Fiddle Di Di

Good morning! What a beautiful day to spend with our Lord! (despite the fog).

All I can say about the dishes is Fiddle Di Di! My wanna be a southern belle, Scarlett O’Hara side is out in full force….trying to get Prissy to do the dishes. And, I can hear Prissy saying “I dunno know about birthin’ no babies, or doin’ no dishes, Miss Scarlett!” Good Grief! BIG HELP SHE IS! Technically I am not birthing a baby, just trying to do dishes. But, figuratively, in light of transformation, I guess I am (actually, God is) birthing a baby here…..A new me. Scary thought……exciting thought. Anyway, I may be doing something tonight, so I will think about the dishes on Saturday. AFTER the DMV!

I have already done my Bible reading for today. And, I will rewrite my list today. And, if I have time, I will get stamps and garbage bags today. If I am home tonight, Scarlett and I will have a little chat about those dishes………………….Even southern belles sometimes have to do dishes. Especially during Civil Wars (or internal Civil Wars)!

  1. Fiddle di di my foot! :) Get in that kitchen, set your timer for 15 minutes and WASH!!!! When the timer goes off STOP!!!! Set the timer again and either do something else, or take a little break. When the timer goes off again, finish the little bit or a lot that you started by rinsing drying and putting away. When the timer goes off STOP!!!! Then relish in what you accomplished in those few minutes! Let me know how it goes…

  2. THE PRIMA DONNA SOUTHERN BELLE HAS MADE AN EXIT……………STAGE LEFT. The whole point of trying to be accountable and get things done was to get rid of her. There are more dishes to be done and a lot more cleaning to do……..But, no one is going to do it for me. Rome was not built in a day and this mess did not appear in a day. And somehow I will get it taken care of. It will take a while probably but I will I want to get it done. I honestly believe that God even has purposes for me in this.

    God bless

  3. Good call, Jeannie. Try the method out that Cheryl suggested. You can do just about anything for 15 mintues.

    By setting the boundary on it up front, it helps you not become overwhelmed with the unknown of how long it will take to clean up the entire area.
