IT'S A FULL HOUSE!: Daybook

Outside my window: Sunny, lots and lots of sunshine. It is the perfect weather for Baby T’s baptism and reception.

I am listening to: Friends and family talking, laughing and enjoying each others company.

I am reading: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie and All Together in One Place by Jane Kirkpatrick

I am pondering: Mt 28:19, Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

I am wearing: A baby-doll dress with a black cardigan sweater over it.

In my kitchen: We are bar-b-q 18 hotdogs and 36 hamburgers, potato salad, macaroni salad, pasta salads, coleslaw, and potato chips.

I am creating: nothing at this time, I am too busy for my own good.

I am thankful for: Friends, family and loved ones.

In my garden: Plan on planting flowers next weekend in pots with the kids.

A Round the House: I never found the time to go through the boxes liked I had hoped on doing. They are still stacked high in our bedroom. Hubby cleaned all the carpets and he did a lot of yard work this week.

On Keeping House: Thoroughly cleaned the main part house for the reception after Baby T’s baptism. Still need to clean bedrooms and down size kids stuff.

Plans for the New Week: Yes, a nice slow week in the works!
Monday- recuperate from our busy weekend; upload Captain’s assignments, Karate
Tuesday- Baseball game if we don’t get rained out.
Wednesday- We plan to start the new school year and Karate
Thursday- School, baseball
Friday-School

Hoping and praying: For the best concerning Bookworm and her future. At this time we simply don’t know what road she will be traveling on or what her future holds. It is very difficult to live day by day not knowing if she will remain here with us or if she will be returned to state care because her biological mother “thinks” she wants her back.

Living the Liturgy: Celebrating the month of Mary

Rhyme and Beauty: Seeking stillness, internally and externally. This will always be a struggle for us as chaos seems to surround our family.

Living Education: Box day came and we are gearing up for the new school year to begin. I have lots to do to get ready like printing up pages for our note booking, photo-copying items, and gathering items for our geography scrapbooks. Oh, I can’t forget that I am still pulling our schedule together too.
