Good morning world. The end of March and it is beautiful outside. I had a couple of down days and now am playing catch up around here. Last weeks storm pulled part of the roof off of the part of the barn we have been using as a classroom. Patrick and I ran down, moved books and bookcases, cleared off desks and such. The next couple of days we moved rooms around to get the classroom back into the house. However, no one is losing their bedroom. This is the first time the boys have had their own rooms. After being crammed into one room for many months to accommodate others, I felt they deserved their own rooms. So after some consideration, they are keeping their rooms and we are having school at the dining room table until we can get the classroom fixed. I am grateful not many of the books were ruined.
Do you ever have a day or days when you need to just do nothing? That is pretty much how it has been for me for a few days. Of course my house shows it. But yesterday was a good start in getting it back in order. The routines and schedules of the "olden days" kept their houses from being like mine got to the past couple of days. But did not they have their down days? Since the beginning of February I have not been able to find a notebook I kept everything in. It had recipes, schedules and so much more. So I made a new one. Starting next week, I will be using a schedule.
Monday: blessing the house, laundry, and baking
Tuesday: ironing and mending
Wednesday: laundry, menu planning, deep clean the bathroom and the kitchen
Thursday: bake bread,
Friday: laundry again, dust, vacuum
This is extra to the daily chores:
Make beds, swish and swipe the bathroom, sweep and mop floors, vacuum as needed, wash dishes after meals, pick up rooms, clear off dining room table (this is our catch all), and daily paperwork.
My weekly schedule above is just an example of what I am thinking about doing. I'll let you know how it goes.
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Just some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
