Monday, day 35

So, after hiking 1 mile out of the woods to the car, we were stinky and ready to get home.  I scrubbed the kids down and we rested for a couple of hours before we were out the door again for lunch and swimming at Matt's parent's house.

Holy cow!  I am just exhausted, just remembering all of the things that we did this weekend.  Everyone had fun, though.  Everyone is tired.  We left the kids at Matt's parent's house to spend the night.  Matt and I have to work tomorrow.  Back to our "other" jobs.  The non-fun part of life.  You know Matt is right; he wonders why we work so hard and spend time away from our kids.  Really wish we could both find great paying jobs that we loved and never miss time with our kids or each other! 

Update of Challenge:
Forgot my whistle over the weekend.  A little yelling, but I got to pick up my whistle and work on being slow to anger.  Especially after my meltdown last Friday. 

I am enjoying a rather, clean house.  My kitchen is easily tidyed each night.  Usually just takes a few minutes.  I am working on cleaning while I go.  Washing while I am cooking and NEVER leaving dishes in the sink.  The laundry is pretty much always running, but I love the smell of my fabric softener and I am enjoying the smell of "clean cotton" throughout the house (encouragement plug to keep laundry going).  The kids are even getting better about helping me keep the house tidy.  Matt and I are still reading our Bible reading plan on my Kindle.  We are several days behind, but we are still trucking.
