Fireman's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God,
Whenever flames may rage;
Give me strength to save some life,
Whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child
Before it is too late
Or save an older person
From the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert
And hear the weakest shout,
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling
And to give the best in me
To guard my every neighbor
And protect his property.

And if, according to my fate,
I am to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting
My children and my wife.

Organizing

My house is very old and does not have storage. I am always looking for organizing solutions b/c I am not very good at it especially since I don't have the closets or cupboards to put things in. If anyone has some good tips, please feel free to comment and fill me in on how to get organized!

the main thig that I can think of right now is to get rid of anything & everything your not using or wont use... then it will be easier to organize what your keeping ;)

I agree with Tammy!
Another fun thing I do is play a game with my children call M & M Game. (Minimum Maintenance). If I think a room is getting out of order we set a timer for 5 minutes and see how clean we can get it in that amount of time. Then I reward them with an M&M (if it's Friday) or a raisin or other fruit. This game works best if there is a place for everything and the children are learning everythings place. If storage space is limited, baskets on shelves work nicely.
