“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
(Matthew 6:34 ESV)
Today is Tuesday which means according to our new life schedule, I do laundry all day and this week Mary made Lunch and I made dinner. I also have to move the car for the street cleaner. It sounds so simple. After breakfast and devotions at 8, I collect the laundry supervise kids getting breakfast and grab a cup of coffee and my phone and head out to the car. I have developed a system. I sit in the running car until the street cleaner is a block behind me, I go around the block and repark in the same place and leave the car. I end up sitting in the car for about 45 min. Today we got our new pedometers delivered and some curriculum so the time went fast.

Fight the desire to get back in bed and sleep the rest of the day............look at pics from the weekend......REALLY want to go back to bed and sleep now, decide no, I should do something about how there are no decent pics of me(besides deleting them) and print off forms to keep track of EVERY bite. Because either I am eating ALOT more than I think I am or there is something seriously wrong with my body.
