First there was a battle of wills with the 18 year old. Of course, a day later she was fine. I was tense and a bit upset, but she was bouncy and acted like she had no clue that we'd even had a difference of opinion.
Then there was helping my sister move. My home mission field took me out of my home for a couple days. In fact, I think I spent more time in my mini-van than in my home. However, mission accomplished. My sister is moved into her new house.
Then there was the yard sales. It is a lot of work to hold a yard sale. Didn't seem worth the 10 bucks I made. In fact, I think I spent that in gas driving around to other people's yard sales. However, I priced things to get rid of them, not to retire. Again, Mission accomplished. The things that didn't sell are being given to charity. Cleaned out my basement a bit of baby clothes. Plus, while I didn't find all that I wanted, I did find a few books to use for homeschool. They were mostly stories, but Laura and I will read them eventually.
My Home Mission Field hasn't changed. My home may have been neglected for a couple days. Homeschooling stopped. Laundry didn't get washed. My husband stepped up and babysat the toddler. However, God graced us anyway with His love. My 18 year old and I shopped the yard sales together and got through another mother/daughter tense time. The laundry is slowly being caught up. We are refreshed and ready for another week of homeschooling. My mission field awaits.
