Lenten Accountability Post on Sunday

Welcome to this years' first LAPS post! Here's where I tell how it's going so far.

Lenten Goals:
1) improve my health
a - exercise each morning I'm off work - Let's see. I missed one or two opportunities to do this...but otherwise am on track!
b - decrease sugared drinks (specifically, only have them at work...where sugar is a must) - Except for 1 Dr Pepper on my birthday, this is going very well! {Hey! it was my BIRTHDAY ya know!}

2) improve my marriage
a - no more play fighting - doing pretty good at this. I have smacked the man once or twice on the butt...but he deserved it!!
b - take over a household chore I do not usually do -- dusting and vacuuming - So far I have dusted and vacuumed both kids rooms and the hall and I'm just about to vacuum the living room. Once I finish picking up all those TOYS!

3) improve my serenity
a - play piano each morning house is empty - I missed 2 opportunities to do this as I got caught up on the computer...but I've taken advantage of all the others
b - pray short rosary with kids each night I'm off work - Well, we've gotten as far as the first very short prayer and then our regular bedtime prayer. I'll try adding the Apostoles Creed this week...

All in all I feel like I'm doing well. I never expected to be perfect in this observance, but each item that I do for God is pleasing in His eyes.

Also, while I did not put any limits on my blogging...the fact that I have added things which take time to accomplish automatically means that I will be on the computer less. So you may see me catching up on several days' worth of posts at once. I do try to always leave a comment or two but please know that I AM reading!

Now, how are YOU doing with your Lenten observations??
