God's Praise And Worship Church

This is what happens when my kids miss too much church. They make their own. Since this horrific bug has been making it's way through our family we have missed a month of Sunday's at church. Here is the conversation as it took place yesterday after announcing we would, again, miss church.

Charlotte: It's ok Zach, we can learn about God at home.

Zach: I KNOW!!! We can make our own church!

Charlotte: OK, we will make it like a tent in my room.

Zach: I get to name it. Hmmmm I will name it "Praise and Worship Church"

Charlotte: I'll get the art supplies!

Zach: We can sing Godly songs! (In a scolding tone) NO Hannah Montana, Charlotte...just Godly songs! (Note to self..find out how they know Hannah Montana songs)

During the making of the sign....

Zach: It needs more detail. (Where does he get this?) I know!! "God's Praise and Worship Church".

The books are "pretend song books". So my kids had church!

Later they worked a 550 piece puzzle.

My cold is not better, but different. My throat has improved but now my sinus and ears are involved. Really, I am just SICK of being sick. I try to ignore it everyday and just go about my work, but I tire easily. I did finally sleep well last night. I have that "underwater" feeling in my ears which is annoying and the pressure in my sinus is terrible. Do any of you have a home remedy for relieving sinus pressure?? This is my 3rd week of this and my mom has had it for 6 weeks. She has been on 2 different antibiotics and still has the symptoms so it has to be viral.

I worked some on my binder and did my Tuesday tackle...I will share that tomorrow. I added index tabs to my section pages. I am revamping some jobs and getting my seasonal chores compiled. Susan at Wishing for a Simple Life is wanting to revamp her binder for a working mom. If anyone has tips they could give her, pop over and leave your comments. I have said this many times...a binder is such a personal thing that mine would not work for someone else. We can glean ideas and sections from each other, but in the long run, your binder will need to reflect your life. Someone else may not need a daily chores section as they have no children at home and things tend to stay orderly. Let me clarify also that when I say "binder", I am referring to any written home management tool. Yours may all be neatly in a word document on your laptop, or in a recipe style box or even a "flipper" file using a photo album and index cards (my first system was this sort). Whatever you are using, it can only work if it reflects your life...not someone else's. I am now stepping off my Binder! Lecture over!

Today is a new day, ears plugged and all! I have laundry well underway and am looking at my focus cleaning for today. Sweet Hubby did some vacuuming for me yesterday and I think he even dusted. He came home from work on Saturday night at 6:30 and said "Go on up to bed, I will take care of things." How sweet! I actually did go up and watched a movie and relaxed. Last night he bought us all dinner from a new Italian place that delivers. The pizza was excellent and the Panino Sweet Hubby ordered was good too....Cheesy Beef. After dinner I went upstairs and put my jammies on and when I came back down the kitchen was clean and coffee for today was made. I love that guy! I spent my evening reading "The Excellent Wife" by Martha Price and plan to do more of that today. I am really enjoying her style of writing. Right now, I need to scoot and get Zach going on math and check Charlotte's progress. Come back tomorrow to see my Tackle...I am on a whole new level!
