Not sure what happened to my post from the other day.  Hmmm.  Will have to look into that.  Another year, many things happened over that year.  Some good, some not.  Learned I won't put anyone before my family EVER!  I've said if someone needs a place to live or wants to "save some money", God will have to hit me over the head before I'll let anyone come live in our house again!  And it's true, you never truly know someone till you have lived with them.

That being said, I'm taking back my house, my family, my routines.  I've decided to do things a little different.  As you  might (or might not) have read, I'm a stay at home homeschooling mom.  I've used that as an excuse for the condition of my house.  At times, it's great, other times not so great. Our home and family IS my main job, ministry, and heart.  How it looks and feels is my responsibility.  I've been  looking in the families of the past.  The glamorous housewives of the 50's, the real ones not the tv ones, are going to be my model I think.  They lived for their families.  I do too.  They had hobbies. I do too.  They wanted to make their husbands happy.  I do too.  So on with more research!  I'll keep posting what changes I'll be making and what I already do.

Now for more coffee!  And get my day going!

Just a few of my thoughts,

Blessings,
