Hope everyone had a great weekend.  We had an extremely busy one.  Friday, after running errands, My husband came home early and took Caitlin to a friends to spend the night.  That gave me time to actually get ready for the banquet.  Our oldest two are part of a homeschool p.e. group and every year they have a banquet for the kids at the end of the year.  The Moms all attend and help out with the food and Jeff was asked to take pictures.  The party started at 4:30 and went until 11:00.  Long party!!!  Anyway, my wonderful sister took the younger three to Audrey's soccer game and then kept them until we could pick them up.  Then Saturday we had two soccer games and had to pick up Caitlin from her friends in between games.  Sunday we went to church and the kids stayed after evening service to play 4-square. All I accomplished around  here were a few loads of laundry.  And today will be spent doing laundry. I tend to get down about how little I accomplish at home sometimes,  and how behind I get.  But then I remember what I Cor. 10:31 says that "...whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God".  I have to remind myself that even running kids to games, spending seven hours at a banquet,(even though there are a million things that needed to be done at home), making sure everyone has eaten ( even if its takeout), making sure everyone has the uniforms they need,( even if there are 15 piles of laundry at home).......these are important and I still need to and can do them to  glorify God. I mean no one will remember what the house looked like but they will remember whether I was around for them when they needed me.  And they will remember my attitude about it all too.  Something to think about. Please don't think I have this down pat.  I don't.  It is something I struggle with and have to constantly readjust my thinking and my attitude.
Speaking of taking care of people, I have a little girl who would like some breakfast.  So I must go.  By the way , that picture is of Susannah at the banquet.  They had a great time. Isn't she pretty? I am only slightly biased.  Hope everyone has a great day.

There's nothing like having a million things to do while your laundry continues to pile up...I feel for you, Angie- I know you must have a ton of it.
And no, you're not just biased- Susannah is a beautiful girl.
