My Not-So-Small Successes

1. At my wise hubby's encouragement I went to bed at the new time-changed hour last night to awaken this morning along with the kiddos and without so much groggy. It worked! As a result I actually had us all fed, dressed, AND rode the bike AND showered before he left for work. That sure starts the day off better! Now we'll see if I can do it two days in a row...

2. I finally, FINALLY finished hemming two stubborn pair of jeans. They were my first attempt at sewing denim and neither I nor my machine were quite prepared for our 3 week adventure...but half a spool of thread, six drops of oil, and lots of restitched stiches later, we made it! I feel like I just climbed a mountain...a mountain I'd be okay with not climbing again. ; )

3. We've established a new routine to make it to my Holy Hour! I've been swapping kiddos with a friend for almost 4 years to make it easier, but schedules have changed. So, my newest neighbor and I are going to give it a whirl. I always do so much better when it's part of "the plan" and someone else is relying on me. It's such an incredibly important hour in my week...here's hoping for success!
