Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Today was golden.  It really and truly was.  Despite a late start to the day (don’t ask!), we worked quickly and efficiently and accomplished quite a bit before lunch time.  All three bathrooms were thoroughly cleaned, with Aaron, Dani and I each cleaning one.  My morning kitchen routine was completed.  Two big loads of laundry…

I’d hoped that this would be the rare Wednesday that my husband would have off.  I know that he does very much appreciate being able to pull an overtime shift on his every-other-Wednesday off, and I am thankful that the Lord has made so many of these overtime shifts available to him.  I’m so appreciative…

We awoke this morning to much cooler temperatures and overcast skies.  Not long after breakfast my husband declared that this would be a great day for he and the boys to muck out the goat and sheep barns, so out to work they went!!  Oh, it really was a good morning for this kind of…

I don’t plan anything major or extra on Monday so that I’m available to do things with my husband on his day off.  Monday is my “slow” day.  All I can think of tonight is that if this was my slow day, this is shaping up to be a very full week! We enjoyed a…

Our Saturdays are very full here.  I like them that way, though.  Staying busy all day and enjoying the fruits of our labors as things are finished makes for a pleasant day.  Aaron does all of the mowing on Saturdays, and it’s such a treat to hang clothes on the line while standing on the…

I finished up the apron I’ve been working on this morning.  I took a picture of Dani wearing it for those of you who asked to see it.  It is a belated birthday gift for a dear friend, but I gave her a sneak peek of t it last Sunday so I’m not ruining the…

We were a week late getting it started, but today was our first ever, weekly (Lord willing) library day at Grandma’s house.  I don’t know about Corin and the grandbabies, but this Grandma had a wonderful time! I started my day off by working quickly to get as much of my day’s work behind me…

Bad days.  Everyone has ‘em.  Lord willing they don’t happen often in your home.  I thought a lot about “bad days” today.  What constitutes a bad day for you?  How do you handle a bad day when it does happen?  What can you do to redeem a bad day?  Can you meet that bad day…

The Lord graciously granted me a good night’s sleep, and I woke up this morning feeling rested and well!  It’s a complete turn around from yesterday.  I am thankful!  After breakfast I was able to jump right into all of the daily morning tasks about my home.  Oh, it felt so good to be doing…

We had a wonderful Sunday.  For the second Sunday in a row our van refused to start for us; but my husband just rolled the van out of the garage onto the driveway (with all of us seated comfortably inside) and used the jumper cables from his car to get us started and on our way.  We…
