Yep, I fell asleep with the pizza in the oven after work last night. I didn't hear the kitchen timer and completely forgot I had a pizza in the oven when I woke up from my hour and a half catnap. That pizza was so burnt you couldn't even guess what kind of pizza it was.  Apparently yesterday was a little more stressful than I thought. Luckily I had frozen Chimichanga's in the freezer for a quick back up.

To Make the Bed or Not To

    There is nothing like walking in the door after a busy day out and finding the floor has been vacuumed, the bathroom has been cleaned and supplied with fresh clean, white towels, and the bed has been made with fresh sheets and fluffed pillows. You may think that pampered feeling only happnes for $100 a night at a nice hotel. But you can have that pampered feeling if you take a few extra minutes and make the bed in the morning. Seems like a lot in the morning, but it is such a nice surprise when you walk in the bedroom door at night.

One Small Thing

  Walking in the door, we head for seperate corners. My son's first stop is his room where everything gets dumped on his bed, mine is the counter between the kitchen and family room. Whatever is in my hands; my keys, the mail, my purse, and my day planner;  all get set on the counter and I pull up a stool and start sorting and planning. I sort the pile of mail and then open my planner. Pondering the dinner choices I make the final decisions about our evening meal. Will we eat at the counter or the dining room table? How soon shall I begin cooking? Soon I'll clear the counter and carry out my plan.

Back At Home

Welcome to Back At Home, my blog about Homes. Home, defined as a house, a domicile, or a base of operations, is more passionately defined by Webster as "the center of one's domestic affections." There is nothing like returning home after a long trail ride, an extended vacation, or just a hard day at work or school. Busy folks have a challenging task ahead of them to keep a house ready to welcome them back home. This blog is all about the trials, successes, and ideas that go into keeping up and finding peace and joy at home.
      Hope you'll join us and share your experiences creating a home fit to Welcome the King. Feel free to share what works, what didn't work, and areas that you are successful or struggling in. Please help create an encouraging atmosphere where we can help each other on this journey of faith til we reach our perfect home prepared for us in heaven.
