It's always nice to stroke things off your list

organize noah's toys (this was also done, but got messy)
organize Isaiah's toys (ditto)
De clutter toys (give away half of them!!)
Go through all the kids clothes ( did the girls' clothes last night the boys tonight)
make a pile for baby
make a give away pile
Plan Noah's school year
Plan Isaiah's school year
Organize school books
Organize hall closet (all the puzzle pieces from about 20 puzzles are all in the same box!!!AAAHHH)
Organize baby stuff
Renovate our basement (put 2 rooms and a bathroom downstairs)
Paint

I was so very encouraged by all the comments...thank you thank you thank you.
All of you spoke truth that I needed to hear. I really appreciate you all and the wisdom from those that have gone before was great.

Well, it is one task at a time, going on the right source of strentgh and the rest is up to God.

As a side note....we are hoping to buy this house....and yesterday, the hot water tank busted! And our landlord agreed to have it replaced and to upgrade the chimney!!! So when and if we buy the house, our hotwater tank will be brand new, new chimney, and our furnace was replaced 2 years ago. What a blessing.
God is so good, what can I say.

We're going to make a list for ourselves too, of all that needs to get done in a very short time, so that we can cross off the things that we've done, and feel a sense of relief that we're getting somewhere. It's important to see that, because it's hard to see any progress when you're in the midst of what looks like chaos. Keep it up, you're doing awesome.
and in the times where everything is falling apart, remember your magnets -lol
happy kids and a dirty oven, messy house and a beautiful garden. ;)
