Wednesday...

Today is the Wednesday before Vic gets off of work...which happens to be every other week. I have designated this day as a typical deep cleaning chore day as I like to have the house clean for his week off. The downside to this is I have a typical chore day in which I feel obligated to complete certain task...at a certain time. Growing up my mom had me do certain things on certain days...the same things on the same days. I HATED it and worked very hard after getting married to break those tedious habits...some 20 years later, here I am doing the same thing to myself and my kids! Augh...life so annoying!

On the upside, there is nothing better that a clean house. I love a squeaky clean floor, shiny faucets and dust/cat hair free furniture. One of the better perks is a clean bed...I love, love, love the tight slickery feeling of sheets after washing and remaking the bed!

I wasn't really sure what to make for lunch and really wanted to go out...but after some thought I decided to cook and I'm glad I did because lunch was so yummy, healthy and so much cheaper then eating out...can't say the service was bad either :~) Today's menu was...baked fish, baked (microwaved) potato's & salad. Eating at home is almost always better than out...it just requires a little creativity and lots of desire!

The last couple of days have been met with a struggle over an issue. On Monday as I was heading to pick Andrew up from church I thought I might pop in and speak with Pastor Jim or Reverend Jeff...but remembered they were out of town for a conference. I thought of another man with whom I hold in high regard but kept driving instead. That night I took the issue to prayer...I did ask for guidance and I know that that guidance and peace will come in time, his time. But, alas, I once again decided to do it my way. I wrote out a rather intense post regarding this issue...went to post the darn thing and the computer modem went offline, the post didn't save...and it was gone. So there was my answer...wait...and let God work...you can't ask for guidance and then run out and seek your own answer. I will continue to pray and wait...but I can't say it will be patiently!

It is just after 5:00...I feel my day is done. The t.v. has come on and a well deserved veg time is being enjoyed by the kiddos...I'm sipping a cup of java and getting ready to head out to the swing to spend some quite time with nature.
