Victory!

Score!  Here’s a list of my most recent rockstar accomplishments:

Yes, of course this is actually me… obviously I’m this fit and can jump that high 😉

1. I took both kids to the grocery store and left with everything on my list.  Wait, I don’t think you’re getting it fully.  Let me try again…I took both kids to the grocery store and left with everything on my list.

2. I have managed to throw very few temper tantrums while “patiently” waiting for the start of the Summer Olympics 2012 and Mindy Kaling’s new show, The Mindy Project (due out in the fall).

3. I have not forgotten the double stroller since that ill-fated day in April after which I understood my family to be banned from the Carters store.

4. I have managed to slug it out with my dear Jillian Michaels more days than not as of late.  This is probably the only thing on this list of which I should seriously be proud.  Trust me, I am.

5.  I have not managed to walk into a Kohls store for 4 months.  Don’t get me wrong, I love Kohls, but every time I walk in, I find amazing deals, leave with a boatload of stuff and get a ridiculous high when the bottom of the receipt tells me that I saved (on average) $1500.

6.  I successfully went to a bachelorette party in my decrepit old age and managed to actually stay up past 9pm.

7.  I can report that no one has broken any major bones in our house since October.

8.  When the early childhood “witching hour” (from about 4pm until bedtime) arrives, I typically break down and cry no more than twice/week.

9.  I have not hysterically looked up some mysterious potentially made-up medical condition on WebMD for at least 3 days. (Yes, hypochondria may be the safest diagnosis here).

10.  I managed to think of ten things I can claim as accomplishments to round out this list and provide a nice, even number…
