A Happy Medium

I know I am not alone in this area. I struggle to find my happy medium. If we have a real good week and get all our school work done at a decent time the house looks like a twister went through. If we have a doctor’s appointment or things to do outside the house then school and house work suffer.

I know that I waste time all day. I have worked on getting those things out of my life that are just time wasters. TV is just a big waste of time for me. And it seems the devil and my flesh have a long list of things to put in the place of anything I get rid of.

I picked up the book I was reading the other day and realized it had been over a month since I opened it to actually read. I am reading and working through, Created to Be His Help Meet by Debi Pearl. I bought the workbook and am trying to not just read it but live the things I learn. I am learning a lot and as I look back on the last few months as life got hectic and weather got bad I let those new habits slide. I want them become second nature.

I have also noticed the trickle down effect at our house. As I got over whelmed and didn’t want to and get things done, so did the kids. I realized as I didn’t want to get up and get going neither did they. I need to be an example of the proper behavior, of GODLY behavior.

I am the mommy and the one home all day with all the future adults. I have a great responsibility to them to show them the way.
