Homemaking -- what me?????

The last two days have been very productive around this household. I am getting back to the old me. Well actually, getting to a new me. You see I have been a wife for 9+ years and a mom for 7+ years, but I have never consistantly been good at the homemaker thing. And I am not really talking about being the picture perfect, June Cleaver, housewife. I still have a LONG way to go to get that far. . . . . if I really want to get there. I have been consistantly been putting out fires and getting stressed over it, and not being a good example to my family, espeically my older two children. I just want to get into a good routine and keep a steady hum going at home.

But now it has been really, really good. Yesterday, I did four loads of laundry - they still have to be folded but they're done. I cooked and cleaned up after 3 meals - yes I cooked breakfast, the kids had eggs. I needed to use some up. I baked 2 loaves of bread. I also started my Beth Moore, Living Beyond Yourself study.

This morning I took the kids with me to drop Steve off for training, we came home and the kids have helped me clean up the living room and hall way. I have another load of laundry started. It bright and warmer today so the kids are now outside with some of the neighborhood kids that are off on spring break. I will use the time to get another day of homework done on LBY, as soon as I am off here.

One more note. I am doing a study on pride, an off shoot of last night's incident. There will probably be some postings on it in the future. Be looking for them.
