Sunday afternoon

~nora finishing my oatmeal yesterday

Lying in bed---just took a short nap.  The window's open and I can hear the least one out back singing to herself.  She's with the the chickens, which is, pretty much, her favorite place to be.  Oldest daughter made lasagna, which is baking in the oven and everyone else is in their rooms taking it easy.

Tonight the girls and I will watch 'The Amazing Race' and then watch 'The Paradise' on Masterpiece Theatre.  We'll eat a store bought cake.  I in fact believe every situation is improved with cake.  Haven't been proven wrong as of yet.

Will begin the week quietly.  With our illness at bay, nice to feel good again.  Will catch up on schoolwork, tidy up the house, do some things that have been left undone for a couple of weeks, and enjoy the anticipation of my very dearest friend coming in to town on Saturday.  Life is darn good just now.
