Oops! I missed Small Successes last week! We are in our fourth week of school & I'm still trying to get us organized & on some type of schedule. At the rate I'm going, we might be on track by Christmas!!
Anyway, here are this week's Small Successes...
1) I went through all the boys' clothes in the crawlspace, decided what to keep & what to send to my in-laws for their garage sale.
2) No matter how much I've wanted to stay in bed lately, I've been making myself get up, go downstairs, start coffee, & read the day's readings. On Sept. 1, I also started working my way through Proverbs - one chapter per day. My plan is to continue this each month.
3) Casinodad & I had a night to ourselves last Saturday. My parents took all four munchkins overnight. We rented a movie (Pink Panther 2 w/ Steve Martin - very, very funny & clean too!), had a nice relaxing dinner (chicken, green peppers, & pineapple in soy sauce, rice, cheese wontons, & coconut-crusted shrimp w/ mango chutney sauce), & just enjoyed each other's company. We slept in the next morning (we'd gone to Mass Saturday evening), went to Tim Hortons for breakfast, & stopped at a couple garage sales. We really needed this time to focus & spend w/ each other.
What are your successes? Share them at Faith & Family Live & while you're at it, check out others!

Wow, your date night sounds so GREAT and needed. We need to do that too! Thanks for listing yours as inspiration!
As a soon (next year) to be homeschooling mom...how do you balance school and chores like #1? I'd love to know the secret!
Much love!
