I am feeling somewhat better. I have gotten some things done. And I'm feeling creative. Taking a nap helps sometimes.

Bad Day
I want to go back to my old medicine. I am not doing well. I have laundry to do if I don't want things to back up. I have meals to make. I need to clean. But I feel dead. My soul hurts. I need to pray and draw closer to God, but honestly I … Continue reading Bad Day
My First Loaf of Bread
Today I used our old bread machine to make my first loaf of bread. I made parmesan garlic bread. It didn't turn out perfectly. I took out the mixing piece too soon. But my husband has still enjoyed a piece. Tomorrow I might try again. I got several chores done today, but not as many … Continue reading My First Loaf of Bread
Weekend, Collage, Adobe
Other than ending up at the dentist, the past 3 days have been relaxing. We wanted to go to the fireworks in the city on Independence Day, but it rained. That was disappointing. But we have spent a ton of time together as a family. Tomorrow my husband is taking us on a surprise site … Continue reading Weekend, Collage, Adobe
War, Collapse, Persecution
What are you most worried about for the future? I'm worried about war with China. I don't want my husband to die in the fight or my daughter to get drafted (if they get so desperate they draft girls) and die. It's frightening. I try to look ahead with a smile and laugh at the … Continue reading War, Collapse, Persecution
Changed Our Minds
We have changed our minds about homeschooling next year. Long story, but we decided that homeschooling would not be best for A for now. So now we are between two different schools to send her to. One is a clear first choice, but we haven't interviewed with them yet. The other school is also very … Continue reading Changed Our Minds
Lovely Afternoon
A had a cooking class today, followed by a sleepover. She won't come home until tomorrow night after her next cooking class. I miss her, but today C and I got to go out on a date. It has been nice having it be just the two of us for the evening. Tomorrow C goes … Continue reading Lovely Afternoon
A Lovely Day
This morning I slept in a little bit. I got up a little after 8. My daughter's sewing teacher came over. While she was doing sewing I was talking to someone from the school district about home school resources and activities. I got some good information. Homeschooling is feeling more real. I've homeschooled for a … Continue reading A Lovely Day
Battlefield, Film, Books
Today my husband took our family to a historic battlefield. I got photos on both of the film cameras I brought. I can't wait to see how the color flash comes out in one and the special effects of psychedelic blues film in the other. Film makes me happy. I ordered more today for my … Continue reading Battlefield, Film, Books
Many Are Invited, Few Are Chosen
For the first time, I really realize how important the parable of the wedding banquet is. A man who does not have wedding clothes is spotted at a wedding celebration (and he had already declined to attend),and cast outside where there is gnashing of teeth. Then Jesus says "Many are invited, few are chosen." If … Continue reading Many Are Invited, Few Are Chosen
