A Girls Best Friend

Carrie and I have found on more than one occasion that some of our best work (cleaning or cooking) is accomplished while we are on the phone with one anther. The kids are at school or have gone to bed (I may be up late because I have to work the next day) and laundry needs to be folded or the dishes need to be put away, or we need to make dinners or birthday cakes etc. BUT we've been working or cleaning or cooking or running after others all day and we are less than inspired.
Sometimes the best inspiration is a sister or best friend. Once on the phone we encourage one another to finish our tasks and at the same time entertain one another through the process with stories from the previous few days. Before we know it we're laughing and catching up and the laundry or dishes have practically done themselves.
Next time you find yourself staring down a pile of work and feeling less than inspired...grab your phone and get to gabbing! Before you know it the work will be done :-)
