Daybook for Sept. 3, 2012:  Boy's Birthday


outside my window …  gray, overcast sky; heavy, sticky air

around the house … house is a mess, clothes still scattered everywhere, walls ready to be painted

from the kitchen … buckeyes for Asher's birthday, bread dough thawing for a pizza roll


I am playing … too tired to play

I am reading … The Color of Tea by Hannah Tunnicliffe.  Not quite invested yet.

I am pondering … the idea of what it means to "stand back" and let God move according to His will

I am praying …for strength to keep going, for renewal, for kids' friendships

I am grateful … for the generosity of my children who give beyond their years, for a nine-year old son who loves me unconditionally, for a daughter who is cuddlicious

learning together …tomorrow is our first official day of the new school year.  I don't feel ready, willing or able.

stewarding my health … trying to gear up for a no sugar, gluten or dairy lifestyle


one of my favorite things ... my boy
