Daybook

I have found a great format to make myself blog more. Yay for fill in the blank formats!



Outside My Window...
The sun is shining and the sky is clear, not one cloud!



I am thankful for...
a decent nights sleep



I am thinking...
about all that needs to be done around the home and all that I want to do around the home



From the kitchen...
Another meal has been brought to us by yet another wonderful family. We have been so blessed by all of the meals that various friends and family have shared with us. I did not truly appreciate this awesome ministry of mothering until this time of need in our lives. I received some meals when the twins were born and also when Mary Clare came home but this time I am even more thankful, I think because our need has been so great recently.



From the schoolroom...
We are in workbook school for now. It is fine, surely not ideal, but sufficient for the time being.


I am wearing...
khaki pants and a pink sweater



I am creating...
um, this blog? does that count?



I am going...
to nurse Sara in a few minutes


I am reading...
Graced and Gifted by Kimberly Hahn. This is a perfect new year's read for me. I am also reading other various mystery novels.



I am hoping...
our old heating system survives this severe cold front



I am hearing...
Lee's muffled voice as he makes his umpteenth phone call today and also intermittent shrieks and screams coming from the direction of the trampoline in the backyard



I am praying for...
Marcia an amazing and gentle homeschooling mom and her family



Observing the Liturgical Calendar...
We are now in Ordinary Time. I have really slipped on our liturgical celebrations in the home. Maybe we can do something for Candlemas, Feb 2



One of my favorite things...
a warm, content baby resting on my chest



Around the house...
several Christmas decorations still hanging around, laundry in the washer and dryer too many dishes in the sink



A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...
Lee's birthday's on Saturday, we will have some Mexican food and I will pull out the blender for some celebratory margaritas. Jake has altar server refresher training (much needed sadly)


Here is picture I am sharing:
