doings

i'm sitting here in the den listening to Brian sip whisky and read little women to the kids. =) it's been a good day. i ran/walked 5 miles this morning before sun up, then met our pastor's wife and another woman at the church to finalize plans for the clothing exchange tomorrow morning. then it was off to pioneer farms for our friday field trip. they were having homeschool day, so there were lots of familiar faces there. the classical conversations group that meets at our church was there, the group i did nursery care for last year. margaret wanted to dress up for the occasion.

we stopped by the library on the way home and picked out 5 movies, the limit they'll allow you to check out at one time.

i left the kids home and ran errands for the event tomorrow. while at hobby lobby i found some wonderful fabric to use in Hazel's room - blue, green, and brown - the colors i plan to decorate her room in.

this evening i've been baking for the morning clothing swap. i made a couple o' dozen strawberry cream cheese muffins, and now i have my famous orange cinnamon roll recipe in the oven.

it's so disheartening to hear of new fires popping up all over texas every day. i feel like crying with the psalmist, how long, O Lord, will you hide yourself forever, will your wrath burn like fire?

well, time to clean up my mess in the kitchen and drag myself to bed.
