Labor Day....I am truly laboring with love

Vacation day? What's that?! Tomorrow is back to the grind stone with our school schedule and that means today is my Sunday.

Sunday's around this house starting at 3 are cleaning and get ready time! Several things have to be done by 7 pm

1) Laundry....all of it washed, dried & put away
2) Menu for the week
3) Grocery shopping for said week
4) backpacks in order & lunches made
5) livestock fed and worked
6) House cleaned top to bottom

At 7pm the cell phones, iPad, nooks & tablets go off. We sit down to eat & watch tv as a family. 8pm we start the bed time bath routine and everyone is in bed by 9.

To make this house run like a well oiled machine we have to do the oiling before hand.

This family is a family of believers so we spend the morning with God and the rest of the day is spent with just family. We raise and show livestock so our weeks are filled with meetings, vet appts and many long hours preparing. This is done as a family as well. Then we have the normal stuff, doc appts, dentist, teacher meetings etc.

Now that I took a break from vacuuming ( because my back hurt! A goat hurt it....long story) to blog ( which I vow to work better on) I must get back!

Will post a recipe tonight! So check back!!
