Keeping the PEACE

It has been a few weeks & I haven't had any takers on the assistant job---can't imagine why!!  I have been searching for that PEACE that I wanted & I think I have found it.  I am learning to not let the little things become BIG things.  I am a sort of Pinterest addict & I remember a saying from there that goes something like "The laundry may not all be done, there may be dirty dishes in the sink, the house may be a little messy.  That just means my kids have worn clean clothes, eaten at meals, & that we have enjoyed our time together."  I know I am not quoting this perfectly, but you get the idea.
  I am still trying to stay with the daily chore chart that is on the dry erase board in the laundry room, but I am not going to run around like a chicken with my head cut off & stay up all hours of the night to try & get it done!  So, if you come to our home to visit, don't expect everything to be oh-so perfect...it is 'lived in'.  We haven't given up by any means...but we are enjoying each others company & keeping the PEACE in our home, lives, & sleep schedules!!
