•Work out
•Enjoy morning inspiration on BET
•Go to Church
•Cook my favorite dish: Mac n Cheese (I make a pretty mean dish)
•Prepare for my week, which usually means packing for a plane flight
•Take out the garbage: first the heavy yard bags filled with weeds and grass, then the Glad Tall Kitchen Garbage Bags, the Blue recyclable bags, and finally the paper recyclable bags.
Sundays are also pretty standard for my neighbors. As I take out my garbage on Sundays, I watch all of my neighbors doing the same thing. The only difference is, all of my neighbors are “husbands” taking out the garbage. It’s too interesting! Me in my heels taking FOREVER, and the husbands taking two minutes!
I am traveling for a while, so at the suggestion of a FB friend, I am going to pour Ammonia all around the base of my house. It has become pretty creepy of late to come home to a quiet home – filled with all kinds of “strangers” that I am afraid to kill. Mainly: spiders, centipedes and water bugs. EWWW!!! When my daughter lived with me, she killed them. She said, “Mom what are you going to do when I am not here?”
As of last night, I still hadn’t figured that out.
I finally sprayed a centipede last week. However, the little bugger is still sitting on the floor because I am afraid to pick it up. One of my FB friends said he understands my situation, because he always has to kill bugs for his “wife”. How nice to have a husband to kill bugs for you!
Another thing I have to do before I travel is replace the outside flood lights. They tend to burn out pretty quickly, as they are on all of the time. So, I climbed up my ladder and replaced those two lamps as well. It looks like my landscaper didn’t show up as promised. So of course, the yard work will await me too (I actually enjoying pulling weeds, planting and putting down mulch).
Now this work is after doing laundry, cleaning the house, running errands, taking my mother around, working, singing in the studio, volunteering, mentoring, praying and interceding for others, warring in the spirit for myself, etc. I could go on and on… I lead a pretty full life. And I am truly grateful that I have the energy to do this every week.
For some reason though, today I am tired. I know, I am a Christian so I shouldn’t complain. I am not complaining, but I am just being honest. I am TIRED, and I wish I had a husband who could go pour this doggone Ammonia around the house this morning so I could put on my cute workout gear and do some aerobics and start my day. And then later my husband could play some nice music, and we could rub each others feet and just enjoy the love we have for one another.
No deal this morning…
And no deal tomorrow…
… but I have faith that it WILL happen one day. And it will be the RIGHT husband. One who loves me with the love outlined in 1 Corinthians 13.
In the meantime, the Lord took me to His word and he said, “Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”
Yes, this is my friendly, loving Lord reminding me yet again – Call unto me… my yoke is easy and my burden is light. (Matt 11:28-30)

So I have an hour to get everything in, without a man’s help. And I am going to do just that – call unto Him this morning. I don’t have time to fret about being single; I only have time to wait for him to arrive. And be grateful that I am alive, I am healthy, I am blessed and I am able to get up.
And YOU are blessed as well. You are blessed as a single to get a lot of things done. So be of good cheer! It is no mistake that you are single, and you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you (Phil 4:13). Now do like I am about to do --- GET UP, and have a wonderful week!
GET UP I say!!!
Now where is a tissue so I can pick up this centipede? I will need a big ball of tissue for sure, but I am about to DO THIS!
