Yesterday we spent the day rearranging and cleaning, not my favoite thing to do.  I didn't use to mind but it seems the more kids I had the less I enjoyed it. I used to be faithful to the once a week deal but now it seems like more on a need to do basis.

I do however like to rearrange....we have a pretty tiny house and things start to get on my nreves after a while and I need to do something different...so yesterday it was our bedroom. It seems to be almost a full day job every time I begin...which makes for a long and tiring day, but its worth it in the end. We did manage however to get all our school work done which was encouraging....but this morning we are fearing car trouble....aghhh.....don't you hate car trouble? It's always so inconvient and you never have enough money. So I am praying that it is a minor fix and we will be on our way in no time. We are scheduled to go home to my parents over the weekend to celebrate Easter and all of our Spring birthday's so the kids are really looking forward to it, so Lordwilling we will make it.

It looks like it will be another beautiful day here....so I hope we can accomplish much in little time and let the kids loose. My dh has the day off so it will be a treat for all of us.  I, however, am hoping for a nice long, hot shower , a decaf coffee, and a little bit of quiet time to start my day off....so we'll see.  Although this almost counts as quiet time for me, no one is bothering me at the moment and it is temporarily "quiet."  Now if I could just have something deeply profound and spiritual come to my mind I'd be good to go:)  OK here it goes...."Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts." Lord allow me today to live by  the Spirit of the living God within me...to allow Him to move me and direct my path for today. Not by yelling or harsh words, but by  gentleness and grace. In Jesus name.
