Got it together - for now, anyway!

Okay.  So I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of this being home thing.  I have actually managed to have dinner ready (and sometimes even on the table) when my husband gets home from work.  I manage to do some sort of workout almost every day.  Brenna and I have a set devotion time each afternoon.  Seth is starting to nap only once per day and go to bed at a decent hour.  Things are looking up!

Now, life isn't perfect (someone still wakes early in the morning and wants to go to bed with Mommy!), but things are finally starting to settle.  Of course, things will change once school is out.  Then I'll have to rework the whole schedule - isn't that always the way?  Just when I think I have things under control something will inevitably happen to "shake things up".  I guess the Lord just doesn't want me getting complacent and thinking I can handle things all by myself (because THAT would be a disaster!).

I did have a phone interview for a job, which was encouraging.  There just isn't much out there right now, and there are still a lot of qualified people looking for work.  So, I'll be content to take care of home and family until the right job comes along.

We have expanded the garden this year, so we can have a vegetable stand to sell veggies.  So be looking for us, and come get some fresh veggies for dinner!  Darien is a great gardener!

Kelley is back from her trip to see the kids and grandkids, so The Scarlet Chord will be rehearsing again.  I'm looking forward to really buckling down and getting some new songs worked out.  I know the Lord has a plan for this and the Pottery Wheel ministry, and am looking for things to get busy on this front, too.  I want to use my talents for His glory, and am excited to be working toward that goal again!

I'm going to bask in these last few days of feeling like I have it all "together", and prepare for the whirlwind that will become the norm over the next few weeks.  I'm just thankful that all the activity means I am a useful human being, especially when being used by the Lord.

By the way, since I've asked for accountability with my Weight Watcher's program...... I lost 6.5 lbs the first week!  YAY!!  Thanks for your support!
