Sometimes, there are more than 24 hours in a day...... or so it seems. Very few times, but sometimes. Today was one of those days. I have an infant, I'm tired, I slept in until 8:00. I needed to do oh so much today, but sleeping was far more important at the time.
We are going on vacation in 3 sleeps. (My children count down days in "sleeps") "Mom, how many sleeps til Christmas?" they ask. I tell them I can't count that far. But 3 I can do. 3 sleeps. They are excited. I can't wait either. We have to clean the house before I can leave. I CAN'T come home to a messy house. It ruins the vacation.
Zack and Rylie have become huge helps in the house cleaning department. They can dust, vaccum, steam mop, clean the toilet and sink, put away silverware, and straighten shoes. AND THEY DON'T COMPLAIN!!!! It may just be a stage, but I'll take it. I looked at the clock when we were finished cleaning and it was noon. Noon???? How did we finish before noon??!! We never finish before noon! Maybe I will accomplish everything today I think.
We have to go to my dad's and help him put an ad on the internet. We have to work at the car lot, and we have to run errands in town. I need to be home by 4:30 because we have to go clean our church, and then get "stuff" ready for a yard sale. Not a yard sale at my house though. Dan says I can't have yard sales. Too much work and not enough money. =) I must agree. We're taking our stuff to mom's sale. Maybe it will sell. Probably not. We'll probably haul it back home.
We make it to the shop by 1:45. If I stay 45 minutes, does that count as working??? We stayed 45 minutes, no customers, so we left. (Not that we gave them that much time to come.) I forgot the phone, and we had to drive back to get it. We used to survive without cell phones, but not anymore. Noone may call all day, but if I leave it alone for 5 minutes someone will for sure call.
We ran errands and made it home by 5:15. We accomplished everything but the church cleaning. It was a good full day. Thank You Lord for stretching our time. Please do it again tomorrow. I need to pack for our trip, put a tea party on for Rylie, clean the church, and take care of my family. It's this thing we call "life." Sometimes it's tiring, but I love it.
