The new day is before me.  A blank canvas.  A new beginning.  A fresh start.   A chance to make new friends and greet the old.  Can you tell I was reading some Charlie Brown comics yesterday?  The gray skies and persistant drizzle of rain will not deter me from having a good day.  Nor will the red circle on my calander reminding me that I should be experiencing some premenstral mind altering mood swings today.  This is the day this is the day that the Lord has made.  I'm actually singing.  I just broke out into song.  I'm a star in my own musical.  At 7:25 in the moring sans coffee I am cheerful. 

On the homeschoolling front we have taken a break from our regular studies and have been doing onfire's study guide for 'Cheaper by the Dozen'.  It is fantastic.  We all look forward to reading the chapter each day.  It has been exactly what we needed combat our 7 month burnout. 

As for  personal reflections into me as a person I must say I can't complain.  I don't begrudge myself anything at the moment.  I am content with my choices of late.  I feel loved by my circle of friends.  Father is a constant companion.  My children laughed and enjoyed my presence yesterday.  My mom is not angry with me for anything.  Life is all that is should be.

My husband and I are in love.  I'm talking excited to see him in the morning kind of love.  Can't wait for him to come home from work kind of love.  Still lose my breath when he stares into my eyes kind of love.  What a gift that is.  Not only is he my best friend and only person I can tolerate being around for long periods of time but,  he holds the match that lights my heart onfire.  Okay I just made myself laugh. 

As an unrelated side note to this blog I'm thinking of rounding up all the chocolate bunnies (and there are plenty) and dumping them into the outside garbage.  On a scale of 1 to ten how bad of a mother would that place me?  I am not the rightful owners of said bunnies but I am the only person they haunt.
