Parenting

Some days are better than others.  Chores are going well (trying to fine tune them a little, making sure the kids are doing a good job and not just a “good enough” job.)  I am focusing on trying to stay calm and not raise my voice as much!  🙂  We are trying to get into a routine on the nights that Dad isn’t home.  This is going to get a little easier, because I love watching all the holiday movies this time of year, so I have a feeling, we will be watching more movies together this month!

Marriage

I need to do a better job of speaking my husband’s love language.  Especially since he’s gone two nights a week, I don’t see him as much.  I need to make this a higher priority!

House

I’m trying to get my house in better shape for when my mom comes into town.  I’ve done a pretty good job so far.  I’ve schedule a part of the house for every week.  Each week I focus 15-30 minutes a day on getting that area ready.  I still have the office, storage room, garage, and laundry room to go.  I know I won’t get it all done before she gets here, but it’s better than it was!
