At least that's what we used to call it, calling early to get the kids up and read from the scriptures and make goals, written down, for each day, to complete.
Nowadays we are using less formality and Chris and I are 'cooking up' projects each day to conquer the house and yard which is immense for our style of accomplishing. We aren't good for each other.
During breaks I read and keep coming up with new projects, he disappears back to his room. Like today I was reading a 'get organized blog' and it had listed; "Clean Garage Doors". Boy I added that quick to my master list for Chris, things like that aren't even on my radar 'blips'.
Then it had itemized other projects like; West Garage Wall. Dang. I have one of those too. It said to put large objects there. I haven't room for anything else to go there! And someone already spilled about 20 lbs. of the Duck Feed there, all over the ground, and I really don't want to move all those boxes and containers to clean it up, but.. I guess that's why I have Chris.
Now, how, can I reach and touch his Motivational DNA to want to do that? ( I'm not paying him!) The reason I'm 'project-ing' him to death is so he will want to get a Real Job that will pay!!
Summer it is a Wonder; fleeting away filled with happy memories of hopefully more that heat and work projects.
