A very late Daybook this week.
Outside my window: Sunny with a high of 42*
I am listening to: A very fussy Firecracker with a tooth ache and a mouth ulcer. It’s the worst thing to have a hurting child whom you can’t comfort.
I am reading: Lots of Advent and Christmas stories to the children.
I am pondering: What plans God has for the crosses he has given me. If only he would send me a text message or an email.
I am wearing: My snoopy pajama pants, black tee with a zip-up sweatshirt.
In my kitchen: Pesto pasta for lunch and Mexican pulled pork tacos for dinner.
I am creating: We are working on the kids gingerbread houses. This is such a fun family tradition. Not much going on with the Holiday baking yet, but did pick up a few baking items last night from Safeway.
I am thankful for: Being able to talk on the phone with my oldest daughter without interruptions. I am missing her even more with the holidays just around the corner.
In my garden: Compost and a few chickens looking for a yummy snack.
A Round the House: Seeing all the house work that needs to be done and trying to get the Christmas decorations up by this weekend. This certainly is not an easy task with eleven people at home full time.
Plans for the New Week: We are on half days with schooling now and I am grateful for this change of schedule. It’s so nice not to have the added pressure of school during this Holy season.
Hoping and praying: For patience’s and lots of it. To have the ability to parent and love a child who doesn’t want to be parented without judgment or any expectations for such love to be returned.
Living the Liturgy: Working on keeping this Advent season Christ centered in a very materialistic world.
I am listing on my ipod: Pandora Radio on the Christmas station.
Rhyme and Beauty: Enjoying the quietness that comes with the winter months. We are still very busy with dance and youth group, however; our week is not filled with daily trips to town anymore.
Living Education: Working on the Advent lap-books and enjoying lots of Advent and Christmas books.
I am thinking: Yeah, I am still doing way too much of this. I am trying to be more prayerful and doing less thinking and worrying.
One of my favorite things: Waking up most mornings to baby Tay’s beautiful smile! I am so blessed to have my daughter living at home.
