My busy day...

My day began at 4:45 today.
A bad dream awoke me to prayer.
In the shower I had a talk with God and began to open up to Him.
After my shower I hung out quietly in my master Bedroom Closet to hang up the laundry I had washed up at the end of last week.

After my dogs got fed and hushed I sat down to read
Keeping interested in my own career is vital.
Part of my role as mother is to understand their ever changing developmental stages.

Menu Plan Monday is a great meme I like to participate in.
I set up "Vanilla Spin" (Dove named the mixer) to make slaw.
Cabbage and carrots, later chopped up tri-colored bell pepper was added.
The children LOVE slaw.

1/3 C Mayo
2 tbs. vinegar
2 tbs. sugar
1 tea.celery seed
1 tea sea salts
I needed to double this batch for I made a good amount of slaw.

I made some cookie dough by using this egg replacement so I did not have to go to the grocery.
When the kids were gathered after their half day of school, I surprised them with cookies waiting to be baked.
they were so excited to get home.

After stopping at the cur for the mail the kids had home to jump in every puddle and plash all they could. After I shut the garage door I made them remove the wet things in the garage and put them right into the washer. Then they were off to do again the wet things a rainy day calls for. Like getting caught making mud prints on the wall. Luckily for them I had been reading and handled it much better than normal. I reminded them of what is right and they went to correct things without me even saying another word.

They trudged of to de-mud the shoes, and hands of earthen glee.

The prints on the walk and the porch will be visible on the next dry morning to be sure. If anything ever happened to either of them these foot prints would be invaluable to me. So should they be now. :)

She was not sure if she was in trouble too. She was not, but she looked like she was thinking about it.

Dove helped her brother to wash up :) then she washed up the dogs water bowl and refilled it with clean water. She even washed her brothers shoes.

Once dry they came in to get warm and have snacks.

Delight in the Lord and He shall give the the desires of your heart.
My desire was met in that I poured out my heart and gained understanding and knowledge how to respond better to the kids. The knowledge of just one mornings read really helped to refocus. 6 an 10 are just infants in the real line of time!

I better get back to the coat.
