Wonderful Day!!!

Today, my mom and I took Lauren for her cardio appt. I can't believe how good she was! She still cried some, but nothing like her normal! Dr. Moss just couldn't believe how good she's doing! I was so thrilled when she said we'd hold off on the cath until August. Right now, Lauren just doesn't seem to need any adjustments to her stent or coarc repair. Maybe by August she will and we'll really be glad we waited!
For those of you who knew---I've completed my proposal and it's sealed and ready to be mailed!!!! Now it's up to them! For those that didn't know lol--I'm submitting a book title proposal to the Chicken Soup for the Soul production team. It was really quite a process; I also had to include three stories. I think they turned out pretty good. My title proposal is for chd families. I soooo hope it is accepted!!!! Even if they just agree to do the title and I don't have anything to do with it, I'll be happy; of course, I'd really be happy if I get to co-author the book. There's not a lot of money involved, but that's not my reason for doing it. I've really put myself out there by telling several people (mostly pw gals :) but at least I tried!
Monica has got me riled up to get my house more organized :) Really, I do this about 4-5 x a year; this time I'm getting ready for a garage sale and I want to sell some stuff on e-bay.
Cindy had this great suggestion for motivation -- it's called COW (concepts on a wall) -- basically you just use sticky notes and write ideas and put them on a wall (or in my case poster board)--then go back and organize it. It really makes things so much easier to tackle when you see the steps you need to accomplish. By doing this I've accomplished the following in just 3 days: cleaned out 4 rooms so far for yard sale/ebay; finished my proposal; signed up to sale on ebay and got a paypal account; and of course, still cooked and cleaned and played w/the kiddos :) It really works!!!
