Hmmm...seems easy enough.  I prattle on about something, then go back and read it.  I seriously doubt anyone would want to read about my daily life, except maybe myself!

Let's see, today I awoke to hubby asking if I was awake yet (I wasn't), then stumbling into the kitchen for my every-other-day "cleansing drink."  (See recipe section, when I get it going.)  Then I had breakfast (sprouted wheat toast with almond butter and a "proper" cup of tea--see my favorite links for what this means).  After that, my wonderful one and only daughter had just washed her long beautiful hair (see photos when I get them up) and I offered to trim it for her, finally. After that, I washed my own not-as-long-and-not-as beautiful hair (again, see photos section) and got ready for the day.

My oldest son (he's one of six sons we have been blessed with) was filming today (he's making a movie--future Christian filmmaker) and one of his friends was coming over to film his part.  That came off well, they got finished in about two hours this time, as opposed to six hours on other days!  I had dinner planned so felt "free" to work on my quilt wall hanging: http://www.debbiemumm.com/potm/04/february/quilting/februarypotmquilting.asp

Today I got the quilting finished and even picked out the buttons and their placement on the jars.  My mom has a bunch of old buttons, many of which belonged to her mother, who loved to sew even more than I do, and I asked if I could go through them so that this "heirloom" might have a bit of the generations in it.  The buttons that she gave me were fabulous!  (OK...I know I'm a bit off-kilter to get so happy about old buttons....) 

My husband is very depressed about the sad state of our finances...again.  We go through horrendous ups and downs and now is a very low "down."  I have complete trust in the Lord to provide--after all, it's His job.  I do, however, cry out to Him daily to provide again, as it is so burdensome to my heart to see my poor husband suffer so.  He takes his role as provider so seriously.  So, please Lord, please!  Bring us some money!  Put it on the hearts of the people who owe us money to pay us! 

This is yet another season of waiting for the provision of the Lord.  My hubby and I are taking real estate classes because he really wants to change careers.  People have been telling him for years that he would be great at that business, and the truth is, he really would.  It's been hard to make the transition when the money is coming in, because the work was keeping him more than busy at the time.  Now, however, he is less than busy with work and we are taking the classes.  Any type of business, other than running the house and homeschooling, is just not my thing, but I do so want to support my husband.  I am sure that knowing at least the basics will enable me to be the help-meet that I was created to be. 

Neither of us would ever have me put aside my role as a wife and mother (and homeschooler) to do real estate, but right now it is no hardship for me to attend these classes.  The content is boring boring boring, but...lots of things have to be endured.  We have hopes and prayers that this business can take us into the sunset of our lives.  Even though it is very difficult to transition careers at any age, at almost 53, it is harder, especially after building a business for over 15 years and it fizzling out after all that time.
