!. I commissioned my teen girl to color eggs with the littles! Yesterday! Instead of “squeezing it in” on Holy Saturday while I snarl at everyone.
2. I made some phone calls I’ve been putting off, and have kept my nose to my to-do list this week, as a matter of Lenten discipline.
3. I (with lots of help) washed all bedding, vacuumed and flipped all mattresses in the house! That’s my spring cleaning this week.
1. Got treats and little gifts for the Easter baskets for about 20$
2. Held my tongue on several occasions - it was so tempting to freak out but felt so good to realize I hadn’t! Huge success for me ![]()
3. Got an important application filled out and sent it in!
Those Easter outfits! I’ve done the Good Friday shopping spree too. This year the one person who still needs a new dress can drive down the mall and do her own shopping, so I’m off the hook.
1. Helped my neighbours renovate their entire house this week, while managing to keep dinner on the table each night.
2. Got through all of the kids’ doctor appointments.
3. Began my discernment program for my vocation.
I feel like a force of nature this week!
Ugh, I have to do the Easter clothes today….although I don’t think I’ll shop today- maybe just try to figure out if everyone has something to wear. I can shop tomorrow. Last night getting ready for Mass I realized that we might need a couple of things. But everyone looked good for Holy Thursday Mass!
These are awesome successes! Congratulations!!

1. Got to confession on “Reconciliation Monday.” I waiting over an hour on line, but I was happy to see all those people there!
2. Colored eggs with my Kindergarten class without a major spill!! Whooo Whooo! That was fun! : )
3. Have all my Easter Candy bought before Good Friday!
