I also enjoy folding clothes and putting them in drawers so they're ready for my husband and daughter to wear.

Double yuck! I hate it so much that I'm actually thinking of buying a new one just so I don't have to do it. Well, sort of. We desperately need a new one. So I think if I just get around and get it, I won't have to deal with the current mess, and I WILL keep the new one clean from the get-go. ;) Thanks for taking time to stop by and for leaving your own great perspective! :)Elizabeth Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14323422138353699587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113701246699691315.post-55392222868135694582016-01-31T12:20:42.000-05:002016-01-31T12:20:42.000-05:00Great list!

It's not as if we love our mom jobs (even the ones we actually like the most) all the time, but it helps to see "the greater thing" we're doing when we're driving or cooking or doing dishes or whatever.

Not coincidentally, a job NOT on my list. ;) Thank you for taking time to stop by!Elizabeth Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14323422138353699587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113701246699691315.post-50614655461835585372016-01-29T08:55:31.837-05:002016-01-29T08:55:31.837-05:00I get tired of driving to and from places, but I w...I get tired of driving to and from places, but I will never get tired of the wonderful conversations that happen spontaneously.

This may be TMI, but I've recently developed a rather odd delight in sucking up the dust and fuzz embedded in our upstairs carpets (old house...lots of historic dust and fuzz). It accumulates in the brush attachment, so I have to clean it out. And just seeing it makes me feel so accomplished. Really, I have got to get a life. But there it is.

One swipe of a machine and you have cleanliness. It's so rewarding. <br />C. Chauffeuring is the bane of my existence. I love my teenagers, too, but I wish they would get their license already. I have to get up at 4AM to make sure everyone gets to school and work. Without coffee. If I wasn't a Christian, bad things would happen. ;) <br />D. I will be checking out your other posts.

It's often how I speak love to my sweet ones...and how they hear it. Praying God will strengthen you while you're in a season of transition...and that you'll soon be able to rejoice in being "home" with a celebration dinner!

My patience was not what it is now, but now I love to cuddle them back to health. Also food. I loooooooove food. We are currently between living situations so it is really hard to provide them with food that I feel is adequate.
