Two very small wins this week but they feel big:

1) We needed to run errands yesterday to a town we don't usually visit and she didn't argue with me about my driving;

2) She let ME call a window cleaner I had used before to set up to get the windows washed (there are a lot) and she didn't argue and didn't fuss when we got the estimate today.  Very efficient, as I knew they would be.

Whew.  I could get a lot more done if I didn't have to rehash every decision......I'll take what I can get!

    Aren't "wins" wonderful? They just make you feel better about everything.

    Now, about the window cleaner...........not a task I'm good it. My 'clean' windows always look like a three year old with muddy hands attempted to clean them!!

    Thanks for sharing.

    M1- Way to go! 

    Just getting DH to leave the house with me for errands is not a given these days, so -- that you had cooperation on that AND did not have a tug of war about driving...plus a 2nd win in the same day? Huge. And thanks for sharing. I got a lift out of your wins yesterday. So nice to hear.
