This morning TJ and I went to MOPs at Crossroads.  This is our third week there and I have met so many wonderful ladies.  I get so much encouragement from meeting with these ladies every other week.

  I have really embraced this staying at home thing - at least from the perspective of being on some sort of schedule.  

  Mondays are preschool days - I take TJ to preschool, come home and have some time to myself (Bible Study, play online time, laundry folding time :) )  Then in the afternoon we have lunch and if he is tired enough, TJ takes a nap.  Jordyn gets home at 3:45 so the deal is he gets to get up when Sissy gets home.

  Tuesdays are stay at home days - these are usually lounge around in pajama days.  Painting or playdoughing done by TJ.  Chores for me.  Whee.

 Wednesdays are preschool and bible study days.  I head off to bible study at church after dropping TJ off.  We are studying Beth Moore's Seeking A Heart Like His - a study on David.  The afternoon looks the same as Monday, except that Jordyn gets home around 2:15 so nap doesn't usually happen.

 Thursdays are MOPs/stay at home days - if you are getting the jist - afternoons are always the same.

 Fridays are preschool days again.  

So as long as we don't have any other stuff going on, this is what the week looks like.  I like being in a smaller house where TJ can play in the front room with me or I can hear and talk to him down the hallway in his room. It's easier to keep the front room picked up (which I need to do today) and vacuumed.  I try to vacuum at least twice a week since the dogs keep the carpet filled with hair.  

I never thought I would be comfortable staying at home - maybe because I feel like I won't have anything to entertain TJ - but he is old enough to entertain himself while I do chores - or blog.  LOL.  I like our schedule and right now I am in danger of losing it, if I don't find enough piano students.  I have 3 now, my neighbor starting soon and 2 prospective students from MOPs.  With that and AVON I think I should be on my way to being okay.  I can buy soap and shampoo and makeup from AVON thus saving us money for other things.  

FlyLady Mission today is to shine the sink in the kids bathroom.  Score - I did that the other day.  So instead I will gather up toys in the front room, put them in a basket for each kid and vacuum.  Have a blessed afternoon.  I know I will.
