Editing

So since I'm going to try and make blogger a more permanent part of my life, I'm going to attempt to make it a nicer and prettier place to be. This may take a while because I am in no way a design wiz and I have no intention of paying anyone to do it for me. So bear with me, because it will probably take a while!

Anyway, since I am in the "editing" mood, I thought I would discuss a few other areas in my life I am trying to clean up as well.

I am trying to re-adjust the Fenon family schedule around here. My husband works second shift and doesn't usually get home until at least one AM. Sometimes he won't come home until three or four if he works a few hours of overtime. And I hate falling asleep without knowing he's home safe. My worry for him mixed with my natural habit of being a night owl = disaster. For my sleep schedule at least. I can stay up until two or three and not even let it phase me. At least not until morning. Did I mention I am not a morning person? Cause I'm not. At all. Not in the slightest. And I have two kids under two my friend. Not a good combination. I have gotten into the nasty habit of putting my kids to bed later and later so that they will sleep longer in the morning for my husband and I, and I feel so guilty. You know you have a problem when you and your 22 month old are up til almost 3 Am watching a Disney movie. (Although to be fair, he was asleep but woke up when Daddy came home, so I let him cuddle for a little.) Anyway point is, I am letting my horrid sleeping habits master me and my family. And I am hoping to change this as quickly as possible!

Also, I shudder to think of all the nasty things my family is eating in an effort to be more economical. We are in the process of saving up for a house, and my husband just recently got a new job and we are still trying to get in the swing of things. I would very much like to study the pros and cons of eating organically. I know it is healthier for you and has less pesticides and all that, but I haven't read up on it enough to make the switch just yet. I've heard from a surprising amount of people though that some of the products labeled "organic" aren't really any better for you at all. You just pay more for them. So we shall see what we happens in the end. Once we get our own house, wouldn't it be wonderful to start a garden?

The Lord has also been laying a lot of things on my heart lately about the company I keep and the things I let influence my heart and mind. I'll save the details for a later post, but I am thinking of making some pretty serious changes in the coming weeks. I have a not-so-small problem with control and always having to be in it, so hopefully I can learn the easy way about letting the Lord take the lead and humbly following after Him. I'm a work in progress. Did I mention that either?

Anyway, I know this blogging thing is sort of new for me, so I hope those of you who are following or those of you who read this from time to time kindly give me some growing room. I have a lot of things I want to share in the next few weeks and I hope you will stick with me and maybe even help me sort it out! I am being open and honest in the hopes that you will not judge me, but rather maybe share some tips so that I can get myself on the right track. The Lord is doing a mighty work in me, and that will hopefully continue for as long as I live. I don't ever want God to stop molding and shaping me to be more like Him. So like I said stick with me! I have much editing left to do!
