Week

Tired. Need to unwind. Late before work and I’ve planned and cleared my desk.
Thoughts of the busy, crazy wonderful week.
Applying time management techniques…finally.
Trying to cook. Not successful.
Crazy hosting. 4 adults, 5 kids under 6, tired, stressed, sick husband; but depth with good friends.
Made lovely creamy chicken soup with broccoli and mushrooms (so… I actually did cook).
Watched Mama Mia on an alone night, again.
Pondered academics and all that craziness. More admiration for my Dad.
Laundry piles stressful and diminishing.
Looking forward to Mom coming.
Mesmorized by the Lion King.
Had lovely date with Wayne at Crush.
Took kids swimming. Horses got spa treatment. Pool cold.
Maiden voyage to Trader Joe’s, Laura screamed the whole time. Less fun.
Sara loving Johanna playdates.
Wayne and I switching work intensity.
Kids flourishing in my stress. They’re so cute and such a joy!
Teaching Sara to sound out words.
Talking to Laura about colors.
Reading Goldilocks alot.
Rain, wind, cold, and snow…March madness.
Bought beds for girls. Big triumph of week. Ikea and independent store combo. Mostly a triumph of marital relations. Wayne and I work together well. Even with kids climbing on everything in stores.
Church intense. Facing death of a member. Sadness. Choosing joy over fear. God is an awesome God!
Sara asked me to sing songs in bed. I sang worship songs while Laura slipped off to sleep. Sara sang with me. My heart soared.
No hot chocolate for Lent. Wayne avoided wine flight be missed promise of no alcohol for Lent. I haven’t read as many Psalms as I’d like, but I’m reading more Bible stories to kids.
first time to church in 3 weeks.
Crazy, lovely week. Glad for a new one with the promise of some rest.
