Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Routine!!!

We have had two nights of dinner actually presented on the table with my family---that is the opposite of the chaos of many extra mouths and a chow line feeling!!!! Or just catching a meal in between places to be!!

We had a complete day of schooling with no where to go!! Only a couple of meltdowns and no interruptions!!!

I can almost see my desk for the first time in two months!!! I got----
*Grandma's bills done
*Grandma's files cleaned
*Grandma's checkbook done
*Our bill done
*Our files cleaned
*Our checkbook balanced
*New files set up for weddings
*Responded to our 5th child inquiry where the child was placed right before we called!!!
*Scheduled for a co-presentation on teaching our kids to be racially and disability sensitive
*Caught up with a good friend on weddings and kids
*Worked on some scholarship and college stuff with Drew
*Graded all Drew's school he did over break
*Cleaned out the desk drawers

All this and my house is relatively clean, my kids are relatively happy and my family ate 3 meals today!!

Praising God for the amazing feeling that comes from a day of big accomplishments!!!

Now praying for a good night sleep, which is not easy coming with a husband with a cough and cold---I spent last night on the couch with the dog!!
