Living in a Routine

We are experiencing some really hot days here in Oregon. Not typical for this time of year. As a result, we have stayed indoors mostly and that has resulted into very lazy days.

We don't have central air, but do have units that keep our home cool. I'm actually comfortable. Probably too comfortable. I keep the bedroom doors closed so the units don't have to cool more rooms than necessary and because of that, I don't want to go into by bedroom to do the much-needed laundry.

My poor children have been allowed to view way too many DVD's and I have failed to get dressed. I came across this very timely post from one of my favorite blogs: Simple Mom.

She touches on my problem. I am starting my day without focus, without purpose and more dangerously, without the Lord. I'm a wanderer in my own home.

She gives practical advice and encouragement, along with the tools to be successful.

What do you struggle with as a stay-at-home-mom? Are you lazy like me or are you a slave to your schedule? Either way, we need to remember we are to be keepers at home and tenderly teaching our children the ways of God. Only thing my kids are learning from me right now is how to be on my idol-the computer.

So, I'm logging off now and will try to salvage the rest of this day!
