• What Day Is This????

  It’s not Tuesday, right?  That means I have to turn my energy and motivation up a notch!!!

  Things went very well at church with Luci, yesterday.  I also asked the pastor to pray for me to have wisdom when discerning spiritual warfare being needed or a child who is just plain being disagreeable & sassy. 

  My house is still in fairly decent order.

  My list for today:
  *Take Stephanie to work by 11am
  * Keep JanaLyn all day
  * Wash guest bathroom towels and find some extras for our company (7 people)
  *  Pine-Sol bathrooms and kitchen floors
  * Go over furniture with a Swiffer duster & the weird places like ceiling fans & blinds . . .
  *  Pick up Stephanie at 5:30

  Not too bad, huh?

  Oh! Jesse and I put the new book shelves together last night.  Disappointed to see a split in one of the sides, but ABSOLUTELY determined to put the shelves up, anyway – they were only $35.00.

  Here is the pictorial version of how things look around here today:

  Rissy’s old bookcase on top of the chest in her closet.  This will create SO MUCH MORE storage for extra comforters, blankets, and pillows.
  

  Her new cherry wood shelves with her snow globe collection on top.
  

  My dresser is still uncluttered and I took a close up of my great great grandma’s picture and my triple great grandmother’s hair twisted into a floral arrangement.  I think the picture was taken around 1880 and the hair was done around 1835.  Thought someone might find it interesting.
  

  MY desk is looking pretty good.  I have some projects going this morning.
  
  I’m looking at that white background print on my wall and wondering how the camera transformed it into something  (a shape) it doesn’t look like in “real life” at all.  It is 1/3 white at the bottom, and 2/3 above is a “square-ish” shape of purple and other swirls of color – NOT a base like a tree like this picture shows!  That’s STRANGE!!!  The gold-ish picture over my printer belonged to my Grandma and I think HER mother.  It’s in a lot of our old family’s old photos – seen here and there over the years.  I’m glad I have it.

  Once I’m done with my To Do list
  

  And preparing a few cards for mailing
  
  the clutter on my desk should be gone again!  Yay!

  Then, there is the KITCHEN BAR.  I haven’t even been in the kitchen this morning except to get a cup of coffee!!!
  
  
  (See how tiny the kitchen’s work space is?)

  But, after bellowing, “Fe Fi Fo Fum, who messed up the BARRRRRR again?”

  This is how it looked after three, “I’m sorry Mom”s!!!!
  

  I need to leave in 30 minutes to pick up Stephanie, so I’d better go bathe and get dressed.  I don’t know what the girls will do all day, as it is hot, muggy, and the mosquitoes are VERY hungry.  I decided to try some of that new “Off” smooth and dry spray.  I’ve always used the stronger Off but I’ll see if this works as well.  Still, I’m scared to send them out back because Rissy and JanLyn are very allergic to mosquitoes.

  Maybe I’ll get some cute pictures of the girls later today.
