In my spirit:
- Working on memorizing Ephesians 1:15-23 – and having it inspire me to prayer and worship
- Practicing confession, more frequently than I’d prefer as I’ve often found myself frustrated with and short towards Tirzah Mae
In the living room:
- Packing, packing, packing. I don’t have enough boxes for our books so I’m planning to do that part in stages.
- How is it possible that I can wash three loads of dishes daily and still have messy kitchen at the end of the day?
In the kitchen:
- Putting meals on the table, but nothing spectacular.
- I didn’t grow up eating cinnamon rolls with chili, but I know others did – and I felt like rolls on Monday so chili became my excuse.
In the nursery:
- Tirzah Mae’s new thing is waking up at night and wanting to stay awake. I’m so thankful this hadn’t been or experience in the first year.
- I think my breastmilk volume might be decreasing – sometimes it seems like Tirzah Mae will nurse and nurse and nurse some more; and, when I finally get tired and offer her a water cup instead, she gulps it down.
In the craft room:
- No crafts these days – see “packing”
In the garden:
- Still dormant for the winter – I’ll be moving my raised bed out to Prairie Elms soon, and I’m contemplating whether to move my compost too.
At Prairie Elms:
- We do a final walk-through at the beginning of next week – it’s starting to look DONE!
- We’ll close on our mortgage (to pay off the construction loan) Friday – and them we’re ready to start moving in!
How exciting about the new house! Though the transition will make everything unsettled for a bit, it will be so nice when everything’s set up in the new place.
I had not heard of cinnamon rolls with chili. We usually have corn muffins with it.
