Hello, All! Remember me? The keeper of this blog?!
I really hadn’t intended on being absent for so long. My computer died and I was using Len’s for a while. Every time I used Len’s computer…there wasn’t really time for blogging. So it took a back seat…
There is so much to write. There is so much I had wished I could blog about. Life has REALLY changed. I will spare you from every detail, and just tell of some of what God has done in our lives.
Our summer was fruitful in both the garden and our lives! It was amazing. We grew closer as a family. Len and I both to each other and to our children.
This past summer/fall I spent most any spare minute that I had in organizing our home. I don’t believe our home has ever actually been organized. I would have one room, maybe two rooms organized at a shot, but never the entire home. Organizing took several trips to the local consignment shop as well as to the thrift store and dumpster. I think perhaps the kids’ closets need organizing once again, but I can honestly say that I know what we have and where it is. LOL! This makes our lives SOOOOOOO much easier.
We also switched our house all around to include Len’s office to be downstairs, out of our bedroom, and into the dining room. We switched the living room and dining room and moved the TV upstairs. The kids still watch videos here and there upstairs, but no more being glued to the television. We LOVE it that way. They are so much more creative and their imaginations have simply flourished!!
Monday-Thursday I have started watching three boys, ages 5, 3, and 8 months. I watch them for 3 hours and make a bit of money to help out. I think God rewarded me for getting my house in order. Because of this I was able to buy a new laptop…nothing big and special just a simple netbook, which makes me even more organized when it comes to youth group and church stuff. My iPod is wonderful, but I get a little cross eyed reading everything on that sometimes.
So…this is our life. I will update more and here and there on the children and our doings.
God is good and I thank Him for this wonderful life He gives me!!!
Haha
I TOTALLY understand I have not been blogging either and not because I don’t want to My brother in law is building me a brand new site and it is just not up yet I has some minor work to be done BUT hopefully with in the month!
So don’t forget me either!
I WILL be BACK!
how I have missed you! I have been a horrible blogger this month…but maybe once I am set for Christmas and feel more in control of my time…(will that ever happen?) I can start to write more consistenly
anywho…glad you are back..I love reading about your life (and knowing more of the details b/c I talked to you already!)love ya
Organizing is a great idea. I do that myself. I love organization. My closet are all labeled, I have shoe boxes in clear boxes for quick location even Lexi;s. It is great to be organized. If you have tips I would love them. I try what I can think of that would work for us.
Dorothy! Sounds like you are very organized! I would love to continue the journey! We live in a small, cramped house, so its super hard!! Have you always been this way?
