Where have I been??

Well….it has been two months since my last blog post. What can I say?!?! We have been busy!! I have tried to keep up with CaringBridge but the blog has been put on the back burner….until now (I hope).

We have had several doctors appointments, baseball/T-ball started, last month of school (which was filled with lots of activities), and several other things that I can’t remember right now!

I do plan to do some individual posts about some of the activities we have been doing but until then I will share my goals for the summer.

1. Try to keep my house clean (or at least semi-clean)

2. Organize all of my filing (medical and home)

3. Clean out and organize closets.

4. Clean out and organize kitchen cabinets

5. Make sure Hayden is reading and working on math facts

6. Work with Hayley on her writing and some sight words

7. Work with Alex on his letters, number and colors

8. Work with Alex on “therapy related things”

9. Have some fun (as requested by the kids)

10. Update blog more

As I am sitting here listing all my “goals” for the summer I am reminded of how I have been thinking about simplifying our life a little bit. With the cleaning out and organizing I want to really think about if we need all this stuff or if we could bless someone else with some of it. I want to let God lead me in this process…..because if I try to do it on my own I will never get it done and it will overwhelm me in the process of trying. I know that HE cares about every detail of my life….even what is in my closets and the mess I call my office. Now let me say….I am not good at this. I think I used to be good at it…..but life happened and I must have forgotten how to organize and stay on top of things.

Hopefully, I can share some of this process with you. Maybe even before and after pictures of my closets (if I am not too embarrassed to share them)!! But more than that, I hope to be able to share how God has worked in my heart to change my way of thinking and living!

Until next time…..
