I am thinking…about a lot of things. Thinking about an old (September) Zenit article on internet pedophilia networks that really has me disturbed; about my friend Cindy and how I really need to talk to her soon and see how she is holding up...mid-April seems so far away; about school (I'm again feeling like I'm not covering all the bases with my kids and that they aren't learning what they need to); about Easter clothing and spring cleaning and upcoming birthdays and various projects that I have in mind, but no time to do.
I am thankful for…those simple things like: my family, a dry, warm house, a full pantry, a milk cow, relatively good health, coffee, good priests and good friends. I am glad for a break in the seemingly endless colds of this winter, and for Gemma's rash being much, much better.
From the kitchen...sausage and eggs, if Bret is game...
I am creating…a sweater for my niece, due in March. I finished a cotton hat for Gemma, but alas, it turned out too small and unlike wool, it can't be blocked to size! I did find a couple of skeins of cashmere/silk blend on eBay at an excellent price, so Gemma will have something pretty and woolen after all!
I am reading ... nothing but my daily scripture reading. Between the new schedule I am trying to stick to and a little bit of knitting, I have no time to read.
I am hoping...to have a good and productive week with the kids and to find extra ways to make sacrifices. I want to "do Lent well"...
I am hearing…A lot of arguing over Megablocks and weird sound effects (boys do a lot of that, don't they?).
A few plans for the rest of the week: Library today. Hopefully a trip to the thrift stores to look for some items for the boys. Waiting for our heifer's calf to be born any day now...
I am praying... for my friends and family amidst all their challenges. And for myself, that I make every effort to find God's love and beauty in a world that seems so dark and perverse at times. Thank God spring is getting closer!
A Picture Thought: I wonder how many photos I have of Dominic passed out somewhere with Pooh. It will make an interesting post one day...
Visit Peggy's Simple Woman's Daybook for more daybook entries, and have a good week!
