Day 9 Post. I got a lot done yesterday--mostly catching up with laundry! When I started this blog on Jan 2nd, I was soooo behind in laundry and now we have been doing some each day (except for Friday) and a bunch yesterday and by the end of tonight ot tomorrow we will be all caught up and if we keep doing a t least a load a day--we will STAY caught up! What a GREAT feeling! I also got caught up enough to where I felt I could give up the machines for Friday night and let a friend(whose machines are broken down) do her laundry! Normally, I would be like, dude, I would let you, but I have too much laundry to catch up on myself!

Jon and I decided a long time ago that Sunday's would be our day off from really any intense work. Some people call it their day of rest or their Sabbath day. We believe that God wants us to take a day off in the week --not to give us another rule, but because he loves us and knows that we need to rest. The problem that I have run in to is that I haven't been disciplined enough during the week, so Sunday comes and I get all anxious and rush around getting things accomplished that I procrastinated in the week and it really turns out to be one of the most stressful days of my week, rather than restful! Can anyone relate??? So, today we have chosen to REST(green is suppose to be a restful color:)). It's been good so far, and we are going on a date now--see ya!! I actually DO feel rested because there is nothing pending---because of the discipline I was able to conquer this past week!
