We survived our very, very full week last week. And “survived” is definitely the word to use for how I felt… because some days I felt like I was just hanging on by a thread and being pulled in four different directions at once by people who really needed me right then and now.
I’m grateful that these types of weeks are much more of a rarity in our home these days than they used to be — and I’m also grateful that while this week is another full week, it should be much more manageable than last week.
Because last week was so packed, we got behind on laundry. So today’s cleaning project is to get completely caught up on laundry. I’m very hopeful that this actually happens because I’m kind of tired of digging through a big clean laundry pile to find something to wear. 😉
Here’s my plan for this morning:
- Bible reading/journaling — start laundry
- Blogging/Business work
- School with Silas — switch laundry/start another load
- Breakfast/Morning Time
- Chores/quick house clean up — switch laundry
- Get girls started on their independent work
- Exercise/shower
- Fold & put away all the laundry
- Ready to go — lunch made — head to work at our office space
This evening, I’ll share a post about how my morning well and give you an update (with pictures) on how my laundry project went.

Not a morning plan, but I’ve been meaning to put some boxes in the garage. I will schedule to do it by the end of today. Thanks!

For your bible time I know you are doing she reads truth and I read the emails every day. I did have a goal of reading the whole bible this year …but its not happening after we had our unexpected move back to ny from tn. Anyway. I noticed today that it was mentioned as we start reading lamentations. I assume there is a bible reading plan associated with the daily devotionals but after going on the site I cant find it. Can you help me?

You can find the Scripture reading for each day at the top of the daily devotional: http://shereadstruth.com/

Oh boy! Perfect challenge for me today! We had a really rough week last week with 5 out of 6 in our family sick with stomach flu (still praying our 6 month old doesn’t get it!) and dealing with lice! So much laundry to get caught up on!!
Today is a good start though. Did a circuit class at my gym this morning, and now listening to Kidz Bop on Pandora having a dance party with the kids during lunchtime 🙂
Going to start folding more laundry now…I got this! 🙂

The stomach flu and lice?!?! Yuck!
Here’s to hoping for a much better week for you all this week!

We’re building a new house, so I’m super excited for my new laundry room! I plan on decorating it and making it as pretty as possible so it will be a room I want to be in (and do laundry!) 🙂 I’ve never been good at keeping up with laundry, so I’m really hoping this helps.

We are a family of 10. I do laundry everyday except Sundays. So, my Monday laundry piles are always large!

Oh yes, I’m in! It is a good occasion for me, I will keep you updated! My big clean laundry pile is waiting for me!!!

Laundry it is! But I’m lighting a candle through it all, not waiting for the end.
I totally hear you about sifting through a huge pile of clean laundry to find an item. Lol Such a source of stress.
Im glad last week is behind you. Prayed that this week is better for you.
