What's Really Important/Summer Vacation Is Over!

It always happiens to me that I somehow end up chaning my mind about how I want to do something at the last minute. I think by now my kids are used to this and expect this, but my husband...My dear husband....God Bless him! He's ex-military and he just doesnt get it. "Change" isn't a word that he's added to his vocabulary yet...But I'm working on getting it in there!



It has become a tradition of mine that every year, around now, I obsess over our homeschool area and cirriculum. I have a section of our large living room dedicated as our classroom. This year however, at the last minute, I decided I wanted to flip my living room. I wanted basically the same room, only reversed. Little did I know that it would take as much work as it has! The walls where the tv/couch area were had to be washed, and I just had to think to myself...how was all this dirt hiding here? Then there was the issue with the cable tv outlet, which was now on the wrong side of the room.



Needless to say, my living room is now a mess! And because of the mess I've created, I am unabe to sleep; I won't be able to sleep until it's finished. I stayed up so late the last few nights that I crashed this morning and never got my family to church. Somehow, during all of this, I lost sight of what's really important.

I plan to start out new school year tomorrow and, with God's Grace, it's going to be a great beginning!

Lord, help me to never loose sight of whats really important again! Amen

I, too, had a restless Friday night, sleepless Saturday night, overslept Sunday and missed church. I was REALLY bummed! I mean, church was penned in on my calendar and I wanted to GO! The kids wanted to go, but having no concept of time, didn't think to tell daddy to go wake up their sleeping carcass of a mother so she could take them to church! I hope you get that living room in order quickly ... school's starting soon!
