The For Sale sign is out in the yard. So know it is time to start praying. We are still doing some work around here, but decided we have waited long enough. There's not much to do, just some little things. So hopefully we can get it done soon. I will post some pictures of everything as soon as my camera battery is charged.
Today has been a wonderful day for me. I have felt real good so far. The house is clean, laundry done, bread rising and even some banana bread in the oven. So thank you Lord for the strength today so far. Yesterday was such a bad day for me, so when Lee came home he decided that he was making a daily chart for my kids. They are loving it! He has every minute of the day planned out for them.

Oh i hope you don't have to wait long for a buyer. We are all praying for your family and hoping the Lord will work it all out if its his will.
Thats awesome! I love how dad gives the kids time to work out and have relax time to themselves.I hope they continue to keep with it!
I think i need a daily chart...
Nice! We'll be praying for you guys!
That brings back alot of memories of homeschooling. We had a charts like that too. ^-^ -sigh- those were the days...
Did you say "time to START praying?" what have we all been doing!?
Love the chore lists. I'm glad they are motivating the kids.
I think chores are a great idea. It helps you and it gets them used to it, so by thetime they get married and on their own, they will automatically do it. i've been praying that God will help you guys according to his own will. It more than likely (judging by the last house) will sell very fast!
