I have found that I can't be a Jersey Housewife. After cleaning, reading, making 2 baby blankets, and starting a huge project making my race shirts into a quilt, I need to work. That was all done by Tuesday and I had the rest of the week! I also know that even at the times that I don't want to leave the house, I need to leave the house at least once a day. Depression would creep up it's ugly face O'So quickly. So, it was a blessing that my wonderful friends needed an overnight babysitter for her daughter. I got to get out of mind of doing nothing and got out of the house. It was also a reminder that I need to be thankful for my singleness b/c at times I usually want to go to the bathroom by myself and want to watch what I want on TV. I also have been to the library twice this week. I am slowly getting through a Beth Moore book. I am loving some Amish books by Beverly Lewis. It's b/c of me that there is none at your local libraries. The simple life fascinates me. They just have different things that they have to think about. I really like reading about the mating rituals? That doesn't sound right, but the way the Amish go about meeting and dating. Really they don't date. They hang out and then they don't tell anyone that they are together until a month before their wedding. And then they tell the whole church about it.
What else? I am really trying to consciously have quiet Jesus time this week. When you have the time you can't sit still and while during work you pray for time alone with Him.
