From Chaos to Order

We interrupt your blog time to let you know that I've fallen off the Order wagon and need desperately to get back on! I feel like my life is in complete Chaos, but if you were to look through a window at it you would just see us as being a bit busy. I mean, I haven't even posted pics of our new girl, Big Betty and she's already on her way to the doctor's.

In case you have no clue who Big Betty is, she's a new to us 1997 Suburban. (Ooooo do i like her!) We tend to name our automobiles around here. Don't ask me why, but we do it with our children also. They leave the hospital with their birth name, but by the time they arrive home they have their nickname. Then blog names there after. I'll try and post some pics of Big Betty when she gets back. Praying it's a inexpensive celluloid problem (not cellulite).

We're also doing our end of the year school testing this week. I like to do it early. It shows me where we've fallen off track and where we are excelling. Then we can adjust and add in new items of interest. I pretty much know what needs tweaking, but this is required by our state and confirms what I pretty much already know.

On top of that Urban Girl has taken her Traffic class, has gotten her Permit and is will be learning to drive. Whew! A lot in one week.

AND if that weren't enough we were also featured on our local Fox News station about our chickens. I was hoping to provide links, but they don't have any up yet. So now we're local TV stars! Always knew we'd make it to the big time! Hehehehe.

So Chaos is reigning. I need to spend time (like days or weeks) all alone focusing on what the Lord what's me to do next. I mean. I've forgotten how to listen. If you're feeling the same way, I urge you to stay up the extra hour, get up earlier, sit down at nap time or send the kiddos out to play for hour. Rest and listen. Just be still and listen even it's only for 10 minutes. I wish I had a day, weekend or maybe even a week.... But I'll take 10, 20 and would be thrilled with 60 minutes!

Rest and wait on Him. Let Him start you on a fresh path. Praise Him for all the glorious things He's done for you. The trials He has seen you through and the times of learning to come!

Blessings!

I know what you mean....the Lord? Time with Him? Huh? What's that. I fixed that this week...I needed it! AND, with a little push from Oman, those few places of chaos are nicely falling back into order. All in time, dear friend, all in time.

P.O.O.P.I.E

People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants in the Environment ! Okay folks it's been a week....which is way too long. Schooling 3 1/2 is a bit daunting at times. My other excuse.....I've been freaking out about lice for over a week. No, I didn't have it (this time around), but I've scratched myself raw over it! On to P.O.O.P.I.E.! Over at Nestor's she's done a short series on what's a good fake and what's not ( errr flowers that is). So after you take a peak at mine head over there and read hers and everyone else' poop (can I say that?), I mean blogs! Nesting Place is in my side bar if you need directions ( I wanted to put the button up, but have no clue). These are my year round fakies .... Superman gave me the floral arrangement about 12 years ago when we couldn't afford flowers, who am I kidding....we still can't! I did change out the pedestal urn they came in. My wonderful ivy on top of the cabinets. My chicks have always ha...

Nestor's Party- My Craft Room!

Well I wanted to get these up because Nestor is having a 10 minute to a beautiful room party . This has definitely taken more than 10 minutes. But in my brain it was only suppose to take a day! It's far from finished, but that's what a craft room is for. Right? Here's a couple of before pics during the Children's Christmas play. Basically every surface was covered and I had to move stuff just to work. Five of us craft, sew, scrapbook etc in this room. So space and good storage is an issue. The room is apx.10x11. I really want my daughter's to grow up being Keeper's of their Homes. Home Decorating and Crafting Frugally is a must! You can have a beautiful home on a very tight budget. I also want them to be creative and have a place to show and explore their abilities. ( alrighty let me jump down from my horse; ) Here's some after photos. The paint was from the $5 bin and too yellow. So I added alot of white that we had from another project! Th...

Zeee Transformation!

It's Frugal Friday again! I really enjoy everyone's offerings. Please share your comments and head over to Biblicalwomanhood.com for more great tips. I have it listed in Friends and Interest for your convienece. Have a great weekend and enjoy! I've been anxious to get these up here! This was one of Superman's and my summer projects. We finished just in time for our littlest chickadee's birthday and for use while I'm schooling the rest of the brood. Here's what I found at a local thrift store.... The stove had a sad laminate door on it that someone else had used to repair it. I sanded down both the fridge and stove. I also traced the stove top. Then Superman took over. He did more sanding, replaced the door with scrap wood and cut out a window. So that she can see what's baking. After that it was time to paint! I really wanted red because (for now) it's in my kitchen and it looks great with the other colors in there. Quite Spicy! And I found it in th...
