Getting back on track

12:18 PM, 2008-Jul-29 .. Posted in Family Life .. 2 comments .. Link
And so here I am attempting to get my day back on track.
Laundry is done.
Mr. Steady’s softball uniform is clean, nicely folded and waiting for him on the dining table.
The dining table is clean.
The kids clothes for tomorrow are sitting on the piano bench along with their swim gear.
Backpacks are packed and sitting in a neat row next to the door.
Library videos are in my bag ready to be dropped off.
Two of the four of us have eaten lunch.
Essential info for the camping trip is in a labeled folder on my clean desk (which would probably have not been cleaned off if it hadn’t been for the coffee disaster).
Two loaves of bread are ready to take to friends.
I am going to make honey butter to go with the bread.
The fruit salad is ready for tonight.
Extra clothes are packed for this evening.
We are suppose to be leaving for our friends’ home soon (a visit and supper together before the ball game).
And yet-
The only things not on track or ready are my mind and my heart.
I feel unsettled and on edge.
I need to do what I should have done in the first place- the only way to get my day back on track, really on track, is to get on my knees.

Sounds like you have been busy!!! I agree with you, the only way I can get on track it to start the day on my knees. And then get off the computer!! LOL

God's Blessings,
Amy Jo

The Wagner Clan

My Husband (DH)-
Mr. Steady

My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.

DD11- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.

DD8- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added spice of flavor to our family.

DS4- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He likes to think he's in charge and often is! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
