So I have finally gotten to the point of realization that these are just going to be here for a while. They aren't going to go away till I have the baby, even if that is another week. So on a good note, my house is actually clean, my laundry is put away, I made a nice dinner tonight, and I am going to spend some time reading to the girls for a while tonight. I figure I might as well overdo it if it isn't going to matter. Hopefully this attitude will last for the week. I have been reading Proverbs, and Chapter 6 about being lazy was a good motivator for me today. I'll let you know how tomorrow goes.
I am mom to 4 little girls: Sarah 5, Hannah 3, Stephanie 2, and Annie born July 2006. We love learning and are learning to love. We are using Sonlight Kindergarten and a Pre-K schedule I put together.
Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us. We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed. We always carry the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. II Corinthians 4:7-10
