December 15th, 2009 Notes from A Harried Homemaker
I love Christian homemaking sites. I really do. I love the soothing music (usually), the floral “wallpaper” and cheerful blogs.
I try to be a very optimistic and cheerful example of a Christian homemaker. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Honestly, most homemakers I know don’t live in immaculate houses and drink tea out of bone-china cups every day at 4 p.m.
At 4, I’m usually getting ready to go out to feed the animals before starting on supper. Yes, I still call it “supper” sometimes.
Right now, I have a mountain of laundry (makes me think longingly of the Bible verse that says that if we have faith, we can cause a mountain to be cast into the depths of the sea…I would settle for the depths of the washing machine.) Sarah wants to crochet, but I’ve told her she’ll have to wait for a little while. We still have to make up her bed, too.
Then I’ve got to feed animals.. and Sarah has to check her rabbits. Then we’re going to try to make a chicken and eggplant dish for supper. I’m still trying to learn this new low-carb cooking. I don’t know if I’ve lost any weight, but I certainly haven’t gained any and I AM eating healthier.
I also got in 30 minutes of exercise today….NO, not unloading feed, either! I mean the exercise bike and lifting the little free-weights.
