Why I have so few posts

I have been amazed at how so many people can post something everyday and it has taken me 6 months to post 3 times! As I wrote earlier, I am striving to be like the woman in Proverbs and so putting God, family, and housework before blogging leaves little extra time. However, don't think for a minute that I am that righteous! I do manage to have my quiet time every morning while I have my coffee. After I make my husband and oldest son their breakfast and send them out the door I have from 7:25-8:00 to spend time in prayer and read a chapter or two from the Bible....but I must confess that the rest of my morning tends to be less like the woman from Proverbs.




I spend ridiculous amounts of time on unimportant (but ever-so-important at the time) decorating decisions...like should I have this fake tree in the corner near the window

or should I have a different tree along the wall

on this side of the room?

or just keep both in the room?

And I spend a lot of time THINKING about what

I need to be doing...cleaning the pool cover off and

raking around the pool...Yikes! I told my

husband if we had a pool I would take complete

care of it.Doesn't it make you want to swim?

















atleast someone thinks the pool looks inviting

PS here is a before shot of the dining room. I have managed to do a few things. Hopefully you think it looks better now. I am sure the blue striped wallpaper and burgundy shades were very stylish in the early 90's (I wish I had a picture of the blue floral swag)
