As I read alot of negative things....no offense to anyone here....but it gets rather depressing.

SO! Let's start with something POSITIVE.

What have you done today?

I think if we post our accomplishments, we'll have a better sense positiveness (or whatever fancy word you wanna stick in there :P). I know I feel better once I've accomplished something. Whether it be big or small........post it! :nod:

Then will you reward yourself? How?

Start UPlifting yourself and each other! :bounce: :hug: :belly: :booyah:

We need to show alot more encouragement with each other around here, I think.

I'll start..........

I just got done cleaning my kitchen til it sparkles and shines! :booyah:


Just gotta wash the floor....:P

My reward? Hot :bath: and some one ON one with hubby. B)

I need some positive-ness.....

Let's see.......yesterday I vacuumed and cleaned the kitchen, today I ironed and went grocery shopping........

Haven't really thought of a reward.....maybe going to bed early to SLEEP (seeing as I've not had a good night's sleep in forever), but tomorrow I'm taking Andie to gymnastics and then out to dinner at McD's with my friends and their girls, so that'll be fun!

GREAT idea for a thread, tho!!

Gonna start a list with rewards....post later.

I washed the dishes in the sink
I swept the kitchen floor
I went grocery shopping
I made our bed
I went through two boxes of Kat's old clothes to see if there were any clothes usable for Liam

No rewards

I put the new bedding on the boys bed. I was going to leave it for this wknd but did it today.
I cleaned our bathroom.
Currently cleaning the kitchen AND doing laundry.

I'm going out to dinner tomorrow (our anniversary) so I'm excited and am trying to have it all done so I don't need to think about it during dinner. :bounce: :stars:

Thanks! :thanks:

Today's goal is to complete all laundry and clean the bathroom. Along with sweeping floors, doing dishes and all other monotonous things. :P

I'm hoping to reward myself at the end of the week with a trip to the candle shop. B)

Yesterday I took the kids on a walk, cleaned the dining room floor(decided to quit using the mop and started using my carpet shampooer with its scrubbrushes!:thumbsup:)did dishes, bathed kid, made dinner..

No rewards..

I forgot. I did reward myself. I played around with some photos in photishop which I love to do.

I took Tessa to her 2 month check-up this morning (it was 3 weeks late, but this thread is about accomplishments, so I won't dwell on that).
I showered. That's it for me so far, today.

I read while my husband didn't go to bed last night...I guess that's a reward. Love to read, jsut don't have much time these days..

Today I ran and rented some books on CD for mom, then went to Barnes & Noble for a gift certifcate for my dad's b-day (from her), then to the hospital, but she was out of her room having tests done.

Back home, started laundry, made lunch for Andrea, while she's down for a bit this afternoon I'll get the kitchen cleaned up.

My reward will actually be looking into another online venture that's just started up, to see if it's going to work for me. Ty will be fishing so I can piddle around to my heart's content!! B)

so far I have done a load of laudry, one load of dishes, vacuumed my son's room and spot treated the carpet..Will shampoo it directly..

I did read a little last night...Maybe that's a reward :) ...

Well, I'm getting the laundry done. Just took a break now for lunch. Kids are putting their clothes away and as they're doing that, I'm seeing a bunch of things that need to be reorganized......

Just got hubby to vacuum 2 living room chairs. :whip: Now it's up to me to stain treat then shampoo them THEN Scotch Guard them! :booyah:

I think I need to scotch guard my son...

The one chair has now gotten the Clorox bleach treatment....those stains are IMPOSSIBLE to get out! Oh well.......CHEERfully moving on.....:booyah:

I've accomplished NOTHING today :thanks: :thanks:

Ok. I did return an item to Target :P
I'm taking the day off although I do need to 'fix up' a bit. :stars:

I got the bathroom cleaned.
Laundry done....well, just need to put SOME clothes away.
Kitchen's all tidy ~ supper and dishes all done and put away.
Even went for a short :bike: ride with Luke....could've gone longer but he didn't wanna.

All that's left is to sweep the floors. I never sweep the floor during the day....totally pointless and I only get agitated when I DO and it gets all dirty from the kids tracking in dirt from outside.

MY reward tonight...MAYBE (if I can stay awake) watch a movie with Hubby. I might give myself a pedicure and paint my toenails. :nails:

Man, I feel tired.

I did a bunch of stuff yeaterday..pretty ordinary stuff, but today I'm gonna do some sewing!! As soon as I close the internet I'll be mending things that have been piling up waiting for me to get off my lazy butt and fix them!!

Change of plans! Wasn't able to get to sewing as aoon as I got off the computer..You know, life with kids and all...Made them lunch and read another couple of chapters of "The Trumpet of the Swan" to them( I read to the at lunchtime) and after lunch got a phone call. We're getting that car today! Woo hoo! In less than half an hour I'll be leavign with MIL to go to the tag agency to switch the title..then we'll take her home and come back here ourselves..Hopefully I'll have time to do some sewing before I have to make dinner..(Dinner is usually at 3:30 because hubb gets home at 3:15 and is hungry...Well...Looking at the time now it'll pribably have to wait until after dinner...

Congrats on the car String.



I did laundry, cleaned the bedroom and bathroom and family room. I just have the kitchen left. I also completely reorganized the boys' closet. I bought some clear 'media' boxes to organize their toys and put them away up high so they can't have them :clap: I also have 3 bags to donate and one full bag of broken junk... I also balanced the checkbook :thanks:

Okay, I've actually done stuff the last couple days. I've gotten about 6 loads of laundry done. I did dishes today, made a big dent in the hu-normous stack. Took Phillip to dr. check up this morning, had to take him to the hospital for blood draw (most awesome blood draw ever, but that's another story). Kids were all fed and diapers were changed with regularity.

I read the new Harry Potter on Monday and Tuesday, so that reward will have to last me for a while.

OK. Today I took off the cushions from our kitchen chairs and took the upholstery off to wash them. The stains didn't come off so I went to the fabric store and bought new fabric to reupholster them with. Hopefully they turn out nice... :blink:
Once I'm done (if I can do it) I'll post here... :nod:

I FINALLY got the school books all ordered in. :thanks: Swiped hubby's credit card. :eyebrows:

NOW, to get the rest of the house quickly tidied up. Gotta finish the little bit of dishes & sweep and wash the floor.

OK. 2 Chairs done! I did a GREAT job especially since it's my first time #1. Using a staple gun, #2. Taking apart a chair & #3. Putting it all back with NEW fabric. DH LOVES how they look. I purchased darker fabric (dark sage green) vs. the off white we had. Anyway...I only bought enough fabric for 2 chairs since I wasn't sure how it would turn out etc. I'm excited...
Haven't done anything else though :(

I made the bed
Cleaned the kitchen: wiped stove, washed dishes, swept floor, cleaned counters
Cleaned the bathroom
Did 2 loads of laundry

Reward was some computer time.

Just got in from taking the kids to VBS this morning. I stayed and helped.. Then we went to the store on the way home to get a couple of things we needed to make dinner. The baby is napping and the kids are in their rooms. I haven't done much, if anything, around here today, so I'm getting started now! :thanks:

Here we go, get ready to be impressed!! B)

Cleaned the laundry room
Washed & dried 2 sleeping bags that have been laying on the playroom floor FOREVER!

Paid bills....... :sick:
Cleaned the master bath

My reward? I THINK it'll be taking a :bath: tonight, let daddy take care of the kiddo.

I got stung by a frickin' hornet so my accomplishment at the moment is getting the swelling down!

:blink: Are you ok? I spray the hornets before they continue their nests...


I took the kiddo's to swimming, went grocery shopping, went to BevMo for wine, put away the groceries, gave kiddo's their lunch (sushi), cleaned out the freezer and fridge, loaded the dishwasher, took out the recycling and just finished lunch :)
I still have to make the beds and clean up some more but both kiddo's are sleeping so I'm having some 'me' time :thanks:

Yeah, I'm ok. Sucker stung pretty hard...felt it go up my arm and everything. :blink:

Keep up the accomplishments, ladies! :team:

My daughter is now COUNTING so I'll get off the 'puter to let HER play! :lol:

Kitchen's all tidied up.
Gotta sweep the floor before bedtime.
Hubby's cleaning out HIS desk.
I've got SOME junk that needs cleaning up.
Looks like I'll have to quickly dust things, too.

I think I'll start on the laundry tomorrow. Supposed to have perfect weather for using the clothes line. :yay:

I did 3 or 4 loads of laundry. The babies seem to be having the runs, so I changed many poopy diapers. I hard-boiled some eggs and made egg salad.

I mowed the back yard, front yard and side yard
I washed the mower
I washed diapers and put them away
I put the dish washer on
I bathed the kids
I helped Kat with her school work

My reward was doing some reading on photography tonight.

Whew! I just scheduled all of Phillip's specialist appts that we've been putting off because of Tessa. Audiology, Nutrition, Endocrinology and Genetics for Flipsy, and I scheduled an appt for me with a Podiatrist and checked to see if my allergy shots were ready (they are). I really hate making phone calls so this is a big one for me. I'll have to think of a good reward for myself.

So much for trying to save energy by drying my clothes on the line...:bored: Stupid punk from down the road is cutting the dried grass or whatever the heck that is in the fields where the cows have been grazing....he's blowing DIRT everywhere! :ticked: So now I have to take it all down and REwash it all! I should haul his butt in here and make HIM do it! :smack: :kick:

GREAT argument AGAINST drying clothes outside!!! :happy:

Grocery shopping....done
