Wonderful Wednesday

I have been so busy. Every time I try to set down and post, something comes up.

I had fallen way behind in laundry. I am good about getting it through the washer and dryer. I have the kids put their clothes away, or help put them away. This still leaves ironing, putting my hubby's and my clothes away, and hanging up our clothes and the girls' clothes. I could have the boy help in hanging up the girls' clothes, but I have a very specific way to hang them up so I can find what I am looking for. There are three girls worth of clothes in their closet.

I had set a goal to make sure my husband's clothes were clean, folded, ironed, and put away properly before I went to bed. I want to show my love to him. I want him to be able to find his clothes in the morning. He likes to have the house to himself in the morning. He gets up and does his thing while we all are sleeping. He prefers I stay in bed, so he has the house all to himself. So I need to make sure my help comes the night before.

I also started to work hard to not let unfolded clothes lie around in baskets. We had a bad flea outbreak. Our cats love to lie in baskets of clean clothes. This just caused us to have to rewash clothes to get the fleas under control.

I have always dreaded ironing. I had no place to iron where I could leave the ironing board out or easy to access. I have to fold and iron clothes in my living room. So if it sets around waiting on me it makes it hard to find a place to sit.

Today is Wednesday. I need to have all the clothes clean, ironed, and put away so we are ready to get ready for church. I try to make sure we are completely caught up on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday nights. This makes getting ready for church soooooo much easier.

My son asked his dad to buy him a new Bible with a case so he could carry his pen with him and mark the verse the pastor preaches out of... Of course, then Philip wanted one tooo. He came home with two very nice Bibles and two cases. The same type of case in different colors. They carried them around all night. We will be able to hand the nice smaller Bibles with the snap closures to Cecilia and Ruth. We have misplaced, again, one of the New Testaments that Cecilia and Ruth had. So the one we have now will go to Elsie. I caught sight of the receipt from the Bible store. I was about to say something about the amount, then caught myself. I had said we could buy them for Christmas. My husband said he would do it so they could have them for church tonight. I cannot complain about the money spent on Bibles. It wasn't a useless toy or video game. It was a tool for my children to use to draw themselves closer to God.

I am working on my eating. I read somewhere that you should focus on you health and not your weight. I think I need to think about feeling better and getting more done. Being able to get down and play with my kids.... No more excuses.
