Daybook Entry for Monday, May 4, 2009

DAYBOOK ENTRY FOR MONDAY, MAY 4, 2009…

Outside my window… It is now dark. It’s been a sunny, warm, and beautiful day. Now it’s quiet and starting to get a little cloudy, with some late-night thunderstorms expected. It would be a nice night for a walk, but I’m here on my computer with you!

I am thinking… About how God orchestrates events and circumstances so differently that we would, but how He always knows what is best.

I am thankful for… the sound of little ones falling asleep… little snores, little sighs, so sweet.

From the learning rooms… We’re back to school after a week of achievement tests last week. The kids had a good time, and I enjoyed the rest. We’ll be starting a study of ancient Assyria. How cool!

From the kitchen… We’re having steak fajitas tomorrow night, which is one of my husband’s favorites. I hope I can make them turn out okay. Does anyone have a good way to make homemade tortillas WITHOUT a tortilla press? Mine are so thick!

I am wearing… A black shirt with beautiful embroidery and giant sleeves. I had to put rubber bands on those sleeves all day so they wouldn’t fall into the food or the dishwater.

I am creating… nothing tonight. Even God took time off from creating sometimes!

I am going… nowhere

I am reading… nothing in particular this week, except my Bible. I have some cookbooks from the library checked out, and those will be fun to look at.

I am hearing…my youngest girl’s toy piano. She’s having a good time pushing all the buttons, but it might drive me crazy pretty soon!

Around the house… our town is having their annual garage sale this weekend, so I need to put a few things together for that.

One of my favorite things… buds on maple trees, set against a brilliantly blue sky.

A few plans for the rest of the week… some missionaries are visiting our church this coming Sunday, and they’ll be staying with us Saturday night. That will be fun!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing…

We’ve got some birds like this now that it’s springtime. (Photo courtesy of http://www.allaboutbirds.org)
