Clashing of Organizational Styles
Man the canons! Sound the alarm! Assume battle stations! It’s time for another knock down drag out battle of the sexes over the organization of the home school. “You are so disorganized.”, he accuses. “Well you never help out with anything”, she counters. The battle explodes and ends up with some new hopeless plan to be more organized which will inevitably end in more disappointment. The plan is only dealing with the surface issue. At the heart there is a much deeper concern. The perceived disorder and disarray is in fact something else. It is a clashing of organizational styles between husband, wife, and child.
Keeping the Home
Setting Down the Bread of Idleness to Set Priorities
I have been eating the bread of idleness lately.
A Biblical proverb is: "She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness." You would think that idleness would be impossible with four children and all the duties that come with motherhood. It's not that I'm idly doing nothing, it is that I am busily doing nothing. I have been keeping up with the minimum, but the minimum only. There has been no excellence in what I do.
