~ Monday Meanderings ~

  http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff89/lommoh/mondaymeander1.jpg

You should just tack last weeks MM's on this weeks.  I don't know where the week went.  I did get my friends socks sent off and made some jewelery for sale but the rest of the week ???

as Tiany says ....
"Monday Meanderings” is the perfect way to use your blog to keep you accountable to the most important part of your life, your “Home Life”!  Simply pick 5 things each week that will better prepare you to tackle the week ahead!
here are my humble plans....

Bible Study/Devotions~

    I AM still enjoying reading my friend  Bobbie's book "Encouragement Along the Way" .    I love it !   Please go check out her blog. I have been really enjoyed reading it as I exercise on my ex. bike.  What a wonderful way to hit two birds with one stone.


Zone~
 

I wanted to clean out the future Bathroom that is connected to my master bedroom. But with trying to get ready for the Christmas Craft fair it didn't happen...yet.   It will have to wait till after the American Thanksgiving.


Must Do~

This week I have to ...
  
  (My Must To Do List....)


-Get ready for craft fair. I am making fudges.   I am still  hoping to show some successes next week with pics. ( my photobucket account isn't  working for me right now.  I pray to get that fixed this week )

I STILL need to finish...
-Making some earrings, beaded bookmarks, and necklace that friends have ordered.  Plus, make things to drop off at the store that sells my crafts.  And.... make things for the Christmas Craft fair that I am in at the end of the month.

~Ride my exercise bike 3x's this week.( this is a repeat from last week too.
This last week I got on the bike once.  I WILL get on there 3 times !  I find if I don't do it in the morning it doesn't get done.

~Wash, fold, and put away one or more laundry loads a day with the boys help.  ( this has been a success ! )


Train Them Up~

-  With my two older boys I am going to flip flop weeks doing the dishes with one and  with the other have him fold laundry with me. 

We will keep working on being more kind , gentle, and respectful of eachother and doing our chores promptly .

We are continuing  in  Searching for Treasure~ A Guide to Wisdom and Character Development by Marty Elwell
 
  reading to the boys at lunch ...
Created for WORK ~ Practical Insights for Young Men



Menu Planning~
This is another area that I HAVE to work on.

You sound like you have a lot of things to accomplish, no wonder you keep repeating your list. I do hope you get all your crafts done, and the fudge too. :)

Take heart. Last week was a lost week for me. I was too sick to do much. I had the best laid plans on Monday. I even exercised! The rest of the week I was hit hard. This week I am trying to get better and take care of my sick Ryan. It could be another lost week! Well, I guess not lost, because I will be doing my most important job of mothering. :-)
Blessings dear one,
Jenn

I can't wait to see the pictures from your craft fair. There was a season 2 years ago where I made handbags out kids juice boxes. I recall preping for the fair . . . it's a lot of hard work. But also so much fun. You will be in my prayers. Take Crare. Trina

Good luck with all your plans. It sounds as if you have a really busy week planned. I wish I lived near enough to come help you eat all your fudge flops! :)
I'm still working on getting my kids to be more kind, gentle, and considerate with one another too.

I didn't get much done last week either. I started MM today, but will take a while to get it all posted. Wishing you the best with getting all the craft fair stuff ready and with the fudge. Hope your picture problem gets fixed soon. Just glad you can blog!!! Oh, btw, I nominated YOU as Best Encourager - hope you win!!!!!!! Have a great day my SSiC! I'm cold - I think I'll go wash dishes with very hot water, that should warm me up.

I think we are coming up on that time of year when our to do lists are not going to see much progress.
I'm thinking of putting everything on hold and just working on Thanksgiving and Christmas projects. I've gotten bogged down on a Christmas present I started making weeks ago. The pattern (knitting) is a lot more time consuming than I thought. Panic is setting in!

Good for you to ride your bike while doing your devotions! I did that for a short time. I had to keep the bike in the garage as there is no room inside and when the weather got too hot, i quit. I sold the bike at a yard sale, too. Now i miss it and wish i had room for it in the house. So, i am just so impressed that you are doing that.

I pray that your craft fair goes very well. Isn't it fun to do a booth and meet so many people?

Sounds like you have a busy week. I'm working on the exercise thing, too.. I wish I had a bike at my house but I have to either walk or walk to the gym.

I love your beaded bookmarks.

God bless,
Sallie
