Blessings From Home

Tuesday at Home

My children are all safely tucked away in their beds and I am soon to head there as well. I gained a bit of energy as I went through the day and managed to get a bit more done than I initially thought I would.

My son and I had a wonderful time making homemade oatmeal cookies today. It was our math for today as he learned about measurements and he had so much fun. I totally forgot the camera, but the memory is etched into my mind for me to keep for always.

When hubby got home, I ran and paid a bill and made a run to the local goodwill. My middle daughter is growing so fast and was in need of some casual dress shoes. I couldn't find any at Goodwill, but I did manage to find a couple of good books for 99 cents each and a pair of overalls for my son. So instead I ran on over to payless and managed to find a pair of mary jane style shoes for less than 10 dollars, so I got those. I wish I would have been thinking ahead months ago. I'm sure I could have gotten them so much cheaper....oh well, a lesson learned.

Tuesday night is cubscout night. So we went to that and Nicholas had a really good time. It's a little chaotic there. When we got there, some of the boys were running around wildly and I told my son as he sat right there next to me, that he could go play if he wanted to but to be a good boy...and he looked at me and said, mom, I think I'll stay here, I might get in trouble. I just grinned at him. He's such a good boy.

I have another day of big plans brewing in my head for tomorrow. I look around my home and know that I can do so much better for my family. Our house stays pretty clean, it's just that I know I could do better. I keep coming back to the same thought....Simplify....I guess I've been simplifying in baby steps. I go through and declutter, and then I go through and declutter again, and again....I guess eventually I'll get to where we need to be.

To me simplifying is more than just getting rid of the physical clutter, it's letting go of the mental clutter that bogs you down. I've learned to be a little more selfish with my time and family. I want to be able to focus on the stuff that really matters...the Lord, my husband, and my children. I've learned to say no to friends and family, and that has helped so much.

Well, my bed is calling my name once again. I'm praying for a more productive day tomorrow. Still no sign of my monthly...I will likely take a pregnancy test this weekend. The wait is killing me, but I have to rely on whatever the outcome of this week is...it is in the Lord's hands. I pray your day was amazingly blessed!

Love,

Sara
