Goals
I'm already getting started! Aren't you proud of me?! I stumbled across the name of a woman who specializes in helping women create the homes they desire thanks to Michelle Duggar's book The Duggars: 20 and Counting! In Michelle's book, she mentions Emilie Barnes as a great resource for helping to organize your home. So I went to ebay, my husband's favorite site. And boy, were there TONS of books by Emilie Barnes. One that caught my fancy was More Hours in My Day. I mean, come on, the title alone summed up my life's plea! I definitely needed more hours in my day! Who doesn't?! I ordered a couple other books by her and when I got them in the mail, I began reading and couldn't put her books down! They were filled cover to cover with helpful and EASY tips to getting and staying organized while also being a successful wife and mother and well... having a PURPOSE DRIVEN HOME! Emilie says that we should begin with goals - "... if we don't know what our purpose, goals, values, and priorities are in life, we'll not be able to effectively manage our lives, homes, and families." So my goal for tonight while the hubby is at soccer practice and the girls are hopefully in bed asleep, is to write out my family life goals. So be sure to check back and make sure I did my homework!

Yes dear... and then do share :o) I'm only 39 weeks pregnant and my house is a mess and I cannot get on top of it before baby comes.. little jack is going to be born into a filthy house filled with cat hair!! At least I know mom-in-law will volunteer to come over and clean, but lordie, I'd like it to be clean BEFORE he gets here.. and right now, I had several hours before work at 1pm and what am I doing? Facebooking... :o) catching up on friends lives and reading their new mommy blogs.. hehe

Well as you can see I have not yet even posted my goals. Oh life! I know EXACTLY how you feel, J... I remember the same feeling right before I was going to pop both times. I am getting so excited for you, though. Just REST, REST, REST!
