I have a couple of piles of boxes still to put away in the living room. Actually, that’s not accurate. I mostly have two big piles of miscellaneous “stuff” that isn’t really boxed at all. Since we’re not moving from very far away (just across the corn field, to be exact), we never bothered to box some of our things; instead, we just loaded them into the trailer and brought them over. So there’s a bit of a mess still to go through, BUT almost everything else has found a home.
Marc has been keeping his tools and supplies on half of the kitchen table as he’s been working…but now he’s approaching the end of his immediate “to-do” list and I’m looking forward to having the table back (and the kitchen a little more de-cluttered) as well. Once things look a little more normal, I’m hoping to post some pics. 🙂
Going from 3,000 square feet to 1,400 has been an interesting proposition, but we’re finding that with a little ingenuity we have a place for everything. As our ten year-old says, “It’s smaller, but it’s exactly what we need.” And praise God, it is!
I enjoyed a little break from house stuff yesterday as I gave a talk at Cindy Rushton’s Ultimate Homeschool Expo on the topic of Simplified Biblical Instruction and Character Training for Children. I spoke for about an hour, and the chat/questions went on for TWO HOURS after that–whew! It was a lot of fun for me. Now, back to work. My goal is to get the house in order before this baby arrives…and I have another doctor’s appointment tomorrow so won’t be making much progress at home, I expect. After being offline for a few days and finally getting our Internet restored yesterday, I’m just now catching up with email/business, so now…back to work!
