Sit at home mom...

Isn't that what "they" imagine? That we just sit around and enjoy the lazy days of being at home? What a farce!
I recently went to a "Titus2" homeschooling/organization seminar. It was great, I realized I needed to be more structured at my home. Because after all we have all this time and nothing to do. Only in all my time I had things not getting done! So off to schedule our lives I went... It has been great, only I have to stay up late to get my computer time in. I don't have any daytime hours to squeeze it in.
How is it that you moms who work do it? I don't have time for all the things I need to get done and I am "at work" 24/7 or at least 4/7 days. I don't get to drive home to the comfort of family like the hubby does. I am always at work.
Anyway back to scheduling. It has been a challenge, the girls are like trained rats in a lab. They must do things like we have been. So to retrain them is against the grain. The first few days are fun, lets see what this is about. Then they get to wanting to go back to the days of not getting anything done. Those days are the hardest. Especially when I just need a restful day and they take advantage of my weakness.
Now to top off the change of a schedule, my 6yo has decided that she missed the 2/3 yo testing stage and she wants to try it out. My little obedient, mild natured first born has found a mack truck to push through the envelope with.
Father I am at a loss here. Give me perseverance to make it through this stage Reign is in. Help me to hold fast to the standard you have set and given to me to provide. Soften her heart to be changed and retrained to a woman after you, after your desires for her. Help me to know the right things to say and the right things to do to bring all these children to walk the narrow path. I need your help Lord Jesus. Amen.
