Here it is: the beginning of Encourage-me Sundays! So this week I am so excited to share that I managed to clean my bathroom—including the tub. I tend to always skip the tub because I use that daily shower spray stuff, but a good elbow-rubbing never hurt anyone’s tub. I kept putting off cleaning my bathroom because I don’t like to do it while III’s awake and trying to crawl in the toilet, and I don’t like to do it while he sleeps because I’m afraid of waking him. Sounds like I just don’t want to do it, huh? Well, fortunately, with just me and the kids it doesn’t seem to get nearly as filthy as when a certain male parent is around. Interesting…
So I buckled down, bribed Emma to entertain her brother while keeping him corralled in his crib, and I did it. And I feel so much better. I have the greatest intentions for cleaning my bathroom much more frequently, but that to-do always seems to get put off till the next day (unless company’s coming, but that hasn’t been an issue).
So what are you proud of this week? It can be something little or something big; just be aware that you do accomplish things, and you should relish in every thing. You can link up here to your own post, or just leave a comment (or even both!). Let’s encourage ourselves together! (I am also proud of figuring out and trying out this whole linky thing, so please join me just so I can see if it works!)

The Daring Kitchen

I am proud of you for being such a good Mommy. (I am ALWAYS happy & proud when I scrub out my bathtub, too. Must be a woman thing.)
And, I am proud of me for taking off my boot (this is the modern version of a plaster cast) and walking around a bit.
The doc had said to start taking it off and then to gradually wean myself off of it. Easier said than done — because it still hurts. Go US!!!
