Blessings From Home

Wednesday at Home

Good morning all,

     Well, I'm up early, I've had my daily quiet time with the Lord, reading in Luke 1 about the pending birth of our Lord and the birth of John.  I've had a peanut butter sandwich with a glass of milk, a glass of orange juice to take my vitamins and a tylenol to help with the aches of the last trimester, and I just finished my cup of coffee. I'd say I'm starting off on the right foot, for once.

The mornings of the last few weeks have not been starting so well. I've been having trouble getting up and going in the morning, sometimes not getting out of bed until 8am or later, which means I lose any quiet time I might be blessed to have because the kids are already up, and I am forced into getting started on the rest of the day. I've been praying that the Lord would help me in this area, and that if I do need extra sleep to help me get to bed earlier or allow time for a short nap during the day, and so at 6am, my eyes popped open, and I was wide awake.

So here I am with a full day ahead of me, and lots to do. The last couple of days have been "nesting" days. I've had bursts of energy and have been accomplishing quite a bit, mostly working in the family room, which is the largest room in our house and the hub of our home, where we watch movies, play games, eat our daily meals, homeschool, etc. I did some decluttering, deep cleaning, and organizing, and even some decorating. I got all the homeschool stuff straightened and organized and everthing is so much nicer in here now. I'm going to finish up in here today and I'll get a picture to post later so you can see the fruits of my labor. lol.

I'm not sure where today will lead me. I've not been following my basic weekly plans, but I still have been getting some much needed things done and I'd rather get all the rooms done and then start on a basic weekly cleaning plan. I will probably work in the kitchen today and get some deep cleaning and organizing done there, along with some baking. And if I have the time, I may work in the master bed and bath as well. Those are three other rooms that would bless me so much more if they were clean and organized. We also have school to do, which I will begin on in about 30 minutes, and  I need to clean out the fridge and make my weekly menu and shopping list. And I will wash at least one load of denim.

I need to bake some banana bread and some granola. I was going to do that yesterday, but time got away from me. For dinner, I think we'll be having some pinto beans and cornbread. It's a nice cool day and a pot of beans sounds so good. Well, I'm off to get started on my day. I pray your day is a blessed one!
