The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

time : 7:00 AM
watching : morning cartoons with the boys 
reading : almost finished with Just Start and then I plan on starting Those Who Save Us
feeling : Gosh, where do I begin?  Crazy busy…overwhelmed…like life is simultaneously flying and dragging?  I’ll be able to share more details soon, but please know any prayers would be so appreciated!    
creating : to-do list after to-do list.  Between moving, starting our school year and preparing for a new baby’s arrival, my list never seems to grow any smaller.  And OCD confession: am I the only one who will re-write a to-do list after a bunch of items have been crossed off?  I like my list nice and neat…ha!  
thinking : about the beginning of our school year.  I’ve finally set the “official” first day to the first week in August.  Now to take the boys on a special school supplies trip to Target 🙂  
hoping : that my one-hour glucose test (that I took for the second time this pregnancy) will come back in a normal range, so I’m spared from taking the three-hour test again!  This has been a source of major stress for me.   
needing : free labor to come and work on our landscaping.  My Operation:Curb Appeal has been slow going with 100 degree temps and a huge pregnant belly.  I’ve still got lots of weeding and “prettifying” (why yes, that is a made up word!) to do, but not a lot of motivation to do it.   
wondering : how I’m going to “do it all”.  In my head, I know that something’s got to give and unfortunately that may be this blog for a little while.  I plan on popping in as frequently as I can, though, so keep checking back!  (If you’re interested, sign up to get posts in your e-mail or add me to your blog Reader!) I am so thankful for all of you readers and the friendships this blog has created for me.  You are the best!

    Praying for you!! You will be able to get it all done. It may not be exactly as you had hoped but you will get through this move and sell your house! St Joseph, pray for us.

    Katie, thank you for your prayers! Trying to see the bigger picture and not get too stressed with all the details…somedays, easier said than done! 🙂
