Small successes XLVI

In honor of Small Successes moving over to Catholic Mom (go check it out!!) I decided it was time to jump back on board with some successes again (the cool prize pack may have had something to do with that :-D).  Let's see....
  1. Made my "To Do" list of things I'd like to get done in preparation for baby's arrival (first half of July).  There's so much less to do the third time around.  
  2. Along with #1, we're working (as I type in fact) on getting daughter (4.5) and son (2.5) moved into the same bedroom.  Wish us luck.  Daughter will move from her queen bed to a twin, and son will move from his toddler bed in his room/sleeping with us to a twin in the same room as sis.  It will be a process I'm sure.
  3. Have an appt. scheduled for Confession/spiritual direction.  Alllllllllllways good!!
  4. Am trying to power my way through Walking with God: A Journey through the Bible.  I finally got it through inter-library loan, and have it until the 25th of this month.  Late fees are a dollar a day, and I'm not really into that, sooooooo...  I'm about a quarter of the way there.  It's very, very good.  Definitely not incredibly in depth, but a wonderful overview of salvation history.  I have the problem of getting through Genesis and part of Exodus (reading the Bible or with various commentaries) and then falling off the wagon.  Consistently.  This book is so readable, I am confident in finishing.  Hopefully by the 25th!!
CHEERS everyone!!  Head over to Catholic Mom and join in the fun!!!

Thanks for posting, Monica!! As I said on my blog, I was definitely having a "whiney" day and I should be over that (as Wednesday is OVER :) It is good to focus on the good stuff.

I'm sure your kiddos will soon love sharing a room. I find that mine enjoy it a little too much sometimes. I hope the transition goes smoothly.

Yay for confession and spiritual direction! I'm still looking for a spiritual director (they are scarce in a small town), but I'm hoping to at least make it to confession soon.

Good luck with your reading - and blessings as you prepare for your new little one :)

Great list :) So did you ever find the bunk beds you were looking for?

oh and yes, I need to start seriously thinking about what I "need" vs "like" to get done before baby..i can't believe it is upon us so quickly!

I actually have a post coming up on that next week!
