I know a lot of us are feeling like junk right now so Iwant to start a thread where we talk about our wins, big or small!
My win is that I got the 3 baskets of clean laundry that I’ve been putting off, all put away. Also I scored an awesome solid wood chest toy box at the local thrift store for $10 and I’m going to re-finish it this weekend for my son’s room so I can get rid of a couple dumb plastic toy bins that I hate.
Re: Weekly Wins
My win is that I killed it at Parent Night last night for the middle school where I work. Great convos, fantastic connections made, and I feel momentum for a solid, fun year. That and I managed to keep myself sane, the dog happy, fed, and well-walked, and DS alive this week given that my husband was home for just 1.5 days the whole week.
I had my performance review at work and I’m always nervous it’s going to be bad because of my own self-doubt. My boss asked for feedback from my team and they all gave me great reviews saying I am very helpful, supportive and always have their back. Definitely made my day!

Also, I was able to successfully hide my pregnancy last night at our monthly “teacher’s go out and drink” event! Got my normal drink sans alcohol and nobody suspected a thing! #winning
On a more serious note, I had a productive week at work. Also crossed a bunch of house stuff off our list that I’ve been meaning to get to (get fireplace fixed before winter, hire landscapers to tame the beast that is our front yard). Now to relax all weekend! Maybe a load of laundry in there.. @keighty80 I’m super impressed about your laundry update. I don’t even mind the folding, but putting away is the worst.
@secicc12 Not throwing up after a pound of Chinese is for sure a win! We’re trying to do some house stuff too and got a quote back yesterday, but I’m not so sure I would consider it a win. Haha
I went to a “high end baby stuff” yard sale today and got 5 really nice tops and a set of soft blocks similar to the ones DS uses at therapy for a total of $40! Three of the tops are Ralph Lauren, one Vineyard Vines, one J Crew. I’m very pleased.
I also cleaned his closet!
I have also had the energy to do 4 loads of laundry so far.
Biggest win though I got my husband to do half the dishes!

@bluesky24 Definitely a win!
@nopegoat Your house will at least stay clean a little longer without an extra kid to mess it up again!
@mamajojo1981 I'm going to look for those! Any excuse to go to Trader Joe's, really.
I just ate a donut and it was extra yummy.
then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW,
