Because this week I need a reminder.....

this is my job. Getting up, making the bed, getting dressed, making breakfast, serving breakfast, cleaning up breakfast, getting a load of laundry in, sweeping the floor, figuring out what to have for dinner, cleaning bathrooms, playing, playing, and more playing.... I'm SOO unmotivated right now. So mundane. I so wish I could do better at this and have more consistency. I wish. I wish. I wish. My friend and MOPS director Jen told us about this book at MOPS a couple weeks ago when we were talking about the importance of play. The following appears on one of the first pages of the book:

The Family Manager's Creed
I oversee the most important organization in the world-
Where hundreds of decisions are made daily
Were property and resources are managed
Where health and nutritional needs are determined
Where finances and futures are debated
Where projects are planned and events are arranged
Where transportation and scheduling are critical
Where team-building is a priority
Where careers begin and end

I am a Family Manager.

When I first read this it was such an affirmation for me. All of the thoughts and decisions running through my mind all at once seem to all make sense and have a bigger purpose when I read this. I'm gonna read it a few more times now and pray that the Lord can use it to get me on my game today. Blah...

My two little super-heroes. Though I'm not the most motivated mommy in the world right now, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but with them every day.
