Small Successes

FaithButton

1.  Revised my chore schedule, again, and this time it seems to be working.  I have one child 100% dedicated to laundry.  This child is now receiving a larger weekly allowance than the other kids because of this job (although, we generally don't pay per job.....laundry for 9 is a biggy...and it is helping me soooo much).

2.  Made a list of "to do" items.  It is a bit overwhelmingly huge.  To the left of the list are columns for Priority, Due Date, Talk to dh, Something kids could do.  (I really do love Excel!)

3.  Took the kids to Mass last Friday and we are going again this morning (if I can get everyone up and moving soon!)  God has put me in the wonderful position of having older kids who request to go to Mass.  Now, if he'd only give the younger set a nudge in that direction :)

Nice list! Any one of those would count as HUGE successes at my house.

AH! But my youngest is about 1.5 years older than your youngest! I haven't had a 2.5 year old before and still be pregnant until now. Guess I'm getting older.......

umm... I meant to say I haven't had a 2.5 year old before and NOT be pregnant right now.

Good for you! Can you send me the updated chore schedule? I want to gleam good ideas from your precedence. (Translation = I wanna steal your ideas.)

Oh and a haircut pict, please. I go in on Tuesday. I think I am going to rock the bald look.
