Don’t forget to stop by Peggy’s for all the links entered in this week’sSimple Woman’s Daybook.
Outside my window. . . a little gray and cloudy which matches my mood unfortunately.
I am thinking. . . about how to regain my peace. I have been feeling overwhelmed lately and am reduced to tears rather easily. We just “celebrated” my daughter, Mary’s fifth birthday (September 10) in heaven. I thought that I had dealt with it very well this year but I think that it has gotten to me more than I’d like to admit. Everything seems like a struggle right now.
From the schoolroom. . . Today the children are making their projects for the Long Island Fair that begins later this week. Our submissions are due tomorrow. It just sort of crept up on us this year but they are doing a beautiful job. I’ll post their submissions later in the week.
I am thankful for. . . Peter’s napping!!!
From the kitchen. . .boneless chicken thighs that didn’t make it in the crock-pot so I am going to just wing it, in addition to leftovers from the weekend.
I am creating. . .
I am going. . . no place. Lenny is off to soccer training but he has a ride so I don’t have to go out. Yeah!!!
I am wearing. . . a flowery pink skirt and a pink sort of peasant blouse, both of which are too big due to losing weight. Another yeah!!! I am also wearing sneakers in order to nurse a bum leg. I am quite an odd sight!!!
I am reading. . . Divine Intimacy by Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen. Just love it!!!
I am hoping. . . to break out of my funk!!!
I am hearing. . . Hope and Lily listening to a book on tape as they sew.
Around the house. . . I am happy to report that things are mostly in good order because I had a Creative Memories party on Saturday night and we cleaned for it. Now I am concentrating on keeping it picked up.
One of my favorite things. . .walking. Never thought I’d say that but I love my morning walk. About a week and a half ago I injured my leg and have been struggling to balance healing and my desire to walk. Prayers would be appreciated!!!
A few plans for the rest of the week. . . organization, less activity, more sleep, more holy silence (“Be still and know that I am God”- Psalms 46:10).
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you. . .
This is Peter at his first soccer clinic. He wasn’t too thrilled and mostly just sat on his soccer ball crying. But isn’t he cute?
