Today…

– we were all awakened at 6am by the very loud thunderstorm.  I love thunderstorms.  I don’t like waking up early.  I like it even less when my kids wake up early.

– Tim has a hurting arm/shoulder…some combination of softball and digging and weeding in the garden did not serve him well.  Any movement is causing significant pain, which is highly unusual for him.

– I have a headache (probably thanks to the change in weather) and, consequently, an upset stomach.  Both adults in the house feeling under-the-weather = a very unproductive day.

– Elijah has had several days of really unpleasant diapers.  This probably has something to do with his habit of eating (and drinking) anything he can, including candles, bubbles solution, crayons, dirt, and more.  He also had a couple days of orange pee.  Thanks, Crayola.

– Our house is a mess.  It really is amazing what one day of no housework can cause.

– Someone called wanting to see our camper.  It is the first person to show any interest in the more than two weeks we have had it advertised.  But it only takes one person, right?

– I wasn’t all that excited to get our CSA share today.  Mostly because when my stomach is queasy, raw vegetables are one of the least appealing foods to me.  The return of pregnancy nausea may cause problems for making the most effective use of our garden and CSA vegetables.  That is very disappointing to me.

– Nathanael told me I am the nicest mommy, Bethany made Tim an “I hope you feel better” card, Caedmon did a lot of extra tasks around the house, Elijah was cute and made me smile a lot.  I’m happy they’re mine.

…and that was our day.  I’m thankful there will be new mercies tomorrow.
