BFS Assignment #103 It keeps going, and going, and going…. (Energizer)

Posted in Blogger Friend School

Memory Verse:

Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. 1 Timothy 4:15 (NIV)

Intro: It keeps going, and going, and going…. (Marketing credit: Energizer)

Housekeeping: that household mess, it keeps going and going and going. It’s a perpetual chore that we diligently need to keep going on to stay on top it. We all have different ways of keeping ourselves energized.

Assignment: How do you keep energized so you can get it all done? bouncy music? treat it like a workout? Do you use a schedule?, a housekeeping binder system? luck of the draw system?.. or is this an area where you need encouragement? Do you need God’s help to keep order and beauty in your dwelling place? Take this week to tell us how You diligently keep going with your housekeeping chores.

I wish I could say that I had a special system that I used to get everything done around my house and to keep organized, but the truth is, I have a hard time getting things finished or even remembering sometimes where I put them! My kids blame it on my "old age!" lol The truth is, since I started homeschooling, I feel like I have less time to get all the things done that I need to do during the day. Does anyone else feel that way?

I have to say I feel like Pat does a lot of the time. It is hard when you have spent a few hours cleaning only to have them walk right behind you and mess it all up again. URGHHH! That can be very frustrating.

I find the best time for me to clean is when EVERYONE is in bed. No distractions and no interruptions! I have tried different ways to try and organize my time to be more productive, but I have not found a way that works well for me...........yet!

Part of our assignment was to share with you some before and after pics of a space we have been working on/your favorite tools/or a youtube video of music you like to listen to while doing housework. I just LOVE to listen to Phillips, Craig, and Dean. Their music is so uplifting! Please take a moment to view my video or Mercy Came Running. You will be certainly be blessed!

Please scroll to the bottom of my page and pause my playlist before viewing the video! :D

Do you have any suggestions that might be of help? Please feel free to leave a comment with any ideas you may have.

Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be our confidence and will kep your foot from being snared.

Proverbs 3:25-26

Have a great week!

Blessings~
Laura

Don't know if I have an ideas but I am on yours and Pat's side with the fustration thingy. Luckily, now that my kids are getting older-it doesn't happen so often...except the 7 yold. But hey-our house looks and feels lived in and that is what we want (usually). Have a great week and thanks for posting.

Oct. 10, 2008 - You're Grounded?

Posted by drew1064

If I have a task that I have put off for too long, or something particularly unpleasant or difficult, I will gound myself until it's completed! Grounded means no phone calls, I'm not allowed to go anywhere or have friends over. Even at forty-something it always works and when I am done I always have a treat for myself! I guess that's the literal meaning of self-discipline!
