In fact, if my kitchen "fails" its a green light for the rest of the house to fall apart. And, now, with seven children under my blessed feet I need to keep it built up as long as possible.<br /><br />Your blog is wonderful.

Anyway, plans for the weekend, well, not firm, but I think we're going shopping for herbs at a local nursery who is having an open house. Might walk down to a yard sale in our neighborhood (hooray for yard sale season!), might go to a play at a local college tomorrow night. We'll see what we decide on! Might just stay home and be lazy all day :-)Kristinhttp://windy-poplars.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564022913318082163.post-49305406970967214392010-04-13T03:01:58.517-07:002010-04-13T03:01:58.517-07:00I am such a pac rat too!

I make up a schedule of tasks for the week and try to stick to it.<br /><br /> I am following you from Friday Follow. I hope you follow me back.

And yeah my husband graduates this May {in about a month} and I am sooo excited! I think even just having him done with school will be nice!! And then of course when I"m done I am expecting to have a lot more energy and time to clean!!<br /><br />By the way do you have a blog? I've checked out your website but don't know if you have a blog I could go check out :D Let me know!<br /><br />And I'm trying everyday to be more and more like the Proverbs 31 wife..it's just hard! lol ;)<br /><br />JamiJamiBalmethttp://jamibalmet.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564022913318082163.post-86250089586488969562010-04-08T21:50:28.338-07:002010-04-08T21:50:28.338-07:00Hey Jami,

Being only 20, it is hard to keep up with school while trying to pay the mortgage while trying to enjoy ever honeymoon moment with each other. I think I am finally getting used to it. I am by no means saying our house is always clean but I do realize, now being graduated and working along side my husband in our business... that though things don't slow down - they do get easier. I said I would do this week after week and I kept feeling like I was failing. But my one advice to you ... is no matter how many times you let yourself down - Don't Give Up! Each week you get a little bit better and sooner than you know it... we will both be Proverbs 31 wives! :) All the best!Sabrina Whethamhttp://www.whethamsolutions.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564022913318082163.post-31595948556927942502010-04-08T17:32:05.705-07:002010-04-08T17:32:05.705-07:00Hey Jami!

Well, if you've never heard of Flylady, she's definitely one to look up. Flylady.net I think it is. All her info can be overwhelming at first, but she has lots of good stuff to pick and choose what works for you.- I'm sure I'll be posting about her and her system more one of these days on my blog...

At the end of the day I just want to lounge around!<br />Something that has helped me that might work for you is to take the first 10 or 15 mins. as soon as I get home to "tidy up." If I do it every day, it really only takes 5 or 10 minutes to clean up the breakfast dishes, wipe down the counters, pick up the laundry, whatever else. THEN, I can relax : ) Hope that helps!Nataliehttp://www.nattiesnotions.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
