile and happy?

Tying shoes or helping put on socks.
Washing off the kitchen table(even tho I put it off as long as possible some days LOL).
Those make me feel joyful even tho they are basically mundane and blah.
I love it. I never thought of those things before.
There really is something about a sparkling bathroom that brings happiness. I could almost swear that my happiness is tied (a little too tightly) to how clean and tidy the kitchen is! Clean kitchen = happy/relaxed mom, Messy kitchen = STRESS!
We have 1pm church and it is a half hour drive each way (for a few months while we get some renos to ours). Anyway, I made a huge effort to ensure the kitchen and living room were nice and tidy when we left and man it felt so good when we walked back in the door close to 5pm and rushed to make dinner!
couldn't agree more... i finally cleaned my bathtub after 3 months. not 3 weeks... 3 months. so gross. but being a mom has really been an adjustment. i have a whole new respect for you!!!!! you're amazing!
I'm right there with you on the toilet. I hate doing it, but I feel so accomplished after. :-)
