Going to take deep breaths this week. My shoulders are tense, and there's really no cause for it. Well, mothering can be a bit hectic and stressful (an understatement), and maybe that's it. Not sure. Life is good. Husband has lots of work to build (God is so faithful) and the bills are, once again, paid for now. Have grocery money and everyone is well.
Still, my husband says that if there's not something obvious to fret over, I'll look until I find something. Meanie. ;)
Guess I tend to feel like very few jobs around the house get finished. Oh, I lie. We did get the painting done on the outside of the house that I wanted to do. Shutters I already mentioned, and the doors as well. So spiffy. Will take photos tomorrow in the sunshine. I truly love the way it all looks. Hope to get the boys in gear to finish the re-caulking on the front of the house this week. It's too time-consuming for me to do all of it, and they need to learn. Lots of our neighbors have gotten new windows, but I'm so partial to the old, wooden sashes and mullions. A mess to re-paint, but charming anyway. Old windows might not raise easily, but they gain in visual appeal.
Must go settle in now. Every night I get into bed exhausted and so thankful when the days pass without any major happenings. I never take that for granted. The Lord continues to amaze me in how He protects our family. We are so blessed.
