and then the sun goes down on my intentions . . .
i do think about being in this space . . .
i just heard isaac say: "i need to think really fast, cause i have this turn-y thing in my head and it gives me ideas." this was in response to maddie saying: "are we just going to argue and argue or are we actually going to play?"
i'm visitng around on the internet a bit while drinking apple cider vinegar with lots of honey in hot water. my throat is so thick and sore today. and my shoulders and neck are so achy. oh the joys of having cared for sick kiddos at the end of last week. why is it that it's so snuggley and lovey to hold a very sick, warm baby, but that means that you are breathing in all their germs over and over . . . blah.
in a few minutes i'm going to take a hot shower and then see if i can muster myself to teach some math. we really should accomplish something today. we read yesterday and the kids had their piano lessons. they are both doing so well. i'm really proud of them, and i enjoy listening to them practice.
ben got me a bird-feeder for christmas. it's really pretty. but no birds have found it yet . . .
i've been reading in the old testament. good grief. i hope i'm not like those ancient isrealites. they'd learn a lesson and then within a few short days/months/years they were right back at what had gotten them in trouble in the first place. makes me think about striving to grow and move forward and not just sit stagnant, or worse, revert to old habits and ways of thinking.
i have a few projects that i'm working on (of the sewing variety) but i have to wait to show them to you . . . hopefully i will finish them up within the next few days even and get to start some show-and-tell here.
i hope you all have a peaceful tuesday, my friends.
love, ~e
