Busy Week

Lately I have realized that my vision of what I WISH I was doing and what was actually happening are two completely different things. Here are some examples:

My vision of the wife/mother I want to be #1:

-

-

A beautiful home-made warm breakfast made every morning.

-

My reality:

-

Cold cereal for all.

-
My vision of the wife/mother I want to be #2:

-

Perfect body and in perfect shape.

-

My reality:

-

-

My vision of the wife/mother I want to be #3:

-

-

-

-

-

-

Perfect, thoroughly uplifting scripture study on a daily basis.

-

My reality:

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

My vision of the wife/mother I want to be #4

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Beaufiful home storage/home production techniques.

-

Reality:

But this last week I have finally begun to conquer some of these challenges. In this past week I have:

1. Made pancakes for breakfast ON A WORK DAY for the first time in our entired married life.
-
2. Started jogging again. Granted, it is for less than a mile and only takes me about 8 minutes- but it is a start.
-
3. Bought a book that clearly explains Isaiah and am delving into the scriptures and learning more than I have in a long time
-
4. Made homemade grape juice from Concord Grapes from a grape tree in Ben's parents yard, made homemade chokecherry syrup from chokecherries in our backyard, and planted 2 apple and 1 cherry tree in our backyard (OK, in reality Ben's dad was incredibly generous and did 100% of the work in the actual planting of the trees).

Maybe next I'll start cleaning...
