Sitting… on the living room couch. I am surrounded by sleeping dachshunds.
Eating…nothing at the moment. But a few minutes ago when I heard one of the children walking upstairs I began frantically wiping brownie crumbs from my face. Make of that what you will.
Planning…this year’s homeschool.
Waiting…for homeschool books to arrive. Some books I bought used are very late, the woman who sold them has not answered my emails, and I’m thinking I might have gotten taken this time.
Deciding… what to this afternoon. It’s going to be 100 degrees, with enough humidity to suck out your will to live, so our options are limited to water activities.
Reading…Orthodoxy by Chesterton.
Was reading…Age of Opportunity: A Biblical Guide to Parenting Teens by Paul David Tripp. A friend loaned this to me, but I may buy my own copy. Best book on parenting I’ve every read.
Pondering…grace, mercy, and forgiveness. If I get angry at someone for nursing a long-time grudge, am I guilty of the same unforgiveness that I’m accusing them of? If I criticize someone for not relying on God’s grace, am I discounting the same grace that I am so vehemently defending?
Anticipating… soccer season. All three are playing this time. I’m not sure how that’s going to work.
Dreading… cleaning off the bookshelves. It has to be done. I don’t want to do it.
Thankful… for lots of things. Since tonight is our only free evening this week, I’m thankful for that right now.
