Blessings From Home

Tiring Tuesday

Well, all are sleeping and I am soon off to bed also. My youngest and I seem to have the same head cold and are both feeling a little yucky. Nothing too serious it seems, so we are taking extra vitamins and eating some soup. The last couple of days have been good ones. I haven't been getting a lot done around the house, but we have been doing really good getting school done. And not just part of it, we've been getting it all done for the first time in probably forever. I'm praying that we can continue on this path from now on.

I'm going to start rearranging the times I'm online as I need to get my priorities straight. I'm going to turn the computers off before I go to bed and not turn them on until we are done with school and I am done with my daily chores for the day. So I will probably manage to be on here after lunch sometime, early afternoon and probably before I go to bed.

I'm trying to do better with keeping the motivation to take care of my home and family, and I've learned that I can't do it all at once. I wish I could, but it's not possible. So I'm going to pick things up as I can. My main focus right now is schooling. I want to be able to get up and start school by 8am and be done by lunch time. Once we get that down, I'll start filling things in around it. Things will still have to be done around the house, but I'm not going to force myself to have certain things done by certain times yet. One thing we do every day and have been for a while is our afternoon quick pick up, which is nice for hubby to come home to a clean family room, and it only takes us less than 15 minutes. I will also be working towards an earlier bedtime for me, so that I can start working towards getting up earlier. My goal is to be in bed by 10pm, or even by 9:30pm and read or journal until then, but I'd like to at least be in bed by 10pm. So, obviously, I'm past my bedtime...so I'm outta here. Have a blessed night!

Love,Sara

I know what you mean!

My goal is to get school done first and foremost, after Bible time though ;- ) I have been aiming to get it started by 8:30 and finished by 2:00. We take an hour off an lunch time.

Thanks for the info. on Hillybillyhousewife. I have it posted on my links. It is a great site. My family really are meat eaters though. Espcially DH. Hope your feeling better!
