Good morning!! This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!
We had a pretty good Father’s Day yesterday. The kids made Big Daddy a Daddy Crown which read “King of the Castle.” Later we went to my mother-in-law’s house for some cooking on the grill, some swimming in the pool and some brownies and ice cream. After, the kids put on a “Happy Father’s Day” show while dancing and singing to some of their cds.
It’s shaping up to be a pretty fine week. My house is finally starting to resemble itself again. Today we need to do a little bit of cleaning in the kitchen, clean up all the bedrooms and catch up on some laundry. A busy day to be sure, but completely doable. It’ll be good to get caught up.
This week we’re also getting back to a full school schedule for our summer semester. We’ll be wrapping up all the loose ends to prepare for the new school year in August.
Here’s my plan of attack for this week:
1.) Bible Study:
Morning devotions with my women’s devotional bible - reading straight through.
Memorize our church’s memory verse for this week:
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Matthew 23:12 (ESV)
2.) “MUST Do” List:
- Stick to my daily schedule (as God allows) for morning devotions, taking care of the home and home-schooling.
- Monday: Big House Cleaning, Grocery Shopping
- Take care of the bills due this week.
- Iron Big Daddy’s clothes for each day, as a labor of love.
3.) Taking Care of My Home:
Daily Chores and then focus on these areas for weekly chores.
- Monday - Kitchen; Wash towels, tablecloths, etc.
- Tuesday - Dining Room; The girls wash and put away their own laundry.
- Wednesday - Living Room; Wash Momma’s laundry. Little Prince helps wash and put away his laundry.
- Thursday - Master Bedroom; Wash all bed sheets, put them back on the beds.
- Friday - Kids’ Rooms; Wash Big Daddy’s laundry & Whites
- Saturday - Bathrooms; Clean Up Yard/Car
4.) Training My Children:
Tuesday through Thursday we’ll have a full load of school work. Princess: Bible Lesson, Math, Grammar, Spelling, Handwriting, Science, Health and Reading. Friday she’ll write a short story and illustrate it per Big Daddy’s request. Drama Queen: Bible Lesson, Reading, Math.
Together we’ll memorize the church’s memory verse for this week.
We rearranged the school area again, and I’m really lovin’ it. It’ll be fun to do school in there this week.
