Saturday La La

Saturday, delicious Saturday. Mmmm....I love to snuggle into your lazy morning, watching food network in bed (no crumbs!)  laziliy eating weekend cereal (Reeces puffs and egg salad...  whatever, it's the weekend!)  reading the paper, making the grocery list, listening to Tommy Dorsey on Pandora, surfing the net while baby sleeps and big girls dance the hula to "Tea for Two"  I have 2 books on deck to read, no place to go, no place to be.  Maybe I will do a little cooking tonight but ONLY if I want to.  This is the day I am going to rejoice in!!  AHHHhhhh...   Saturday La La!

Order My Steps

So I was taking my shower first thing this morning and praying that it would be a good day, a productive day, and a day not like yesterday.  Yesterday was hard and the day before that even harder.  Now mind you my hard days are not REALLY hard, just marginally difficult in an otherwise extraordinary life.
So I was taking my shower first thing this morning and praying and asking God to help me through the day to day of being a mom with a strange part timish schedule, children in school all day and half the day, and a baby who needs my attention to thrive.  I am on the constant search for the perfect .......
Schedule.
I am a woman who aspires to be structured, to know what is next, to manage those around me with grace, dignity and love.  I fail miserably at this one most crucial task of being the manager of our home and family.
So I was taking my shower first thing this morning and praying that God would please just order my steps today and help me to be efficient with my time, present with my children, and faithful to this life He has called me to.
I am hoping some magical celestial Filofax will fall from the heavens and order my life.
I think I will take a few minutes and pray and then still myself to let God have control of my day, my life.
