When Tuesday becomes Friday

-
It is easy to have Tuesday become Friday, when it is your last day for the work week. Then begins the work week at home. My goal is to declutter a small space in my home. It will be a very small space because that is all I can get done in two days...maybe only half that.

Another goal is to donate the excess stuffed animals around here. If I can get one area done I know I will feel a bit better.

Rise and shine time was 3am so surely something on my list will get done today.  I would like to get up and talk to God each morning but most mornings the littlest is up before the crack of dawn and then the chaos of the day begins...

Frequently I talk to God on my way to work, as this is my best quiet time.  one day  the chance to hide God's word in our hearts will be gone. So I really want to work on that more with and without the little kids hanging on me.  I am looking for inner peace through the quiet time I can glean at two am...except there is not any quiet in this house at that time. And none at 4,6,8, not even at ten am....!!! I don't think I would survive without the noise! It is a no win proposition lol! Or perhaps it is an everybody wins proposition! They need me as much as I need them.

Well enough rambling for now we have 1 hour to get ready for school.and then I think today's project should be their room a tornado hit......well four tornados but two went back home so when one goes to school I will begin....

Perhaps a dump truck is in order....or just a lot of patience ...and energy! I took different angles so I can compare when I am done tonight. As I look at the picture I notice the chains from the ceiling and since you may notice too I thought I should explain... when the room was first setup we did not have all this stuff in it and DH decided to hang the little ones each a swung! It was great until his wife (me) added all the other junk!   I won't be starting on the cleaning until I get back this morning from ft Carson. I plan to go with the littlest and my two older daughters to look for a gift or two.  

While sitting here and watching the local news they have some billboards downtown put up by the American atheists society stating you can skip church and just be good that is all you need...lol!  Well the joke will be on Mr fish in the end. He is going on my prayer list...Perhaps he should be put on prayer chains across the nation and see what the Holy Spirit does with that!

Well thanks for stopping by I need to get busy with life...after all today is Wednesday and I started this post yesterday!

The contents of this post are from early February. I was going to delete but thought more about it and decided to share. Sorry the pic's are sideways. As I sit at the table and look across to the counter in the middle of the room some call an Island, i bask in the silence that is now. Soon the island will be cluttered with items needed to make lunches and chaos will fill the silence as the house gets moving and kids get ready for school. There's only a few minutes until everyone else starts getting up. Today is hippotherapy for the youngest. The wind is howling right now so they may cancel it if it's too cold for the old horses they don't go out. It's too cold for this old horse! For 3 days we've been able to go outside without coats or sweaters or jackets. Yesterday the storm clouds brewed like they were going to dump an ocean in the yard I ran outside and grabbed seven batts of insulation and took them to the basement to save them from the rain. By

To be or not to be... that is NOT the question!

 It is the day before Thanksgiving and our plans have drastically changed. We will not be going to my daughter's home, and we will not be having turkey with her. I did manage to find a turkey and it looked smallish to me. Turns out it was only a pound smaller than the smallest one at the commissary. We will go for the bone density test this morning, and I will drop the dog off for groomer at my daughter's this morning on the way to the density test.  It might be a ham thanksgiving this year if anything at all. I am not complaining. I don't want to clean or cook as no one in this house even eats all the stuff. That was all yesterday and like everything in my life it changes hourly. We made it to all of our appointments and with the kids in tow! We did not get to any stores, because I do not do stores with kids if I do not have to. The dog got dropped off, the bone density test was done, the equipment for the sleep study got picked up, and 5 D tanks of oxygen. We even managed

Black Friday... White Snow

 It is the day after Thanksgiving and the ground is covered. Black Friday shopping is not something I normally do, so this is not an inconvenience for me. We went to my daughter's home for Thanksgiving and a much smaller group of friends and family were there. My son was not feeling well so we took him some leftovers on our way home. Because the meal was not here, I do not have to deal with the leftovers or the post meal drama of what to do with all the leftover food. But that means no snacking foods either... it is a no-win situation. I get to make fresh food though and that is a good thing. I just tried to go out and return a medical device and the roads were very icy. I decided it was unlike Dunkin' Donuts, not worth the trip. Not to waste getting as far as the General Store I did buy the kids some soda for movie night tonight. We already have lots of popcorn and still some candy available. Now to find a good movie. the dog is being lazy Instead of a good movie we found that
