Blessings From Home

Friday at Home

Hello all,

     I pray your week has been blessed in all things. We have been busy working away on homeschooling and homekeeping. We've had some training issues here at home with the kids and have been working on that also, mostly discontentment and sibling rivalry.

I'm so thrilled that we have finally worked out a homeschool routine that is working for us. We have managed to do school and be done by lunchtime or shortly after all week. Partly because I'm giving each child a time limit on how long I let them do their work before moving on. That way if I have a dawdler, it won't hold us all back, and they will have to finish their work on their own time, which seems to be a big motivator to get it done.

I've been feeling extra tired this week, needing to go to bed early or on some days take an afternoon nap, but amazingly, I've still been able to keep up with the house even while feeling so tired, and that in itself is one of my biggest blessings this week. It always seems when I'm not at my best, that my home suffers immensely, and takes so much more time to get back in order.

I still need to finish working in the family room today, but we've been maintaining what's done. My bedroom has become such a sanctuary for me, especially on these days where rest is so precious to me. And it takes me less than 5 minutes to straighten it before heading out of their in the morning.

Today and tomorrow holds much more cleaning and work around the house. I'm hoping to finish up the family room, and clean the bathroom today, and tomorrow I would really like to work on the laundry room and outside. But I've learned to just work where I feel led to, and not stress about it. I know tomorrow is a big football game hubby is wanting to watch, so I'm not sure what we'll be able to get done.

Well, I better get back to the school table for now. I pray your day is blessed and fullfilling!
