horrible blogger

I have been a horrible blogger!  I have allowed life to get in the way of thing I really wanted to do.

Back in August I became a Certified Travel Agent! I LOVE it! However, it seems to have taken over my life. I seem to eat sleep and dream travel.

Even homeschool has taken a back seat to building my travel business. I am working very part time at at a local radio station which I do love and I want to be doing that a little more  but home school is so much more important that I need to find balance between travel business and homeshcool .

So Starting today we are getting back to time management and doing school work and house work during the day and working on travel in the evening. It has to be this way or I will have no balance.

My husband is feeling like he needs to be working toward being a pastor and that means I as his helpmeet need to be working toward being a pastors wife. I need to focus on being a better home maker and I need to work toward loving people unconditionally. I know God will give me what I need to serve Him and give Him the glory.

I am so very proud of him and I want to show him how much I love and support him!

So today my prayer is that God will give us grace and mercy and show us the path we need to take to be in His will.

Thank you for taking the time to read. I would love your feedback!

Temporary Home

Today we moved into our transition home. This means that we have moved out of the townhouse that was being neglected by the property managers and into an extended stay hotel for a month or two. This place is actually pretty nice. They have an option that allows people to move their own belongings into the large suites and pay a monthly rate and they get to have a housekeeper come in once a week or twice a month...I can't remember! LOL

My mom and step dad are actually just a few doors down from us and my sister and nephew are one floor up in the next building. So it's almost like we all live together but we have our own space and don't have to be in each other's hair. NikiRhe can visit her grandma almost anytime she wants and we are going to be able to use this time as a huge learning experience.

I have been lax in putting us on a schedule since she was born. I wanted us to just be on our body's natural time clocks and that doesn't always work! hee hee... So now we have plans to start getting up at 8am...getting dressed, walking the dogs, having breakfast, making our beds, doing the breakfast dishes, having a spanish lesson, NikiRhe taking a nap and mommy doing school work, lunch, Imaginative play time, then start supper and tidy up before daddy gets home. Family dinner, do the dishes, then settle in with daddy for some family time.

That's the gist of it anyway. I am praying that God will help me achieve this as we have a small space and this will almost force me to be more organized! I see this as a blessing!

Well it's 3:30 in the morning and I'm finally sleepy! So I'm going to go snuggle up to the hubby and get some sleep so we can get up in a little while to go finish moving our things!

Be Blessed!

Adjusting ....

I'm learning to adjust to having someone in my house asking me questions. I mean I know she's new and she's here to help but sometimes I want you to take a little initiative to do things you see need to be done. Now I must give her props for picking up the living room and loading the dishwasher but something tells me the dishes aren't going to get clean because she loaded it improperly. Oh well I guess I'll adjust. I just need to make some lists and hope that she is a fast learner. She needs prayer for sure because she is not a Christian and I know I am taking a risk with having her here. But something told me she needs a Godly woman to influence her. So I'm going to pray for her every day and ask the Holy Spirit to guide me in dealing with her.

I wonder if I'm going to regret not hiring a professional but time will tell!

Working from home has it's advantages and disadvantages. I have a lot of clutter and it needs to be dealt with. However I am here with my daughter and that is my JOY. I have a lot of personal growth to work on. That means That I'm going to have to start by eliminating negativity in my life. NO MORE NEGATIVE NANCY'S OR NED'S ALLOWED IN MY HOME OR LIFE!

I've got to start getting ORGANIZED! I'm going to use the two weeks while my hubby is in FL to get the house organized! He is going to take our laptop with him even if he doesn't have a webcam and at least be able to see his girls.
When he comes home The house will be Organized and looking like it's ready for a business to grow as well as a family too. I'm going to have the new nanny/housekeeper help with this undertaking and get this house in tip top shape. ... Well it's off to make some lists so this house can get healthy!
