Whew, I feel blessed.

Sometimes all my duties collide, today was such a day.

 

 

Church service; Boy Scouts

Littles' School; PTA

Home; houselove, the Littles, and my mister. 

{I am blessed to have the energy and the ability to do things.}

I somehow forgot to do my Mister's laundry.
But, he was sweet and wore his suit pants.

{I am grateful I have him.}

My dishes sorta piled and laundry was on the table. I finally felt busier then I could manage. I took a couple of deep breathes, said a little prayer for strength ,and immediately felt grateful that I can do, all that I do, through Him; who strengthens me.{#becauseofHim I can serve others more fully}

I sometimes bite off more than I can chew.
It seems that the last month of school, they try and cram everything in at the last minute.
Then with summer coming soon, there is a lot of preparation for Boy Scout camp.
Last week I was asked to share a talent for our church's women organization, and that created some soul searching.
{I'm glad I can share}

I love volunteering but every once in awhile, the balancing act goes out of whack. When this happens somethings gotta give.....

This is what I sacrifice first on a busy day;
shower,
make up,
dress up,
doing my daily laundry ....
and dishes.

Those are the only things I can give up. If that isn't enough than I am in trouble. 

Today was beginning to look like trouble. 

Laundry on the table.
{I'm glad I have clothes.}

Dishes in the sink.
{I'm glad I have food to eat.} 

I stayed in my workout clothes all day!  No good!
{I'm glad I can workout and take care of my physical self.}

And now, I wasn't sure I could sit and create with my Littlest. 

I was trying to be present, but was clearly distracted.
I was even taking pictures of my messy house! Why!
I thought. I guess because sometimes people think that I've got it all together,
and that is not the case.

 

I pulled out the puzzles, hoping that would be a good second choice to crafting.
Little Em liked this, and even kissed the puzzle.
{I'm glad I can get down on my hands and knees}

But, I knew I still  needed some help today.

I know,  it  seems crazy why didn't I just put down the phone but I was trying to document a busy life.
 

So, I decided to call Big Little to come over. With her help and Little Em's nap, I was able to finish what I needed by 1:00. Then we, went for a drive, windows down as this is what Big Little loves to do and then we ate lunch on the trampoline.
{I am grateful for the sunshine.}

{I am thankful for my children. I am thankful for this world Heavenly Father created for me.}

Tomorrow is another day.  I will try harder to be a little better- and take a shower. 

{whew, I feel blessed.} 

from me to you with love, M
