Just Another Day

Summer came early to Oklahoma this year which means we have postponed school until the weather gets to hot for the children to want to play outside. Most days consist of picking up around the house but lately I have been trying to reorganize my house to hopefully be ready for when we do start school up again. Today my tasks consisted of vacuuming carpets, organized my freezer, cleaning our baby chick bed out, cleaning the kitchen, cleaning some mortared joints, putting together a bench and mowing the back yard. Luckily the unloading the dishwasher is in rotation between the three older children so I get a little break from that. However if you asked me what I did all day I would probably say nothing much.
At this point in our life I feel like the children and I have come to a pretty good understanding of each other although many times a tiff here and there happens, usually between Hope and one of the boys. If we could just get her to get enough sleep that seems to help things run a little smoother.
We have been so blessed this year. Lance has been consistently busy and has been able to employee 4 full time employees and 2 part timers for the summer.
I am so thankful for a mother-in-law who helps me out with the children whenever I need her and many times with very short notice. I am very blessed to have married a man with Godly values and with a great mother.
