It's Thursday and that means it's the day we stop to look back at the past week's small successes; those little things that cummulatively, add up to a lot of love poured into seven days. Before we begin, I'd like to just let you know how honored I am to host this weekly event for all of you. It is a very heartening experience to visit your blogs and see so many people just seizing life with joy. You are inspiring.
This week I:
1) got the school uniform situation squared away. I still need to go to the (ugh) ugly shoe store for the ugly shoes, but getting six kids outfited for returning to school is almost done.
2) Ordered new backpacks --old ones were ripped, grimy and had fought the good fight, it was time for new blood.
3) helped set up fishing poles --husband took the boys lake fishing; they loved it!
4) Worked out on the Wii every day.
5) Still fighting to continue Flylady.
6) Visited with two good friends on the phone, I miss them both.
7) Decided to engage in solidarity reading, am starting Passage to India, as my daughter is also reading it.
Now it's your turn. I look forward to seeing what y'all did this past week!
Good Morning! Love the reading-- I love reading what the kids are reading. (Usually)
ReplyDeleteWow! YAY for you guys!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that "fishing with Daddy" one,especially! Thanks for hosting:)
Looks like a good mix of productive tasks & personal enjoyments. Congrats on a great week.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think "school shoes," I remember the black and white oxfords that were a required part of my uniform at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School. I liked their look! But even better was the "new shoe smell" they gave off on the first day of school when I slipped them on my feet.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry, I was also going to comment on how productive and also organised things sound. Don't worry though, I am not expecting you to always be that way, just glad this week has had some organised successful moments! It feels good, at the end of the day when this happens.
ReplyDeleteI still have washing up from Tuesday night to do, so we won't go there hahaha!
Work's worn me out this week, that's my excuse!
Sounds like a good week :) Flylady and I are not currently lining up but I really liked it when it was working for us. Maybe another time...
