August 11, 2006 - What my dd did for me

Today I wroke up late and got behind before my feet hit the floor.  When I got behind I sort of just gave up.  When I sort of gave up, I got lazy.  When I got lazy, my list was not getting done.  As I sat at my computer wasting away my day, my dd was busy.  She was busy cleaning her room.  I heard her in there but thought that she was playing.  She came running out and saying, "Mama, Mama, I cleaned my room!"  She told me to come and look.  And it was clean, very clean.  I hugged her and told her how proud of was of her. I had not told her to clean her room.  As I went back to the computer I felt so happy that she is becoming such a big girl, but sad because I was doing nothing.  So I cut the computer off and went to work.  I got one more room finished.  And I felt so much better!  It is funny how I think I am here to teach my children things and they end up teaching me some things.

 

My List

  1. Clean the school room (Done)
  2. Organize books, etc
  3. Finish making lesson plans, etc (Half Done)
  4. Clean the rest of the house (4 rooms down, 3 more to go)
  5. Much much more things I need to do that I just can't think of right now
  6. Clean up dd's room (Done! Not by me but by Rose!)
  7. Clean Closet

Hurray for Rose!!!

 

Blessings!

Hope

I love it when our kids motivate us ! I understand the work load and so many things to do and not enough motivation to do it. I am in the same boat and you have motivated me ! Thank-you my SSiC ! ( Sweet Sister in Christ ) I have organised some but have lots to go. I hope you have a very Blessed Lords Day. God Bless.

Aren't kids great? My 5 yo Carmen likes to help but is more cooperative on her own terms and less so when I give her a chore! (We're working on that!) Take each day at a time. Things will get done, try not to get discouraged. You've already checked several things off, good for you!! I'm not making a list because it WOULD discourage me, there are so many things I need to do! (Denial is an ugly word!) Have a great week!
