You give them fancy toys – but they like the simple ones! (last video from our laundry day – I promise our living room is clean again! lol)
First, prayer request – It is time for a big tune-up for our van. In order to save some money, Eric and his dad were going to do the work. His dad is a retired mechanic but working together has not always gone well. They spent the morning gathering the required parts ($$) and then put the van in my FIL’s driveway and jacked it up. Well, within 5 mins disaster struck. We don’t know why – but all of a sudden the key won’t work. Something has locked up. My FIL had to be somewhere and Eric is freaked out. I’m freaked out – this is our family vehicle. We do have another, older van – a conversion van – but it is so big that I don’t like to drive it. I will learn if I have to — but other newer van is better for me. Please pray that (1) they will figure out what is wrong, (2) there will be no other problems and setbacks and most importantly (3) that they work well together.
Yesterday, I tried to get video of JGirl jabbering – a momento for when she is all grown up. It didn’t turn out to well – she thinks the camera is a fun toy! But I enjoyed it all the same:

I sort the kids clothes into baskets and then, in theory, they fold them and put them away. I’m afraid they are shoved into random drawers as-is but I don’t want to know, so I don’t look.
Today I left JGirl’s basket on the floor and she un-helped me!
Who me? (sunburned from Beach yesterday – sadly, Mommy forgot the camera)

Am I the only one who struggles like this? So many of my friends – online and offline – seem to just keep all those plates going. Or am I the only one to whine about it?

…but that’s a lie. Until I get a handle on my home and life, I will continue to be spinning out of control. Things just keep piling up while I deal with the urgent. My “important” list is growing but nothing is happening on it.   Hoping to get some things done today while Family is at church and JGirl naps (guess who was up again last night to play! “Nocturnal One” sigh).
Laundry is going – so that is some progress!
