I’m late in getting this posted this morning because we have sick people at our house. Gratefully, I’m well. But Jesse has a fever (a very rare thing) and feels miserable, Kathrynne has a fever and cold, and Kaitlynn and Silas aren’t feeling great either.
So, I’ve been wearing my nurse hat and taking care of my people — and blogging is just fitting in wherever it fits in after real-life priorities are taken care of.
Today’s project is to clean out your vehicles. You can be as detailed as you’d like. I’ll probably keep it simple and just clear out all the trash/extra items that aren’t supposed to be taking up residence in my car. I’m also going to clean out my kids’ closet because it’s been hollering for attention the past few days. 🙂
Here’s my plan for this morning:
Bible reading/journalingBlogging/Business workSchool with SilasBreakfast/Morning TimeChores/quick house clean up — start laundryGet girls started on their independent work- Exercise/shower
- Clean out my car, vacuum one room, clean kids’ closet out
- Ready to go — lunch made — head to a meeting with my assistant at our office space and to do a little writing (my copy edits for my next book are due today — gratefully, they are just about done!) and then I’ll probably come back home to take care of my people, unless they start feeling better.
In spite of the sickness, it’s been a productive morning already, as you can see above. I spent a few hours picking up and cleaning yesterday afternoon and evening and it felt SO good to start the morning off with a very clean house!
This evening, I’ll share a post about how my day went and give you an update (with pictures) on how my cleaning projects turned out.

I’ll be a few days behind on this, but I have put that on my husband’s “Honey do list” for this week. We also need to get the car seat in before our daughter comes- time is running out!
I hope everyone is starting to feel better!

Were the kids not sick enough to do their chores/schoolwork?
Crystal Paine says
Kathrynne asked if she could do her school because she wanted to make sure she didn’t get behind. We took over her chores for the day because she’s too sick to be up and around. Silas and Kaitlynn are up and around, though, so they went ahead and did all their chores/schoolwork.

We are on the same wavelength today! I had “Clean car” on my to do list. Planning to tackle it during nap time. 🙂
