For Real Thursday

My friend Laura is always posting about her for real life on her blog.

This morning my pastor shared this quote on his facebook page:   
Dick Savidge of Ministry Coaching puts it: “When we share our resume, we invite comparison; when we share our vulnerability, we invite community.”

So here is my attempt at inviting community.

-  This is a current picture of my kitchen counter.

We still have to finish up school and Eliana has girl scouts tonight.  There is a good chance it will still look like this tomorrow evening.

-  This morning while Josiah and I were reading, Asher decided to brush his teeth.  We had to stop school to wash the toothpaste out of Asher's hair.  While bathing him, I realized I couldn't remember the last time I gave him a bath.

-  This is the first day this week we have done any book work.


-  I sent Jeremiah back to bed after he got up this morning.  He took a 2 hour nap and he isn't sick. 

-  The light bulb in my laundry room went out this morning.  Since it is pitch dark in that room and I can't change the light bulb without a ladder, I decided I didn't need to do any laundry today.  Even though both kids hampers are over flowing with dirty clothes.

So that is a look into  my day.  What are your for real moments today?
