Monday Meanderings (Oct. 29)

Well it has been quite an eventful three weeks.Hopefully in the next few days I can catch up and post some pictures. We have been enjoying all this beautiful weather the Lord has been blessing us with. In a place as gloomy as Seattle it is an absolute sin not to be outdoors when the sun shines this time of year.

Bible Study/Devotions:
Devotional: 15 Minutes Alone With God.
Memorization: Continue Proverbs 31
Must Do:
Finish planner notebook
Create list of hymns to learn
Develop better morning school routine
Zone
I am currently working a zone a day. It seems I have the domino effect: if I spend too much time concentrating in one room everything else becomes a disaster. Until I get that under control I think rotating on a daily basis is best.
Today (Mon.)I did the pantry for a little while
Tues: kitchen
Wed: Laundry day so I will work on the laundry room
Thur: our bedroom (the major victim of the stash and dash I did when company was coming a few weeks ago)
Fri: I am trying to make Fri my office day so I will work on my computer desk
Train Them Up
We need to brush up on manners in less than perfect circumstances (need to work on this myself too.) We were having lunch with my mom down at Pikes Place Market in a restaurant that was less than family-friendly (something that really makes MY attitude less than pleasant). At the end of the meal my mother, who was paying for this lunch, asks "So how was it." To my horror my oldest pipes up "Oh, I've had better." Something to this effect has happened more than once recently. The brutal honesty of children is just too much sometimes.

Bible Study/Devotions: we have always done Scripture memeory as a family but there are some things I want to memorize just for myself. It has always been my desire to memorize proverbs 31 so this week I am going to start work on this.
Must Do: Create a more complete school schedule especially for me. The boys who can read are doing well with doing the things that don't require me but my non-reader has been neglected. I need to create and start implementing a schedule so everyone gets the time they need with me.
Zone: This week I am going to focus on getting the living room fixed up. We will be having my parents visit soon and currently there is barely enough room for the people who live here to be comfortable.
Train Them Up: The boys have gotten a little too used to mom being busy with the baby and we are seeing some issues with fighting and laziness really coming to the surface. They need total revamping. This week we are going to start with implementing a better before bed routine that will facilitate them getting up early in the morning better prepared for their day.
