It was such a blessed and quiet Lord’s Day yesterday. So refreshing and I feel like I’m ready for the week. Looking forward to seeing what the Lord’s plans are.
Hubby is home today! Woo-Hoo! He took today off as a comp. day since they made him work on President’s Day. And we are going to get a project done today that has been hanging over my head. We wrote out a Hanley newsletter talking about last year and we are writing thank you notes on them for people who went out of their way to bless us when tragedy struck our family. ( There are many!) We are almost done and today we are going to work on them together and get them in the mail.
So wish we could do sooo much more for people.I have alot of other things planned for today too. I’d like to go to Trader Joes and the library (I want to see if they have any Emilie Barnes books) besides getting the daily chores done and focused cleaning on the living room. I’ve been struggling lately in making a schedule to get house cleaning chores done. I have done the cards (a few times) and have tried other methods. I feel so overwhelmed in following cards or a notebook list of chores (which I know works really well for some.). So I just assigned one or two rooms a day to focus on cleaning. I know what has to be done to make the room clean so I’m just going to do as much as I can each day and know if I didn’t get to a job done in the room , I will try to get it done the next week. (Maybe make a note of what I didn’t do in my planner.) Looking at a whole list of chores just makes me crazy. I’m a perfectionist and if I don’t complete a list I feel awful guilty. So no list for me, just common sense. I’ll let you know how this works for I am just starting this, this week.
I’m trying a new recipe today that I got from a fellow blogger Copperswife for dinner, Stroganoff Meatballs. I think it will be yummy!
Well, I gotta go jump in the shower then wake the girls. Have a great day.

Pray for me, please…..I’m at that point I get at every winter where, as you know, business BOTTOMS OUT and I get depressed. I have no work booked till Saturday when Joel and I start up again with 10 more ERACs. Once the snow melts and calendar says MARCH I’ll be FINE…..
Additionally, we’re coming up to one year since my mom died (this Sunday), and, going over things with my sisters can be DEPRESSING. Thanks!
Glad your week is starting out well! Tell Brian I hope he remembered to send his letter to the Ledger! Is there going to be the usual March Manly Movie Night?

It is always good to get stuff that’s hanging over your head done, isn’t it?
I think I’ve gotten to the point in housekeeping where lists and stuff aren’t that helpful, either. I know what needs to be done. I just have to do it, but you do get a nice boost of endorphins from checking things off a list, so sometimes I write down something after I’ve done and then check it off!
Have a fun day, Jenn!
Hi, Jenn!! I just wanted to stop by to say hi. It looks like you guys are doing so well there. Everything is fine here. Johnny’s been healthy and Krissy’s excited to be finishing up school soon. We’ve only had one snow storm here all winter, so I’m thrilled!
Enjoy the rest of your day!
Love,
Suzanne
