31 Days to Clean... maybe...

31 days to clean! This is what I need. Day 1 was today. The task for the day, the kitchen. Dishes, Ugh! (My second least liked chore, actually third least behind trash and toilet)

We recently switched up jobs and the new person responsible for dishes is still learning. This has created quite a back up this past weekend and lots of work for Momma. 


So, it seems like a good day for  the kitchen. Well that is until this happened and we needed to make sure he would be okay.  
(Dropped concrete block on it)

And then errands that needed to be run for Daddy for business. And of course the usual: nursing baby, school with the girls, diapers, meals, baths and all that fun stuff. 

And don't let me forget that I didn't realize that we were out of both dishwasher detergent and dish soap until after we were home from being out and about.

We have just finished supper. I am waiting for hubby to get home from class and an impromptu trip to the store for said soaps. 

Because, I have no system for cleaning other then do the next thing. My house is normally a wreck and it must be brought under control. I will get my kitchen done today! (At least the corner pictured above, which is really the worst of it anyhow)


UPDATE: Dishes all done. Corner of the kitchen cleaned.

On the First Day of 1st Grade

We started school today! It is still hard to believe that Catherine is already at the "schooling" age. We are using My Fathers World again this year as we were pleased with Kindergarten and are looking forward to all that this curriculum offers. Unfortunately our school day did not get off to the start that I had hoped and planned for. My calendar still isn't ready (oh well) - I did however have everything I needed for the lessons today. There is a rule to Homeschooling - I'm not sure if anyone has ever written on it - I am sure some wise person has, as I have heard it over and over again. "Do not plan anything in day during lesson time." (ie. appointments, errands, etc.) If you do it is so hard to get back to "school". Well my nurses visit to confirm pregnancy was this morning at 10 - right in the middle of the school day. With God's help we prevailed this afternoon and stuck to the plan that we mapped out for our "school" ...

A new persective on the Rat Race...

Okay, so this morning I was listening to Alistair Begg on WAGP and the whole "rat race" thing became clear. It is not so much the need to make time for the "important" treasures, but to find the moments in the middle of the race. "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28 He is in control of where I am every second of the day. So when I am seeking after His will - when my will is that of the Lord's - then I am not in a "rat race" but in His will, fulfilling His purposes. My focus is on Him and and conforming my will to his. Which means a lot of checks and balances throughout the day of my flesh...

30 Days of Thankfulness

Yes, I have missed a few days.  Like I said, life happens here and as thankful as I am I must admit it is not my first priority to record all the reasons.  I must say really thinking about it and making a list has really helped me to be thankful in the ups and downs of my days. Reason # 8 I am thankful that I am able to homeschool my children.  Some call me crazy, some call me amazing.  Well, I know that I am crazy, but that was before we decided to homeschool   Amazing, definitely not!  The amazing is all from God!  Without Him I would never be able to do anything that we have set out to do, let alone homeschool.  I am grateful for the time that I am able to spend with my children.  Our school day does not run on the 7 am - 3 pm school clock (well something like that...I really don't know how the school clocks run these days).  We "school" all day, everywhere.  We were convicted, my husband more so...
