Accentuate the Positive

**Missy** · 03-04-2006, 05:53 PM

Man, I need a thread like this right about now, so lets see if i can get it started. Add to it as you find things that are going positive right now.... gonna try to think of five.

ds1's studies are going well, he's getting stuff done in a timely manner. He's good about that

ds2 has figured out the crawling thing. He's quite pleased at himself.

dd made herself a nutella sandwhich today. it was cute, one giant glob of it on the very center of a piece of bread...

Caught Emma sunning her tummy in a sunbeam on the carpet today.

Got a bunch of things done today, laundry, dishes, vacuuming, mopped, etc.

3. I found out when DH went grocery shopping last night he actually got 5 things I needed towards the Del Monte rebate
4. The heat is turned on at a reasonable temperature so I am not cold
5. The new CD I got in the mail yesterday is really good. I'm glad I bought it.

3. I no longer work at a job I hate.

4. I have a job interview for a job I really want.

Here are mine:
DH and & spent the afternoon playing with our granddaughter.

Our beef order came in today both freezers are full to the brim.

The house in clean and neat

I had one of my cc's interest go up to 27.99!

I use bill payer to pay my bills and somehow my payment was sent over the Martin Luther King holiday and it was late. (1 day argggg!)
the good news is I have a card with no balance and a 2.99 percent, so I transfered it over. My plan is to have the card paid off in 7 months. At the 27.99% I would have paid 1398 in interest,
at 2.99% I will be paying 132.

We are excited because DGS will probably be born this week
