Fulfilled Friday

This week I:

1. Did dishes everyday. (Don't tell Thom, but there will be an extra Valentine given to someone very special in my life. I have fallen head over heals! Thank you, Frigidaire.)

2. Found the bottom of my dirty clothes hamper. (After the stomach bug, this has been a loooong time coming.)

3. I freed up 4 g on my computer. That's a lot of picture burning.

4. I fasted today. I always aspire to fast every Friday, but can't seem to make it happen. Today it did, though. Thanks be to God.

5. I called a family member every day this week.

So what did you do this week?

Fulfilled Friday

1. I voted because "I'm glad to be an American where at least I know I'm free..." Well, at least for the next 72 days.
2. I read Fit and Fabulous in 15 Minutes by Theresa Tapp. It promises many great health benefits in only 15 minutes. I'm convinced, so:
3. I ordered an exercise DVD and have made a commitment to stick with this.
4. I raked all the leaves in the yard. All 13 huge bags worth!
5. I sent my kids over to play with the neighbors. Twice. I'm not social. We haven't many kids in the neighborhood. And I never want to impose on others, but we were outside and he was outside throwing the football to himself, so I sent the kids over to play football with him. Now we always want to see if Tony is home.

Fulfilled Friday

This week I:
1. Finished my Rosary for my Rosary swap and sent it.
2. Prayed fervently for the elections, found my registration card and identified my election place.
3. Met with my Little Flowers to work on our blankets which we are donating for charity. Adeline finished hers.
4. Got sick and got better.
5. Caught up on my Catechism readings.

What did you accomplish this week?

Fulfilled Friday

1. Finished reading my novel: Loving Frank by Nancy Horan. I can't say I loved the book, but it has got me looking into Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture and it is gorgeous!!
2. Finished the neck ties for my little girls' aprons. I wish I could say I'm completely done with all sixteen, but... I guess it will be a busy weekend.
3. Spent some one on one time with my hubby. We forget to do this often. But all the babies were actually sleeping at the same time, so we got to talk in peace!
4. Spoke civilly to my mom. (Looong story.)
5. Potty trained Wyatt. I didn't accomplish this during this past week, but I am especially grateful for it today after changing four soiled diapers from Isaac.

What did you do this week?

3. Got up the courage to meet new friends on Monday.
4. Got my exercise in on three days.
