Yesterday was one of those days you wish you could repeat more often, it was simply motivated…..I don’t know what precipitated it, or why it was….but it was great to get meals in the freezer, meals to share with a friend, and a good meal on the table…and to enjoy dinner with our family.
Home Sanctuary’s challenge for the day for Company Girl points was to swish a bathroom for 40 pts…..suggested was a video on how to do such a thing, I believe seeing the British lady talk so seriously about the loo is what did it for me…..we have a boys bathroom and that alone is worth buying the environmental suit for and seperate gloves for cleaning it.
This morning I had a writing project to get off early, and was up at 4 thanks to the handy dandy labrador next door who has taken it as his personal commitment to make sure I make my early morning get up times. At 7:20 I took a break to taxi son2 to school for the beginning of his new semester. D2 was still sleeping and I had every intention of keeping her that way until the coffee finished….alas, her bright shining face was ready at 7:45 to get going so begin homeschooling we did.
Dh is preparing for a week of important business meetings, so I am working today on getting his wardrobe prepared and thinking through dinner….tonight will be the Tilapia since we did the chicken and dressing last night….its a new dish for me, so we’re still experimenting with recipes to see what we enjoy as a family.
I’ve been on Facebook a good bit the last few days, friends from high school have found me there and I’ve enjoyed hearing from them. It never fails to surprise me how much quieter my daily life is than most of theirs…..but then again, it was that way in high school too. I was never much the popular nor cool teen, more the not very noticed one they all knew. We seem so old fashioned compared to most of their lives, but truth is, I like me this way, and it works for us.
We are not into many social scenes outside of church and a few close friends, our family and home is the center of our days, and I’d still prefer to be with my husband and family most days over anyone else….though there are days my sanity requires girl’s day outs and/or shopping time to fill my mind with visual beauties to ponder.
The New Year has brought a few changes to my routine, plans to limit as well as define activities I want to commit to…..like spending 4 15 minute periods on the house period….guilt free….no more…..and taking the time to walk….and relax…..and certainly more bubble baths…..preferably without a little black dog interrupting….
God is good…..take time to listen to his whispers….He loves you well.
