A Bit Consumed

I've been away far longer than I intended but you know how it goes...someone once said "sometimes life is just so daily" ~smiling~

As much fun as blogging is, both the sharing my own little tidbits here and there and reading the little tidbits others offer, well, it takes a second place to real life.

I'm a little consumed right now between the homeschooling, the Fall house sprucing I like to do this time of year, getting the wardrobes changed over, and I've got all sorts of scheduling and attending of tests for dyslexia, vision therapy, and speech for SJ, and other meetings as well. Throw in there a writing project I'm working on and just trying to keep family life issues on an even keel and it's easy to see there aren't enough hours in the day.

Despite all desires and attempts to keep life simple life is not cooperating :o) so I just concentrate on keeping my heart peaceful and simple amidst all the demands.

I won't go into the difficulties because I'm in no mood to be tedious today. The difficulties just make the good seem all the better so I won't complain. Too Much anyway ~laughing~

It's really feeling like Autumn again. The first of the month was so Fall-like and then it got really hot again for the following two weeks. This week it is cooling down again and I'm feeling the need to bake some pumpkin bread and maybe some apple crisp as well.

As I sit here I am basking in the fresh, cool air seeping in through the windows. Naturally, with the evenings becoming so cool now I'm thinking it's time to get the flannel sheets out and fluffed and onto the beds. Just the thought...ahhh. It's hard to find something more comforting than a soft bed with flannel sheets to sink into at the end of a full day. Do I hear agreement?

Today, we are concentrating on enjoying the day.
**We're going on a little excursion to the craft store to stock up on supplies
**We're going to be creative...some writing, some gluing, painting, and other mess making
**We're going to have a warm from the oven afternoon snack with our current read-aloud this
afternoon
**And the Yankee Candle is getting lit on this slightly overcast, cool Autumn day so the house will smell delicious :o)

Have a Wonderful weekend all!

God Love You and Keep You
