An Answered Prayer?

Posted in Cleaning

Last night, as I was lying in bed, I was praying that God would give me a kick in the pants with this CHCHC.  I have been really slacking lately, and I really need to get back on track.  This morning I was wondering around the house aimlessly, wondering what I should do, not feeling like doing anything, when I passed by our calender.  I stopped to read everything that was on it, even though I was pretty sure I knew what was there, I just wanted to waste some more time.  I got to today's date, and saw that my dad and brother were scheduled to come over - in 2 hours.  OH NO!  The house is a mess!  I have no food!  AHHH!!!!  I ran upstairs to wake up my sister - who was still sleeping at 11 a.m.  I got the boys cleaning, and I started making deviled eggs and pasta salad.  I made up a grocery list and sent my sister to the store.  I started cleaning what my boys couldn't.  Then I remember my prayer.  Hmmm.... was this the kick in the pants?  My house didn't get squeeky clean, but it sure did get a good straightening.  Now, tomorrow, I won't be so overwhelmed by all the "stuff" and I can jump back into the CHCHC.  Stairway and hallway.  This includes my linen/medicine/junk closet.  Boy, does that need a good organization.  Hopefully I will be motivated tomorrow.....

I'm behind. Way behind. I'm still in my very, very bad habit of doing a tiny bit here, a tiny bit there --- *sigh* --- I will try to jump back on the wagon with you tomorrow! I don't have a stairway, but I do have a hallway and a linen closet in said hallway!

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 1/2 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L 1, and a new little blessing due Jan 31. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
