Daybook...First Edition

FOR TODAY...

Outside my window...it is still dark, and hot and muggy if I had to guess.

I am thinking...about all that I would like to accomplish before our baby arrives in early November.

I am thankful for...Confession, Mass, and Adoration yesterday.

From the learning rooms...getting into a groove. There is still tweaking to be done to the routine to make it work for all of us. I feel certain that we'll get all settled into something great just before it's all thrown off kilter with a new little one.

From the kitchen...oatmeal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, chicken something or other for dinner.

I am wearing...still in pjs.

I am creating...lots of lists, an Alphabet of Catholic Saints, and plans for upcoming feast days.

I am going...to stay in the present moment as best I can with all the planning and list making that's going on.

I am reading...Making Senses out of Scripture by Mark Shea for our history program. It is excellent.

I am hoping...that today will be better than yesterday. My oldest seems to have a hard time getting into the school groove on Mondays. Tuesdays always seem to be much better.

I am hearing...absolutely nothing, and it's a joyous sound.

I am praying...for a friend who will deliver our godchild soon, for my son's first Holy Communion next spring, for many special intentions.

Around the house...always lots to be done! Today I will mop the kitchen. No, really, I will.

One of my favorite things...quiet mornings before my littles are awake.

A few plans for the rest of the week:

• Our first homeschool co-op gathering on Friday.

• Company for dinner on Saturday evening...we're celebrating the Queenship of Mary with a special cake, and we need friends to help us eat it!


• Possibly company for Friday night as well to finish off our "B Week".

Here is picture thought I am sharing...
