The lovely Nan over at Moms the Word has described my house over the last few days! Since returning from Camp, I just can't get back into the swing of things. I have wet laundry needing dried since Saturday(I am ashamed to admit this!), at the moment another load of dishes for the dish washer are sitting on the worktop and the dishwasher needs emptied, I have more laundry needing washed as well! I am not obsessive about housework but I seem to have gone to the opposite end of the scale lately and have ended up living in a bit of a mess.
So Moms the Word has inspired me today or given me a wake up call! Only the other day I was thinking I don't need a chore list, I manage fine! Well today I am going to do one, just as soon as I have done the actual chores waiting to be done above!!
God placed me in my home to be a homemaker and at the minute it is a well lived in home but I am a bit cranky when it is messy. This doesn't make me a very joyful person to be around and I want my family to see me in this way. So I am taking my God given role seriously by doing this I hope and pray!

Welcome to SITS! It's great to have you in the SITStahood!
ReplyDeleteWell, if you get your house all finished and are bored and need something more to do - you just swing on by my little old place in Texas! My house is in need of much attention! =0)

I've noticed that my house was a lot cleaner and more organized BEFORE I started blogging! I plan to tackle things this week (hopefully)
ReplyDeleteStopping by to welcome you to SITS!
I've been on a "staycation" for the last week, and my house has never been cleaner! I told my husband if I didn't work, we'd hae a clean house all the time!
ReplyDeleteI came by to welcome you to SITS! We're happy to have you with us!
Good for you! I hope you get everything done on your list. But if you do get everything done, could you please come back and tell us how. I really need to know ;) Seriously, I really hope that you do!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to meet you too through MYHSM! I love Nan! She's a great blog friend!
Isn't it nice to know we're not alone in our mess, lol!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you will post it once you're finished. I love seeing other people's schedules. As you know, I posted a link to my weekly schedule on my post, and within the weekly schedule is a link to my daily schedule.
Thank you for joining up today!
Collette, it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job modeling after the Proverbs 31 woman. :o)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the SITS community!
Thanks for that post. I've always been a list maker and I still don't know if that's a good thing or not! At the end of the day though, we need to remember that if the kiddos are fed and clothed and happy, nothing else really matters. Over from SITS to welcome you to the gang. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on a plan too. Thanks for visiting my blog. Maybe we can all figure this thing out together.
ReplyDeleteCollette...I could have written this post myself!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not alone, my friend!!
Good luck. Let us know if the list helped keep you on track. I am the SAME way about having my house in disarray. I love my house being clean. I don't feel like I can rest otherwise. Good thing we have a small house!
