All I can say is that I am so proud of my kids. I have been extremely busy the last few months or so and it was getting to a point that I was just overwhelmed with everything. The kids would more or less do things I asked them to do when I asked them to do them. However, we didn’t have a set schedule. I finally decided to help make things a little easier on all of us, so I made a chore list. I went to http://www.dltk-cards.com/chart/ to make a chore schedule. I had already talked to Buddy and we decided we would let the kids decide what chores they would do on what days. I do have great kids, but I honestly thought we would have to go back and fill in slots and even things out between the kids. Once we told the kids to take the list and fill in the days with their initials with what they wanted to do, they took the sheet and went right to work. To my surprise, they filled in almost ALL the days!! I could not believe it! I was really surprised, but yet extremely proud with how they chose their chores. Not only did they fill in most of the spaces, they got right to work on the chores they had decided they would do for that day! What a success! I truly have some of the greatest kids around! They have continued to this day to look at the chore list and help out. I am so proud of my kids!

Things were looking up for us. Buddy was steadily improving with the concussion side affects, the kids were all doing better with their sinus’. Low and behold, I wake up with a very sore throat, sore neck and headache. My sinus’ were killing me! UGH! Just in time for the weekend! I had so many plans with getting caught up on clothes and other necessary housework. However, I guess my body had other plans. So today, I have done nothing but lay in bed, sip hot tea, read and then nap on occasion. While I did not mind the reading and napping, I sure could have used my time working on the house! I guess God figured I needed a little break and this was His way of telling me to slow down! Housework will always be there tomorrow. I am going to enjoy my weekend and start cleaning on Monday!

A friend told me about this great site that you can get free books by doing book reviews for them. They will send a book to me (book choice is mine), I will then read the book and post a review. Sounds pretty cool to me since I love reading so much! I hope you will enjoy the reviews as much as I will enjoy reading the book!
