Now that the holidays are behind me, I find myself wondering what it is about the time between Thanksgiving and the New Year that makes me throw all the meal plans cleaning schedules and and goals for the past year out the window.
We had a wonderful holiday. The new year is off to an emotional rocky start though with one of our friends facing the possibility of losing a parent, another losing her marriage, and yet another friends child developing a serious illness. God does hear our prayers though and we all know that he will work all things for good.
I am surrounded by Rubbermaid bins containing our Christmas decorations some organized and some not, but my sink is empty :).I stopped using the dishwasher, it(I) made me lazy and gave me an excuse to let things pile up. Our washing machine was broken for the week of thanksgiving. I was caught up with the wash when I came down with yet another real bad chest cold (on Christmas) and was out of commission for a good whole week. so I fell back behind. Yes it did take me most of the month to catch up. I had allot of bedding and comforters that I put off and my dryer is kinda crapping out so I could only dry 2 loads a day.
Menu:
Monday: Creole black beans over couscous
Tuesday: Hamburger soup
Wednesday: Baked chicken pieces with potato
Thursday: Homemade pizza
Friday: Spaghetti
Saturday: Kids choice
Sunday: hubby's choice
Reading back over this blog I realize it sounds like my world (and home) are falling apart and I am miserable. let me assure you I am very happy and full of hope and peace. I only think about this stuff when I am trying to use it or write about my daily ins and outs. well I am off to hit a hot spot.
God bless and have a great weak (month year).
