order

when my children were young we lived a very orderly life. everything ran on schedule during the day and our week even had a routine. now...we are older here!! i thought as they got older we would need less structure. i've been proven wrong, so if there are any readers out there i'd love any tips on bringing order and routine into our day/week. i want something with flexibility, creates responsibility, and provides sanity!!

this madness has got to end!!!! structure is a must have in this house! i never knew how much my kiddos needed it!

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
