Is this a household word in anyone else's home besides mine?
I set out last night to finish putting the laundry away. Now, I'm not talking a couple of loads, oh no, rather about eight of them.
I got it done....mostly.
I decided I'd make a cake last night around 9:30. When I read the recipe and saw that the cake needed to cool completely before layering I decided I'd start another project while the cake was baking. The cake came out of the oven and I set it on the stove......and it's still there this morning.
Every single morning I tell myself the floors are all going to be swept and mopped after my husband leaves for work. Did you catch that, "Every single morning?" I've been saying that since last Tuesday.....
I ran across a little saying that I have posted on my refrigerator, mainly to remind me to clean it out and wash the containers immediately. Here it is:
PROCRASTINATE LATER
Many times I've about walked away from doing the dishes, when I've glanced at that tiny piece of paper giving me the "Mommy look." It sure has helped me stick to a task until it's completed, after I got started, of course.
But today is going to be different than any other day in my history. I'm going to clean my entire house including closets, drawers and under beds. The meals will be on time, the laundry put away, and the bills paid. Ooooooo, I'm feeling inspired......
But before I get started, I need to catch up with some of girlfriends and find out what's been going on since we last spoke, see what the latest news is on Yahoo!News, start a book I've been meaning to read, spend quality time with my children....Oh, the list goes on.....

Happy New Year! Again
WOW! Has it actually been that long since I posted? Well, I have a few excuses for anyone who is listening. After my last post, my husband started working the night shift all seven days. I felt like I was in another world trying to serve breakfast before 6 a.m., keeping a 4 year old and a two year really, really quiet until lunchtime, doing my "loud housework" in the afternoon, etc., etc.
My sister got married to a wonderful man in March and I tried to help as much as I could with the preparations.
I got pregnant in late Spring with twins, however, Jesus asked for them back 10 weeks later. Although I've done my share of grieving, I feel secure knowing that a part of me is already in Heaven.
We started foster care in July and had our hands full up until the first of November. I felt like I was running in a cylinder 24/7.
We were able to go to Honduras for Christmas and New Year's! This is something we have wanted to do since we got married. We got to see my husband's family and have a wonderful time of visiting, shopping, going to Church, and swimming.
Now, 2013 is already one month old and we are off to a great start. I went up to Kansas to attend my Grandma's 80th birthday party. We really had a nice time, especially Grandma. I think she has been looking forward to that for months.
My husband is back to working nights, but somehow, I'm keeping it together better this time. Lord willing, it'll only be until the end of March and I'll have him back on a normal schedule again.
We started our school year in Honduras. Isn't it neat how homeschoolers can take the entire school with them on vacation? Anyway, so I've organized all of our activities and bookwork for the year.
When I got back from Kansas, I planted different types of lettuce in pots on my porch. I'm hoping that we'll be able to have fresh salad at least five times a week.
I'm looking forward to getting my garden started again. Hopefully, I'll have a more successful story to tell this time. I'm planning on putting lime and soil conditioner in my clay to help balance the nutrients so my vegetables thrive.
God is so good! He has been with us another year and we've lived to see 2013. We praise Him for His mercy and care.
I'm starting another blog that mostly going to be about cooking and meal planning. Check it out!

Adios for now! And we'll have to see how loooooong it takes me to post again.
