Good One Susie! Fun!
Since moving back to Iowa 3 years ago and starting to work for myself, I have built my business here from nothing to something pretty amazing. Year after year I have been building and growing and I am doing the best I ever have in 15 years and now it's on my terms. Yay Me!
And Yay to all of you for your fantastic feats too! Have a great weekend!!
BabyRN, that's terrific! You are really on a roll!
And, Kala, what a huge accomplishment! I hope we can book a trip through you someday...
Yesterday I passed the first test in a series I'm taking for professional certification... It was only one test of many, but it felt good to get this process started - on a successful note.
Those are all great!!! Congrats to all of you!!!!
Mine is piddely, but I am planning/throwing a baby shower for my SIL, and have never done this before. I have all the invites finally sent, as of this AM!!!
Great one Suzie!
YAY Kala and Janelle! AWESOME! Tash, you'll do good, if you need help just email me!
I have been applying for new jobs, I finally heard back from one of them last night, the email said the HR person was going to be calling me, if I didn't hear back Friday to call on Monday or call on Friday. SO I just called and the HR person said I was the first person to call him and I was able to set up a time for an offical phone interview on Monday,
I'm SOOOOOO Excited! I have a good feeling about this! I would LOVE this job! And I'd be back downtown! OH That'd be heaven!
And H made the list so hopefully he'll get the job he wanted too!
PLUS! It's not 109*out today
I've lost 5 pounds since June 26th. I still have a long way to go, but I feel like I'm off to a good start.
These are great, good job ladies!
I just met with admissions to get the ball rolling on my Masters degree. I'm nervous and anxious, but mostly excited
In other awesome news, I took off today and Monday... just because. Double yay!

Great post idea and WOW we have some pretty great ladies and accomplishments on this board! Congrats to all!
I have a couple- I am most proud of how much my kiddos have grown and accomplished this summer and that I have been home to see it happen. Super proud of Ella for getting potty trained and for being able to recognize all her letters and tell me a word that starts with each one! Brody boy is growing so much too and is almost crawling
We also refinanced our mortgage last year to a ten year loan which I was nervous about and not sure if we could swing it but its going great and we have a little less than nine years until our house is paid off- yay!
that is fantastic, great for you!
*I started working out again 2 days ago.
*I haven't cried yet when leaving for work. I want to because I miss my daughter.
*I'm impressing the people at my new job.
These are all awesome! I don't have any accomplishments like the ones listed.
The only thing I'm currently patting my back on is that I haven't freaked out about the current construction in our house. Our only bathroom is a total disaster area, two holes in the kitchen ceiling and still about another 2-3 months of work to do. I get pretty stressed when things aren't "perfect" but I've managed to keep relatively "easy going" with all of this.
Wow you guys rock!! Congrats to all the great news...
Mine- I recently got a nice chunk of change due to my company closing and instead of spending it on fun stuff, I took the "MM" route and paid off all consumer debt and put a load into savings. It feels amazing being CC debt free.
I have two...
First: I've made major progress in my sewing abilities. I started sewing pillowcase dresses 18 months ago and now I'm pretty damn good at about anything I sew ;-)
Two: I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of SAH and am proud of the mom that I am to G. (Now hopefully in a few weeks/month I can be proud of being a good daycare provider too).
This was a great QOTD! You guys rock!! You should all be very proud of yourselves!
