Went to sleep at around 1am, with the intention of waking up in time to watch the racing bikes whiz down the street. They usually pass on Wednesday mornings just before 6am. Daisy the Pug woke me up at 5:49--what timing, eh? Well, went to look out several times before 6 and just after, but no bikers. Nuts. Every time I've seen them (always by accident) I get a little rush.
Guess some things are better unintentional!??! Yeah, if I'd 'not' been looking for them, I would've. There's probably some deep spiritual metaphor connected to this situation, but I'm too tired to look for it.
Must go back to bed in a minute. Nothing pressing, so can afford to indulge my urge/need to rest.
The day spreads out in front of me, and looks to be mild and regular. The older boys have work to do at a neighbor's, cleaning out their backyard. Oldest daughter is off work today, so the house will be full of all the kids going in and out. No plans for anyone except Gary who has a console table to deliver after dinner. Now, that's encouraging as my change purse has developed an echo. Only other really neat news is that he's been able to scavenge leftover wood in his shop and is cutting pieces for our kitchen floor. Presently it's got strategically-placed rugs on it, covering up tears and holes in the vinyl. Wood floor. Imagine that, and free to boot. We've just got to figure out HOW to do it! Ah, there's the rub. We're such sophomores in life. Just winging it, most days. God has to have an incredible sense of humor to have given the pair of us eight kids to raise. We really don't have a clue. ;)
