On most days, if you walk into my home, you'll see many things:
half drank sippy cups (probably leaking on the couch or carpet..)
diapers (yes, maybe a wet one...)
dishes in the sink
PJ's on the bathroom floor
scum on the tub
clean laundry on the floor in the laundry room
half put together puzzels
books scattered around a bookshelf
the list could go on and on..
Cleaning has never been my thing. Ask my parents. When i was a teenager my dad taped my room off with "caution do not enter" signs because i refused to clean it. To this day, my house is "tidy", my kids wash there hands and brush their teeth, they wear clean clothes, but i'm a pretty crummy house cleaner!
So when i say i'm the keeper of my home, i mean something else.
Because i suck at writing here in a nutshell is what i mean, using my every famous bullet points!
- I read every book that glances across my children's eyes
- I watch movies and read about movies before my children watch them
- I keep track of what Jason watches on TV and insist on honesty to keep our relationship pure
- i don't watch rated R movies--not because they aren't good, but normally they have nothing beneficial for my life.
- I check Jason's XXX church reports religiously. If there are any questionable websites that come up, I'm on him!
- I look through his "history" on his computer at least twice a week to see what he's been doing on the internet through the day and evening.
- I am protective on who Jason meets with alone
I protect the heart of my home
So when i say i'm the keeper of my home. Please don't expect to come over and see a clean, spotless house. But rather a place that is seen as a place of worship and security for those that live there. A place where i want my kids to know without a doubt that i love and adore them. I will do anything to protect them and their little minds.
I will do anything and go any distance to protect our marriage. I will constantly ask Jason to put his electronics away, even if all i want to talk to him about is our dinner menu for the week. I demand a heart to heart connection with my husband.
