I want to be drawing up and implementing a schedule, with the help of Managers of Their Homes. I want to be encouraging my children to help out more, a la Managers of Their Chores. I want to be cleaning my house with Flylady, organising my days with Large Family Logistics, and schooling with Ambleside Online.
I have books and ideas coming out of my ears, and I can do nothing, because for this whole year so far I’ve been ill. I’ve just got home from 4 days in hospital. I tidied up my bedroom and did some laundry today, was about to do the dishes but had to go back to bed because I felt sick and dizzy. The children have spent most of their time at my mum’s, or being looked after by Andy. I am SO FRUSTRATED!
That’s it really. Happy 2012 everyone! (Grr.)

So sorry to hear that you have been ill. Was thinking that you haven’t posted for a while. Must be so frustrating but even these things are in God’s plan.

Thanks Sarah. I shall have to memorise the verse you gave me last time – ‘But he said to me “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake I DELIGHT IN WEAKNESSES, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.’ (2 Cor 12:9-10)
I guess I should be doing more boasting and less whining!
