Just chatting while I have a minute

It's Saturday afternooon and I have spent the better part of the day CLEANING. A weird fact about myself is I cannot ... absolutely cannot function effectively or appear to be mentally sane when my house is dirty. So, having said that, I just explained why I am rarely effective and certainly at times certifiable ... ha!

In a nutshell .... my house has been neglected all summer. Well, really neglected since we moved in a year ago in some cases, so I have been on a mission. Eric and E are away at camp and O was away (until an hour ago) at a day camp at church. I got a ton of things done, but am reviving O's nap schedule in a few minutes so I can somewhat finish.

I could be fooling myself, but I have this assumption that all will be right with the world as the craziness begins with school/work next week if my house is in order. Let it be so, Lord!

While cleaning my kitchen, I stumbled across Eric's work schedule for the rest of the year (that I believe he conveniently left for me to read while he wasn't within arms reach). Good grief! I just keep reminding myself that God isn't giving me the grace on THIS DAY that I will need to get through December. I'm trying to put it out of my mind and walk in denial today.

Okay, I better get back at it. I was just sorting through school uniforms and showed O what she would be wearing this year. She was lying on her bed 'reading' a book, looked up at me and said, "I have no plans to wear any of those".

See. Denial.

Sometimes it works for us.

However, come Thursday, even O will learn that doesn't last long!

I cannot believe you have been in that house a year already! Its so funny because when y'all were in the process of moving, we were still in AZ.

Between your bloggy break in early summer, and my travels across the country, I haven't been commenting, but I am getting caught up and thought I'd say hello!
