So I can't let this day end, without an update, only because my good friend Amanda started her first blog today, so I'm inspired to get back to blogging, so what it's only been about 15 months since I've been here and written anything. It's funny too because I really like to write and it's therapy. - Oh and the things that my kids say, should really be recorded because they are really, really funny!
Today was a work day. We have some company coming kind of last minute, but I work best under pressure, and it's always a blessing to see James, Meredith, and Ian. Plus it was time to do the weekly cleaning anyway, we just got some jobs done a day earlier.
This week, we rocked science and made our second batch of home made laundry soap. The kids loved it. It blends Science, Home-Ec and Shop because we stir with a power tool, measure with measuring cups, and it turns from a liquid to a gel like substance in 24 hours. Very, Very cool - and CHEAP! :) Love that!
Dustin's track season is a little more than half way through. The weather has been rough this spring for track. We got the kids to a meet in Marengo last week, and it was beautiful.
Easter is Sunday and we're looking forward to a mad dash trip up to Todd's folks. It will be a good time, to see his family (especially his sister her husband and their kids). Tomorrow night is DATE NIGHT - all the kids will be some place else and we will have a date before we take off to Sheffield. Nicely timed. Thanks to those who are making that possible!
That's enough - I'm tired, and will glance at the news for 10 minutes before bed! Pilates was hard tonight, haven't been in months and my body reminded me of that tonight!
I'm reminded though as I close on the eve of this Good Friday - how very special and scared these next hours/days really are, what our Lord did for us, asking that "this cup" should pass, never the less, "not His will," but that of His Heavenly Father be done.... I so often want my own way. Lord willing I can be ever mindful that NOT MY WILL, but that of MY Heavenly Father be done in my own life, each day. To God be the Glory! Happy Easter!
