Just a BlinkProof Time Flies

Proverbs 31: 15

she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls

The above photo is a look into my command center for food provisions.

Here is what it all is:

1. Breakfast/lunch picture menu for the kids

2. Weekly dinner menu planned from Our Family Meals cookbook

3. Nightly requirements for dinner menu recipes so remember what meat to thaw

4. Pen cup

5. Is there any bad place for a monogram, now really?

6. Running grocery list

Next, bring on the servant girls! Okay, so maybe not within my budget.

In the mean time, I thought I’d start making my husband’s lunch for work. Here are some of the provisions for my “worker”. The entire bottom portion of the kitchen freezer is dedicated to Pete’s meals.

I labeled leftover servings of dinner meals with masking tape. You may have a better memory than I, but I strongly recommend labeling, (even if its just Sharpie on the container.)

Otherwise, you will spend way too much time wondering what the mystery meat is/was/suppose to be, and just sit on the ground in front of the freezer trying to sniff a frozen chunk of something with red sauce long enough to see the leftover Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies behind the 1/2 bag of corn niblets.

Not that I’ve experienced this.

Love,

Proverbs 31: 15
She gets up while it is still dark;

Some folks are naturally night owls, while others arise cheerily with the dawn. My energy peeks around mid-morning. Getting up while it’s still dark does not “do it” for everyone. How about you? When is your prime time?

I need sleep. My goodness, if I was up for the day at 4:55 a.m. I’d be ready for bed by 4:55 p.m. For real, passed out by dinner. So, during this time of baby raising and 5 a.m. feedings (if not 4:30 a.m.) I’m choosing to sleep.

I may not see the sunrise. But, I do see the point of this verse.

Be ready to serve, reflect, prepare or whatever it is that is needed to get your daily priorities straight…at anytime. Let nothing come between you and your purpose.

It is my priority to sleep until daybreak, or rather, go back to sleep after I have already been up feeding babies in the dark. (Which, among other things is my purpose these days.)

Until, another time Dark, until another time.

Love,

Jess

About Us page update

Check out my new and improved Welcome to Just a Blink page, formerly known as About Us. Click the Welcome to Just a Blink button in the navigation bar.

Composing a clear vision for Just a Blink was a treat and a challenge to write. I hope my new sense of direction will unify my posts and create a much homier blog home.

Over the next few months I intend to give Just a Blink a touch of a make over. I am working on getting the cake baked and I’ll turn it over to the skilled designers for the icing. I can’t wait! I am hoping to have the whole blog ship shape for my 2 year blogging anniversary coming up in May.

Thanks,

Jess

Right, I know I am not supposed to love things. But, I do.

Well, at least I like them a whole bunch. Here are few things that fit the bill.

Happy Valentine’s Day Just a Blink readers! I *heart* you and your visits to my blog.

Love,
Jess
