There are not enough hours in the day.....
Do you ever have one of those days where there are not enough hours in the day? If you are a mom, I'm quite sure that you have experienced many of these kind of days. Not only is Abby home this week, but our nephew Jon is here with us visiting from Waco.
I went to work this morning and then I came home and ate a quick bite. After that I recruited Jon and Kelsey to help me work on the garage. Kelsey & I have been working on it for a while off and on for several months. We finally gave a bunch of stuff to Goodwill and have slowly been going through old papers, etc. and getting rid of a bunch of junk!!! We have lived in this house for over a year, so it's about time. There is no telling how many times we have moved some of the junk. When we went on vacation to Aruba, there was a hail storm and bad weather. Of course, our car was in the driveway instead of the garage as there was no room for it. We ended up with over $5,000 worth of damage. So, we decided it was time to get it cleaned out. All 3 of us worked for 3 1/2 hours getting it cleaned up. We did leave some stuff for Danny, however, what was left was beyond what we could do.
Since it was 100 degree weather, we were all ready to hit the pool. I took all 4 of the kids up to the pool for a little over an hour. We then came home and Danny had made it home from work and was working on the garage. We helped him finish and we were all so proud!!!! It looks great and it was a REAL accomplishment. And yes, the car is in the garage. We started watering the yard and thanks to Jon and Kelsey moving the hoses, we got that all done also.
I think that the little girls ended up eating dinner around 9:15 (bad mother!) and were in bed at 10:00 (yikes!). I ended up eating dinner at 10:15 and worked on laundry until 11:00. And yes, I managed to watch the basketball game for a short time while folding laundry. Boston won, what more do I need to say?!!! (I'll have to tease my brother, I think he was going for the Lakers!)
I jumped in the bathtub and now here I am at 11:30 working on my blog. I am tired and should have been in bed at least 30 minutes ago. I still have laundry going both in the washer and dryer. I am tired, but feel accomplished. And I get to start all over in the morning.
On days like today, there is not much time for a big long Bible study. However, the Bible does say to pray without ceasing. I pray all throughout the day. I'm sure there a lot of others like me, I pray while at work, I pray in the car, while doing laundry, cooking dinner, etc., etc. I thank God that He is never too busy for us and it doesn't matter when and where we call out His name, He hears us!!!!!
It looks like tomorrow is going to be another fast paced day, so I better get some rest. I love you all and can't wait to hear your thoughts!!! Your comments are such a blessing and I love the feedback!! Have a blessed day!!!!

It must be garage cleaning season. We worked on our garage last Saturday & now we get to have a garage sale. what fun! But we get to use our profits to go on a 2 day trip to Schlitterbahn!! woo-hoo!
And I SO know about not enough hours in the day!! I work at the clinic from 8-noon, then I sit in Anatomy class from 1-5pm. Then come home & study, then eat supper, then study some more, then crash in the bed, then get up the next day & start over.
