I haven’t blogged much lately and thought I should at least write something instead of just posting pictures. :)

- This past weekend we worked in our garage. It was a mess and unable to house a car. We had started cleaning it out a while ago but never finished. We had sorted and made specific piles all over … and they were still all over. Also, anything that is no longer wanted in the house is sent to the garage and my sweet children just pile it anywhere that is open.

Soooo, we sorted, stacked, arranged and even got rid a van full of stuff. AND now, the van fits in the garage with room to spare. Once we find a new home for a couch and loveseat that are out there, we will have even more room. Yay for cleaned out garages! And Yay for my older daughters who worked sooo hard in the garage and my younger ones who were so sweet and good while the rest of us worked.

- Monday and Tuesday … I spent those days in recovery from working in the garage. I really over did it in the garage and paid the price for it. I am still struggling a bit today. Having a chronic illness is a hard thing to live with but I thank the Lord that I am at a place right now that I was indeed able to help work in the garage.

Today … We are having homemade chicken soup for lunch. I love it when a meal is already made and just needs to be warmed up. This soup was supposed to be last night’s dinner but it was not done on time. We will probably have yeasted kefir bread with butter as a side.

I am hoping to sew. My older girls created some Capri pajama bottoms patterns in some really neat sewing software that I bought some time ago. (PatternMaster) Their first pairs are going to be made out of cream colored muslin … they are our tester pants! The girls cut out the patterns and I am going to sew them up. If they fit well we will make some out of flannel. I also need to finish cutting out another pair of pajama bottoms for my littler ones too. Of course then I need to sew them too.

I have a praise … last night I slept well! I slept over six hours and only remember waking up briefly once. I did not get up to go to the bathroom or wake and stay awake. It was wonderful! I do not remember the last time I slept that long.

I just remembered something else I need to do … make a grocery list. A meal menu would be a good thing too. And a basics list for our buying group order.

“To do” lists never end, do they? :)

Have  blessed day!
