Got up from nap-time today feeling more settled. The little girls were still down in their room with their big sister, so I wasn't immediately accosted by questions and more questions. :) I had a minute to put the whipped cream on the pies for dessert tonight.
Oldest daughter asked a friend over for after dinner, and she made pies from an idea that fourth son came up with. Since we make key-lime pies, and often substitute the lime juice with lemon juice, this son wondered why not try orange juice. Daughter put in a whole can of thawed juice instead of the lime/lemon and we sampled the finished product. Yum!
Anyway, rest-time was just that. Restful. My husband had taken the boys to work at their restaurant job, and I was able to tidy up around here a bit. Then had to save my cellphone from its fate after accidentally dropping it in my glass of ice water. It's drying out, I guess. After patting it with tissues after I took it apart, I got into bed with my newest read---another Persephone book, this one being Saplings by Noel Streatfeild. Excellent. Even dozed off for a bit.
Now if I can hold onto this feeling of smoothness, I'll be thankful. The week will be one of manna living with waiting for more work to come into my husband's shop. Sometimes living on the edge can be sort of an adventure---that is, when I'm rested up. Now it's good. The Israelites only had their needs met day-by-day, and so it goes.
