  • Lazy Sunday

    Jesse went to church without us this morning (Rissy has been complaining of a stomach pain) and then he went to the pawn shop for the afternoon.

    The girls and I watched some of the movies I recently ordered from eBay.  First was the musical, "Into the Woods" - they LOVED it and I enjoyed it as if it was the first time I had seen it!  Then a PBS movie called, "Goodnight Mr. Tom" and another PBS movie, "David Copperfield" which we have on "pause" right now.  All very good movies and worth the money, because I know we will watch them over and over.  Much better quality than cartoons and most of what is on TV these days.

    I just put a prime rib roast in the oven and scooped out my baked potatoes to make twice baked potatoes for our dinner later on.  Jesse has the girls in the garage "helping" him - probably has them moving firewood piece by piece!  They don't care.  They adore their time with him and if he asked them to cut the grass with cuticle scissors they would be thrilled as long as he was with them!

    I got a bit of my desk cleaned off today.  I don't know the origination of my stacks, but at least I know what things are in each stack.  I'm afraid after cleaning today, I'll be lost if I'm asked to put my hands on something quickly!  I left the bills in the same stack.  It's almost time to pay them and I surely don't want to misplace THOSE!!

    I love this "no pressure" day I've assigned myself!  I always have a list of things to do and I think I don't take enough time to spend with our children.  This is the time in their lives when so much can be taught about life and making right decisions.  I should schedule these down times with them more frequently.  The movies we watched today opened up a lot of discussions.
