Now, Where Was I?

I am a wife, Momma, house keeper, home school teacher, part time employee...and the list goes on and on. But the one thing I am not is a multi-tasker. Oh how I wish I were!!! I find that I work in circles. More times than not, I find my self saying wasn't I doing something else first or this is not going to help me get to my original goal. I do get my tasks (what ever they might be) done but, I usually feel like there has to be a way for them to go more smoothly. I see Mamma's with more children than I, and think to myself they seem to have to really have it together! They do not miss a beat. I guess this is a area that I will just keep plugging away at. Maybe I should try making a list. Although, I will start the list and before I know it one thing leads to the next and I am doing a little bit of each task at one time. I know I am a sight, Tony gets tickled with me and reminds me to stay focused. All this said I think I have passed my habit to Courtney. I watch her and she does the same thing. It is so true that our kiddo's learn from their examples, even the characteristics that we like the least.

Taking Down Trees

Tony and a couple of guys took down 25 trees of different sizes in our front yard about a month ago. What a difference it has made in the front yard. Of course we are still cleaning up the mess it made in the front yard but it will be worth all the work when it is finished.
