A day in my life... One of my favorite blogs Little Jenny Wren is hosting a day in my life meme where we can join along and let each other see what interesting lives we SAHW+M's really have. I was a little late on getting in on this and so my day will be in retrospect as well as futurespect  Just a normal day around my home. I usually wake with Shannon around 5:30 am. Most of the time it is difficult to rise, but always am I glad after I have. I get excited after the desire to stay in a cozy bed wears off! I make the bed as I get up and then I go and I start coffee and sit down for devotion time.  After some wonderful time gathering my strength from the Lord for the day, I usually sit down and blog... I check my email and my message boards and then I get serious... Time to get dressed. Shannon loves to see me in a dress or skirt and I feel pretty when I have one on. If you were to come and visit me during the day, you would most likely find me in a dress, with an apron. I find it very comfortable to work in and I feel very feminine as well... and in this day and age, we need to embrace the way God made us... as women!!! (Ok, no soapbox for today!) I start laundry if I need to... and with our family of 6 there is almost always a need to! Once it is daylight and if it is nice outside (which it has been lately) I run and get the laundry on the line.  My children are usually ravenous and will most likely eat me up if I don't try and have something ready for them almost immediately after their feet hit the floor, so it is now time for breakfast! My wheat biscuits look especially tasty and fluffy today.  After breakfast is over the children have their morning chores and routine to go through.... make beds, change clothes, brush teeth, comb hair, tidy room and then feed the animals. I usually have to stay quite close behind them to make sure these things happen in a timely fashion or we could be missing the whole morning!By this time it is around 9:00 am or there abouts. If things are running smoothly we go to the schoolroom.  We spend a good time in here, and I run back and forth doing other things we need done when the children are doing their seatwork.I try and get some bread ready for lunch while we are doing our school time.  We have lunch around noon each day and we usually watch a Moody Science Video during lunch time on the computer. Afterwards the kids always help me clean up.  After we clean up and then try and get outside. We work in the garden or around the yard, or we just play for a while.  Once we have had some fresh air and exercise we come back in and have quiet hour. During this time we read or I sew... whatever we do it is a time just to be still and quiet. If the smaller children are really tired they may nap. At 3:00 I start planning supper if I haven't already. If it is a crockpot meal, it is already cooking in the crock. If not, this is when I start getting all my prep work done. The children will help me tidy the house here, getting the clothes put away off the line or toys picked up and schoolwork put away for the day... or if they haven't finished some of their work, they will finish it at this time. Shannon comes home at 4:00 pm and we work outside with him in the garden or doing the other necessaries like folding clothes or whatever. We usually have supper around 5:30. After supper, we clean up and sometimes go back outside if it is warm enough. If not, we have a time of family gathering... we play games, we read books... whatever. We just enjoy each other.  After this we have Family Devotion time, we sing hymns, we read the Bible, we praise God for what He has done for us and then we pray together.Around 8:00 pm the children get ready for bed. They go to bed between 8 and 9. Shannon and I turn in not too long thereafter. Sometimes I will sit up and plan the next days school activities or grocery list or do some reading or sewing or cleaning. Our days are not glamorous but they are special and I wouldn't trade them for the most any other type of days out there! Have a great one my friends!!!
