Reality check check-list

Beautiful view this morning as fog spilled across Bower's mountain:

I wish Mary could have taken pictures of it for me, these just don't do it justice!

So, I'm sure you'll get a kick out of this, especially if you read my last post first. This is how my to do list went into action!

Monday's to do list:

• pack Joe's lunch, get him off to work
• listen to the radio program on whcffm
• go upstairs to make the bed
• wake up suddenly, make the bed
• look over sour kraut recipe
• realize you don't know where one special, significant food processor piece went
• start "shredding" cabbage with a knife instead (25+ lbs)
• look out window and see a pig on the front yard
• spend 1/2 hr chasing pig back into fence
• check all water buckets, refill cow trough 
• continue shedding more cabbage
• get a phone call from Gramps and pick up two roosters someone graciously donated
• set roosters up in a wire cage on the grass
• find another cage to put a rooster in who doesn't seem to play well with others
• go back in house after being gone less than 15 minutes, clean up trash can mess from the puppy
• shred cabbage
• finally, get ready for next sour kraut step
• see pig back in front yard
• spend 45 minutes chasing pig all the way around the whole pasture fence
• get close to getting pig back in
• good ol' dog Jeb, tried to help
• chase pig some more
• get pig back in fence, pile big rocks under the gate
• realize you've forgotten all about laundry, and start a load
• finish sour kraut
• clean off shelves for canned goods in cellar
• start stew and hope carrots cook fast enough
• wash all the dishes
• get things together for card making night at the church you almost forgot about
• switch laundry around
• notice you don't see any pigs, and almost bet to get a phone call from the neighbors
• start ATV and drive down to the lower pasture
• pigs come running, on their side of the fence, thankfully
• driving back to the house, laugh to yourself as you see all the apples, still on the tree
• bake cookies for card night, leave some for Joe and head out

Someone asked me recently, "But, what do you do with your extra time?" and I'm sure she is reading this lol.
Sometimes I forget how easy it is for things to "fall apart" but I'm learning that a lot of frustration can be minimized and even eliminated by having the right attitude towards life in general.Or, by loading your gun the next time pigs get out:-) Jesus didn't get all bent out of shape when His mother asked Him to do something that wasn't yet on His agenda (John 2:1-11) and all through His ministry He was approached by people, constantly, who wanted and needed His help, attention, healing.

Hope you day goes well. I don't dare voice what I'd like to accomplish today lol. Blessings!
