Well things went down from there....mainly my attitude. I won't lie, the selfish part of me resides mostly in the morning, which I claim as MY TIME. Perhaps (most certainly) God is trying to skim off that ugly part of my fleshly being. Ugh. I hate tests....especially early in the AM. Even after my second vat of coffee I was still lingering in my self-centered mood. Grrr. Ok, repentance time....start with God's new mercies again tomorrow morning.
Then I realized I never heard Brenden get up to take a shower. I went downstairs to find him sleeping on the couch. He had gotten sick in the middle of the night. Poor guy. So, I just let him sleep. I enjoyed having him home today.
A common saying among homeschooling moms is, "A bad day of homeschooling is better than a good day at public school." ((please don't take offense...it's just something we say to make us feel better about those days in which we struggle)) Well, I think today our homeschooling was like.....ummm, a day that we should have made a snow day. When both teacher and student are crabby and very unmotivated....it just doesn't go well. Perhaps something stuck with Nick today as I read to him about the Oregon trail....or that two negatives always make a positive. Who knows.
The best part of the day was when my good friend Angela came to get a highlight & haircut. We had a good visit, in between keeping Lucy and her son Micaiah out of mischief (they are so darn cute together!). It's so nice to talk to a grown-up during the day!
So now I might go have a cup of tea.....then some laundry....but first, I need to dig into my Bible since I never got my quiet time this morning. Maybe that's what's been unbalanced in me today! Yes, God's very word spoken to me. Ok, gotta run. :)

Oh yes- I know what you mean. I am not a morning person- I like to wake up , think, ponder, wake up some more, pray, get my thoughts together,get ready for the day and then get energy to get the kids up. I am totally put out when they are up right away- throws me off schedule. Just a half hour to 45 minutes does wonders for me!!
I love the pic of Nick in the box!! Big brothers are awesome! We have two of them that are playing with the girls right now!!
Heres hoping for a better morning tomorrow!
Blessings,

I am in a mood myself today. I may have told my kids they were going to public school a few times this afternoon:) They know I am only kidding! My 9 year old told my husband I never taught him how to multiply by 8's??? Yeap! Skipped right from 7 to 9... Needless to say it was a LONG day.
I think it is the weather here. It was in the upper 70's last week and today it was snowing. It could also be the fact that I woke up soaking wet. My princess who never has night time accidents wet the bed. MY BED!!! It was gross. There is nothing like waking up at 6 AM to change sheets and start laundry.
At least I can laugh at it now.
maybe i'll make take a road trip with jax and coem have a make-over day at your home. and jax and lucy can trash, err, i mean play in, your house.
totally agree. I need- at least I think I do- at least an hour before the kids get up.
I hate Sat. when I indulge and sleep in and they are coming down the stairs with me!
Can identify with that mood think.
I meant thing!
I think it must have been in the air. I was having an off day too. Started grumpy, and got grumpier. I'm sorry, Lord. I did NOT glorify you today. (Er, yesterday)
Praying today is a better day, for you my friend!
