This morning, I did my devotions and read not only 3 or 4 chapters... but 12!! Yes I did! I'm jumping around this year and also reading the correct date from Proverbs every day of the year so what day of the month it is... I read Proverbs that number chapter. Means I'll read almost every chapter every month of the year!
So... Proverbs, Psalms, Revelation and James are the books I'm in right now.
Anyway, once that was done, Ember was throwing a fit and fighting with everyone so suddenly a light of inspiration went on in my brain that was so craving diet coke yesterday and very very foggy. I instituted a Mom's Helper where one of my three littles... meaning Ember & Autumn-Rose my 7.5 yr old twins and my 5.5 yr old son Zachary will each have a day to help mom all day... So... they will wipe dishes, carry laundry back and forth, set and clear tables, put cream on mommy's sore aching feet and brush her hair.... with over 3 feet of it, and tendonitis so bad, it's really hard to just brush out all the time. And the feet... well always ALWAYS in burning pain. sigh...
So anyway... Em's putting away dishes and I ask her to wipe out one small cup cupboard since it was nearly empty anyway and once that's done, she asks to do a big corner cupboard that I've been avoiding and so has everyone else! I said no... I was too busy then changed my mind and we did it anyway. Then because there were dishes we don't normally use, I packed up a box for when the older kids move out and taped and labeled it and stashed it in my closet which has lots of space behind the clothes. That freed up a lot of space! I'm not near done... but it's a start and my mood is much improved over yesterday although I cannot see with or without my glasses on right now.
Got 3 loads of laundry done, 3 loads of dishes done including breakfast and then the work in the kitchen. So far so good... my lower abdomen has these wierd pains in it that I don't know what they are, but they come and go it seems and my legs are burning and stiff from mid-calf down to toes. The vision is terrible and I just tested my blood sugar levels. I have at least been drinking iced tea and by that... I mean Good Host Iced Tea is which is the only kind I like. Sugar is 4.8 so headed down unless I eat very soon. Usually once it gets under 5 I'm doomed if I don't eat within 15 minutes or so. Then it drops rapidly.
Feeling quite pleased with myself and all I've accomplished today even if the packing isn't totally done yet. There's still this afternoon, tonight and tomorrow for all of that I guess and I AM washing hubby's shirts and other clothing we'll need so not totally avoiding the packing thing. Funny how I avoid what I used to love!
