Instead of needing "you know your a redneck joke", I need a "you know your house is a mess when"....
your daughter walks into the kitchen and asks "is that vomit or a leaf".
She didn't yell it, but nonchalantly asked what was before her eyes before stepping into the kitchen. Thankfully things are not so destitute to think it was of human nature but earlier in the evening one of our cats had a little case of the "yuckies".
I had to laugh. It was a leaf, but we all got a good chuckle of how in some homes no one would even think to take an icky kitty deposit as something that could be as ordinary as a tiny shriveled maple leaf.
Late last night, after returning home from another evening away and hurried schedule,
I scanned this mess of a place. When school started three weeks ago, I had a schedule change which meant early rising at 5:00.
I am not a morning person by nature!!!!
Then with volleyball games, dance, errands and much needed downtime...the only chore I have been able to keep up on is laundry.
We have clean clothes...but my home has suffered a visible physical pain.
Now I am even a tad too whipped to find a suitable bible verse...but the good news is that even when you can't come up with a suitable quote you can stand firm on the lessons learned.
Eventually life will slow down.
Eventually I will have more energy.
Eventually I'll have a moment to sit back and relish a clean home.
Next week's schedule is much, much less demanding.
Amazing how some weeks just hit you hard!
I did get me a potted mum, and some candy corn to boot!
PS: If you came here by accident...check out Proverbs 31 blogs! They really do help salvage bad days. Thanks to all!
and...my little girl cried last night...she loves her sports..loves it, loves it, loves it...we don't push her into traveling teams or bunches of camps but last night I checked her grades on the computer here at home and asked "what's up with this 65%?" I was heading to bed around 11:30..."Mom"...she felt bad about ONE stinkin' science grade over all the other A's...why did I even mention it??? I actually didn't give it much thought after that. She did. I could of strangled myself...my "bad Mom" moment of the week!
WOOHOOO!!!!! My daughter just walked in after practice...guess what...her teacher typed her score in wrong...she was in the 90% range instead!!!!
Not gonna even attempt to comment on this one either!!! Grades are not that important to lose sleep on I always tell her, but thanking God she mentioned it to her teacher today!
