Notes from the Laundry Pile

Sep. 13, 2006 - How Ironic

How Ironic is it that when studying Orderliness in KONOS, your world suddenly becomes less orderly?

I"m sitting in a room surrounded by laundry (Some in basket some not). J-man has poured all the baby toys out of their basket - he tried the tinker toys - but my hollering at him stopped that abruptly(Good thing, too. They'd been picked up three times already)

 

Okay - so did you miss me??

 

We've been BUSY...scratch that...I'VE been busy.

 

I did hear something that made me think - "If you're walking with Jesus - it's time to stop wasting time."

 

Ouch. So I realized that after the Lord told me to turn off the TV - that I immediately turned more toward the computer. *sigh*  Okay - that's a journal entry.

 

School has been a bust the last few days - with sudden errands - and J-man and Mini-E needing attention. Good news, though - E's tooth finally broke through. I'm still inspecting to see if we're getting 2 teeth.

 

And I suddenly find myself up to my waist in the calling that the Lord has on me. I'm playing Keyboard 3 times this week! I'm so glad that in my weakness - He is strong.

 

But I am again - finding God's sense of humor just outrageous. I got the call to play at Monday noon - to play on Tuesday. I guess that's not waist high - that's off the deep end of the dock.  

 

--- Okay -- I don't have much to say about School Work. We've been studying the solar system still...(Gosh - I have to put chicken nuggets in the oven -- gotta go rehearse for Thursday. Definitely off the dock,here.)... but nothing concrete.

 

The fun thing that happened was the day Mini Me made the observation -- "It will be fun when we're all older (meaning the kids) because then we can all play together".

 

Took the J-man to get his hair cut...He screamed and pitched a most royal of fits. I wondered what had happened to my normally docile child and realized that pretty much he's 2 and a half. He'd gotten his hair cut so nicely in the past...I guess he forgot about it between cuts.

 

His hair doesn't look too bad - but I had to hold him down.

 

What else was there in my life to amuse you??

 

If I think of it - I'll let you know.

I've gotta get chicken in the oven or the Laundry pile will be filled with MORE whining. *L* And then we'll have cheese, I guess.

 

Bleach free blessings!!

signing off for the day!

Where are you playing? Isn't God cool? Are you playing Thursday night? I know it's hard for Mel to go places in the evening. I'm excited about the tea - I believe I'm even coming child-free.

I had a busy day and am exhausted, so I'll talk to you tomorrow!

Yes, I definitely think God has a great sense of humor. We'll be studying Orderliness this year too and it kinda freaks me out. I am not at ALL organized and orderliness is not my thing. It's definitely hard to learn the lessons of the Lord when we're trying to teach these lessons to our children. You feel like you should have this down by now, but it's a constant struggle.

Thanks for a great blog to read on my downtime. I definitely know what you mean about switching from tv to computer. I rarely watch tv anymore, but I need to spend less time on the computer. Ugh.

Sending you cyber hugs, Amelia!! I've been being convicted of some similar things. I recall going thru major disorder while we studied orderliness, too. Wait a minute, isn't all this schooling for the kids?? It seems to me, I have more to learn than they do!
Keep pressing on! Holly

About Me
There are four kids here in the laundry pile, often times, playing king of the hill. Which amuses me - because I am the supreme high ruler of this laundry! *Looking around* ... There's also 1 hubby and a cat in here somewhere....
