KEEPING A PROVERBS 31 HEART CHALLENGE

Posted on Monday, May 12, 2008 at 06:48

Jeannie at Honey Milk Heirlooms has set the challenge for this week. Two areas are to be covered during the week. The two I want to work on are: Managing The Cleaning and For The Family.

In the matter of managing the cleaning the problem has been I have let the house and laundry slip over this past week. The weather has been so beautiful here that I have spent my time outdoors and ignored the increasing mayhem beginning to occur indoors. I don't regret the time spent outside as this prolonged good weather is very unusual for us and I don't want to waste it, but, I don't want the housework to slide as it then becomes an enormous task that I don't want to do. So, this week has to be spent wisely. I can still enjoy the weather but I must get up a little earlier and try to manage the tasks inside the house first.

I also need to make sure I spend enough time with the kids enjoying their fun and joining in their play. They so love it when I do this and I always notice an improvement in their attitude when I spend QUALITY time with them. I have to admit though...I sometimes find this hard.

So these are my challenges this week. What are you going to do?

Hey, thanks for joining in on the challenge!...

I too have some times let my quality of kiddo time slip, I am always reminding myself that even though I home school then and am home with them 99% of the time, I should still do things that are outside the routine for the household, like painting or going to the park, doing the things they enjoy with me being with them and doing it also. I cant wait to see how you do this week!!

Great goals! I too have spent a lot of time outside and let the house slip a little. So that is one of mine this week too. Good luck to you :o)

Hi Catherine! Glad to see you back! I've been pretty busy too, hard to get used to having T out of the house every day, but still harder to get housework done when I have uninterrupted computer time!

I just joined, too. I'll pray for you to do well with your challenge. Maybe we should pray for a rainy day so you can catch up inside:-)
Blessings,
Tan
