...ought to include working ourselves out of a job. Mostly. And I think I'm well on my way! Problem is, I don't know that I feel too happy about that, especially when I consider that I don't necessarily want to be without a job. Today the kitchen was decluttered to an immaculate state, dinner made, a quadruple batch of blueberry muffins made and shared, dirty diapers changed, barn stalls cleaned, barn walls repaired...and perhaps more...
...all while I was out with my very younger sister helping her try on her wedding dress, finalize the menu plans and site arrangements, eat a delicious lunch, and find a very meaningful memento for Little One.
Funny how a noble goal can leave one feeling...well...not very needed.
I'm going to pull a Scarlet O'Hara and think about that tomorrow. For tonight, I'm just going to enjoy my incredibly clean kitchen :)

Boy, oh boy, Kathy...do i ever know this feeling!
Yes ~ so very true. I am finding a new excitement in my marriage. We are having more fun and going on dates. I even have rekindled some friendships with the special ladies in my life. I am embracing this new chapter and trying not to cry so much. We will make it!
Thank you for your sweet farmhouse hug this morning. I needed it.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Okay...I just want to write to say I LOVE YOU....♥♥♥♥ I do pray that all the wedding preparations go smoothly...Hugs to you my SWEET SWEET friend...
Enjoy every moment of it while it lasts! Before you know it, you will be caught up in grandmothering!!!
I'm sure before you know it it will be her wedding you're planning & then you'll have your job back well & truely (in spats as the other children grow older). I'm glad she's pampering you ~ enjoy that clean kitchen!
I pray that I am preparing my girls for such a stage, but right now I am enjoying changing all the diapers myself and my kitchen will just have to wait. Thank you for your inspiration!
Hi, Kathy.
My daughters and I have been following Jenna's blog for a long time. (Just came across yours for the first time. :) ) She is such a great role model. I loved the article she wrote about being a godly example for her younger siblings. You and your husband are doing a wonderful job. Keep encouraged and pressing on!
I was wondering if I might have your private email address. I promise no SPAM or forwards. I'd just like to chat with you about some "mommy" things. Please email me at graceridgefarm@gmail.com
Blessings!
