Orderly and clean....

One day at time and one room at a time heading towards better living where one can relax where the better routines are established and things run more smoothly. I want that perfect house nothing falling apart and perfectly clean. Perfect is not realistic though it can be work towards. As long as I except the imperfections I am able to move on and over look. One can be weighed down when you look at all the negative aspects and not move at all. That is where I once was... I am now choosing to look forward and to that which is good.

Routines must be in place and the right attitudes on board. Also be ready to fall or get behind because that is just going to be, so get ready and get back up. Back to the routines, back to the right attitude and back to those projects.

Learning from my failings of house trying to house keeping and establishing. We are getting back to our routines and back to our project and the days of BIG mess is history. Where I try and try but get know where. Everyday is a new day take comfort in that and join us as we move forward.

Get those routines together, get back to the projects and lets keep on trucking :)




Weeks house keeping map for now..... Sunday and Monday, working on bedrooms (one room at a time) Tuesday work on Living room, the bathroom and hallway. Wednesday and Thursday Kitchen and laundry. Friday wash sheets and blankets finish any rooms that still need working on and do a deep clean through out the house.

Lil Orphan Kitty






This kitty has kept us so very busy! It is like having a newborn baby in the house. Feeding every 2 to 3 hours. Then we seriously burp it and you must clean Kitty. We do this with a warm wipe to clean it to try and mimic the mommy. We hold it a bit to help the little kitty sleep then put it in the basket until next feeding or the kitty wakes up.




Here is Kitty with its big belly and one eye open. An eye opened at 8 days old. We now feed kitty evaporated goats milk. I have read you can feed this to newborn kitties and I have read you shouldn't. So if you wind up like us with a kitty that must be fed research and decide for yourself. I am going with goats milk to be light on its tummy. The little one didn't make a (pardon my french :)poop for 5 days. So switch from formula to goats milk. I also went to the pet store and bought a gel that helps with hairballs it is also suppose to help them go as well. It has a mixture of oils like mineral oil and has flavoring. So far it has helped. He is going...hurray!! Speaking of going...since this is a science project I must tell you all the icky details. In this lovely adventure we have learned while cleaning it you must clean around certain areas to help stimulate the kitty and make it go. They do not go on their own. Though they won't need help in that department for long...thank goodness!!




Here is kitty with both eyes opened. It was 11 days before both eyes completely opened. Next change we are waiting for is when its little ears pop up and it looks like a regular ole kitty :) This happens in about 2 weeks. We are almost there...can't wait for those ears to pop up :)



Speaking of kitties ears, my daughters noticed that when you feed the kittie its ears wiggle.... too funny :)

Jesus be Jesus in me.....Looking into my reflection what do I see, who is it that is staring back at me? Some where in there can I see Jesus face? Do I leave even a trace? Or do I insist to stand alone? Am I ignoring the one who sits on the throne? Can you see love? Flying above me is there a white dove? The finger of God reaches down and touches the still waters that brings about ripples of change. Patience.......Kindness......long-suffering.....slow to anger.....no recording of wrong.....no self seeking.....boasting and pride trickles away....against all evil.....rejoicing in truth....The finger of God comes down and touches the waters....protecting....trusting....preserving....Jesus be Jesus in me.....Love lift me again and again for the life of a friend

Lil Orphan kitty ~Our Science Project





We are learning about caring for an orphan kitty. First let me explain how little kitty became an orphan. Kitty's momma gave birth to 4 kittens at an elderly ladies house across the street from us. The momma is actually our outside kitty though it has two homes. Mommy kitty goes back and forth across the street. The elderly lady also feeds other cats in neighborhood. That comes to her house and sometimes lets them come in. Anyway Momma kitty had her kittens in my neighbors house. We noticed that momma kitty no longer had a big tummy so we went to see if she had them at our neighbors and sure enough she did. We saw all four of them a light gray kitten, dark gray, gray and white and a black one. All for were handled. We left and the next day she came to me and said she ate her kitten!! She said she saw one in her mouth and another disappeared. She didn't know if momma got the other or one of other cats. There were only two left one dark gray and one black. We didn't know what to do. I thought I would take one home and feed it and she feed the other. We didn't know what the best thing to do for it. I went and got kitten formula and bottles. I tried to feed them but they wouldn't eat. I was afraid they wouldn't eat and they would die. We decided to let kittens stay with Mom and my neighbor would keep a watch on them. The next day we find that the gray one was killed then was gone. So we was left with one. So I took it home and we have been caring for it since. I never heard of a situation like this but here we are...




So the kids science project is born :) We are Learning how much formula to give the kitten

Lil is needing 32 cc a day and is to be fed around six times a day.

Today my 10 year old will document how to care for a newborn kitten she will continue to help with caring for the kitten as well as my 14 year old daughter.

So far we have learned that mommy cats not only lick them to clean them but they too do this to stimulate them. Help them use the rest room. They do not go on their own at this age.

lil orphan kitty has been eating good out of the bottle. Though I am afraid that it may have been a bit over fed. lil is urinating fine though I have not seen a bowl movement so kind of concerned about that. Today we will go on a field trip to the pet shop to find something to help lil go. My 10 year old does not like when we talk of this subject but it is an important one. We learn the health of the kitty when we take note of these things. If not urinating this would mean she was dehydrated and not eating well. We know that our lil is eating enough and is strong. Tummy is rounded so may be bloated due to too much eating and no bowl movements.

Another thing we have learned is bottle fed kittens need to be burped after feedings as well! Much like a newborn baby.

Eyes open in about 7 days and ears stick up in about 2 weeks. We have had kittens before but never like this. So it is a big project and lots of new things to learn. My 14 year old is growing very fond of lil she does around two to three feedings and I do the rest another 3 to 4 feedings. She is thinking of names and even found a song for kitty. I think kitty is a girl looks that way now but when they get older sometime you realize you are wrong. So I am not saying for sure yet. Here is the song my daughter has dedicated to kitty....We have already grown very fond of kitty.




Thanks for stopping by RroadWeTravel here NR School house and checking out our science project....come again

On Evidences of Love Part 1 I gave 3 points of evidences of love that I had previously heard from a sermon. In part 1 I focused on the first point and/or question to ask yourself 1) Do you value God more then anything else. I could easily say yes but when I examine my actions I had to admit I wasn't leaving behind much evidence. I could really see how some things I showed more value to that time with my heavenly father. My task was to work on that. Some Christians recognize Lent...It is a time to put much focus on Christ and what he did for us on the cross. The definition of Love right there in Christ...ahhh there is evidence of love! Also this is a time to reflect on oneself and the sins in our lives a time to come back to Christ repent and come to the cross. To be moved by the love and grace of God a time to give up things like time of fasting and such in scripture. Anyway I have been spending more time in devotion to God during lent which I believe can bring about more evidences of love. One being Devotions for Lent from Holy Bible: Mosaic

Now we are to the second point and/or question 2)Do you love His people...What evidences of love am I showing to Gods people. One place to be surrounded by Gods people is in church. Yes it is a place full of sinners too...We need to be in church encouraging one another in the Lord in love. We need to be there for each other. We need to stop murmuring about one another. We need to stop dividing ourselves getting in our little groups. Reach out to all feed Gods people with love and compassion. Yes I know there are those who may need a good talking to but everything should be done with sensitivity and remember our own actions always speaks louder than our words. We should get more involved in the lives of others. Depending on our calling as well as other callings. Then there is uhmmm being there showing up. This is a first and for most for me and am not happy to admit. There was a time in my life that I wouldn't miss a day. With many different happening in my life that I won't get into right now, I have found myself out of church. So this is what I will be spending time in prayer about that God will lead my family to the church we are to be in at this time and keep us there. I can express my love to Him and his people in a church where his people gather as well as other places. Praying God opens my eyes and my heart, direct my steps and words that our spoken may they be spirit led.

Lord we pray that your love shine through us...Amen.

Thanks for stopping by RroadWeTravel please stop by again within the next month or so I will share my pondering on part 3 and may we ponder together.
