Tackle it Tuesday updated

Today I am tackling the huge job of just getting through the day with a million things I have to do at home and not being there.
I am spending my day with the baby again today. Yesterday we learned our ABC and that V is for Villarreal!
I'll be writing more later but for now I am off to babysit.
I was not sure if I would make it back to finish my post.
Here's my Tackle it Tuesday project for today.
Organizing my life and schedule. This week I have to keep the baby Mon,Tues,and Thurs.
My husband is working this week all week at a TYC boys facility only a few minutes from our house. But the deli ma is we are down to one vehicle. Great timing!
So I am tackling schedules and trying to get everything organized and running smoothly.
Have a Blessed Day

. . . Finish my aprons for the swap

. . . Give my blog a makeover (did you notice it still says Spring!)

. . . Finish organizing my kitchen

I have a million other things to do but I know it will be a major quest to complete these tasks along with all the other regular daily things to do.

But these are the things I have already done this moring.

. . . Fed the horses

. . . Cleaned the pasture

. . . Re-painted one coat on two of the porch rockers

. . . Read my favorite blogs Kelli at theresnoplacelikehome.blogspot and my absolutely newest favorite Home Sanctuary. (sorry I haven't added her to my side bar but that is part of the makeover

Oh one more thing on my list of things to do today!

. . . Work on my Bible verse. Here it is

Psalm 36:5-7

Your love O Lord reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skys.
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your justicelike the great deep.
Oh Lord, you preserve both man and best.

Psalm 36:5-7

Tackle it Tuesday

Over at 5 minutes for mom they have this fun thing called Tackle it Tuesday.
Everyone chooses a job they need to handle and work on it tackling it and I am hope full I'll get it done!

This is what our truck looks like when we leave the Food Bank. Each week we have to take all this and sort it out then, inventory, and sack it up to distribute to teenagers that are on parole in our area.



Today my project is to write a grant to the Food Bank. They are offering $5,000.00 in 5 different categories to agencies like us. I have been directed by my contact that we fall into two different categories and to write two different grant requests. This is a huge opportunity for us. Each month we spend approximately $500.00 for this project alone.

Currently we provide food for 20 families each week. This grant would allow us to increase that amount. Currently there are almost 200 kids on parole in our area. One of the categories for the grant is for agencies that have unique programs. No other agency specifically targets teenagers. So we feel pretty good about this opportunity. Since this program started in Jan. we have already met 3 different teens that were homeless.

So with God's help I am tackling this Tuesday task and I am praying that God will supply all our needs to meet the needs of our kids.

Have a Great day tackling your Tuesday projects!

The Porch Project & Giveway Tues.edition

The "Welcome" mat is out. Please come by this week and visit my porch project.
I need your ideas to tidy up and beautify this eye sore! Every day this week I will be posting another photo of the porch and also some photo's of lovely porchs and gardens that I wish were mine!

This week will end Sunday with a fun give a way. So please stop in and leave me a comment or a suggestion and link back especially if you have a lovely porce or garden area. Maybe I can just look at yours and wish it was mine too!

Here is one more shot of the porch the way it is now.

I always keep a rug by the porch but you will see that it is usually not flat and smooth. That is because our porch faces the north and it is always, always windy. In fact many times the glass door has almost been taken off the hinges.
To the right of the door is a decorative stepping stone. One of three that I would like to incorporate. They are all bunnies. (read through my archives and check out my Easter post and you'll see why!) Originally they were in really pretty flower beds in a previous home. (I'll have to post some photo's so you can see I can have pretty beds.)

I hope everyone enjoys there day and oh BTW way this is my Tackle it Tuesday project too. I am working on the beds. I'll post more later.

Tackling Tuesday

Today I tried to tackle some things that needed to be done. At the top of the list was cleaning the kitchen which I didn't do yesterday. I had gone to Austin over the weekend and realized that everytime I go there I come back with a cold or allergies or something. I spent most of yesterday laying around and getting nothing accomplished except drinking water and juice. This crud started Sunday on the drive home with a sore throat, then proceeds to a cold and now it is a cough. I seem to get this twice a year. Once in the spring. Once in the fall. I don't really know if the weekend in Austin had anything to do with it or not.

Today I am feeling better but didn't get much more than the kitchen clean before I cooked supper and made another mess which will have to wait now till tomorrow night.
It is a never ending battle.

I won't be posting tomorrow because we have to do the food pantry and then we are taking 5 girls from the halfway house to a Rangers game. They will have fun. I will watch them have fun and hope that it doesn't rain. Which it usually does if I go to a game.
If I don't get to post before we leave to go to the game please run over and visit Amy at the160acreawoods.wordpress.com and see her wonderful Wordfilled Wednesday.
Have a great day tomorrow.
