Tomorrow: is Wednesday, in which we will build a new habit and NOT go out to dinner--even to a "Kids Eat Free" restaurant.
Feeling: resigned to the fact that this household needs to pause the regular studies to improve our transition times...because it should NOT take 45 minutes for little girls to dress, make their beds and come downstairs in the morning.
Happy because: this morning, they did it all in 4 minutes--the second time around. Which is to say that after they were ready for their day, we went back into p.j.s, and into bed, and started over....which the little one thought was great fun--enthusiasm enough for all of them.
Today I: will listen to Fifi laugh out LOUD at old episodes on TV Land, on the treadmill, at the gym. (And so will everyone within 100 feet.) Later, Dumpling will strip off the braces and enjoy her dance class.
Laundry: A load a day, and a day behind.
Something I know: we are going to hear Joseph confess his identity to his brothers today, and we are looking forward to that!
Currently reading: Around the World in 80 Days and A Child's History of the World.
Wanting: the "Quick Yoyo Makers" I purchased on-line last night.
Favorite gadget: I guess I'm not impressed enough with anything to call any of them my favorite: laptop? Cell phone? Mp3? (That last one does hold the most beautiful music in the world from my Baroque Choir--so I guess it wins.)
Thankful that: the Lord showed us--without any ambiguity at all--where we are to worship after a long decade of visiting.
Wondering why: we spent so much time driving all over this metro area, when the church was nearly within walking distance all this time?
Feel free to copy and paste...it's going around.

Happy for you that your family found a regular place of fellowship to worship. As for the amount of time it takes the girls to get dressed, I am constsantly trying to figure ut what could be taking my girls so long myself. Have a blessed day, GB.
So glad you have found a church home that you feel confident in God's guiding you to!
Glad to know I am not the only one who feels like I am herding cats at times :)
LOL, Mary! Only I say that I'm herding wild rabbits.
Oh so glad to hear you have found a church to sink deep into. It is a blessed thing. :)
Thats is so wonderful that you found a home church!! We are still looking and praying.
I went to your dancing blog, and enjoyed the lyrical (?) dancing. What a beautiful way to raise your daughters. How is your little one adjusting to her braces?
And as far as your last post, take the time now to enjoy the organized randomness of life & school. Once they hit high school age, it makes it harder to get all their book work done and still be random.
What a great post. It made me smile. I particularly enjoyed the bit about TV Land enjoyment. :)
Listening to laughter... recognition that a pause needs to take place... rejoicing in the success of that pause... thankfulness...
What a blessed day- morning? Regardless, thank you for sharing it.
I (((LOVE))) how you are determined to be FREE in Christ. So beautiful. I'm an IFB girl who loves to slow dance with my husband at weddings and other times and LOVE watching my children dance to classical music and more :)
What a blessing to have found church! Rejoicing with y'all!
Hope you enjoy the rest of your week.

As always, it was such a joy to read your blog today! You offered me a kick in the pants in a number of ways that I was needing. First off, your background music has stirred up an overwhelming desire to go sit down at the piano, something I haven't done in months (*insert very embarrassed blush here*). I read/listen here everyday, not sure why it affected me differently today.
Also, after watching your daughter's beautiful dance recital I am realizing that I have been very harsh and critical. You see, the church that we are currently attending uses Israeli dance and flags as part of their worship. Since I was not accustomed to this I wrongly judged it as absurd and foolish without realizing the beauty and worship of it all. Thank you for speaking your heart and sharing with us. God is using you in mighty ways. God bless and good day!
