Today the sun in shining - the air is warm - the birds are happily singing

I'm sitting at the table after lunch - procrastinating cleaning up the kitchen.

I can hear the kids playing outside - we are a very loud family

Soon we will get in the car and go to swimming lessons

My mind is overflowing - planning our Homeschool Leadership Meeting for tonight contemplating who will come forward and serve next year - wondering what God will Do.  There are never enough willing volunteers and yet He always provides.

I'm wishing I could sit back in the sun with my homeschool books and plan, plan , plan.  Alas, it isn't so.

The to-do list for the week looks like this...Swimming Lessons, Leadership Meeting, Baseball Game, AWANA, Co-Op, Youth Group, Music Practice, Haircuts, Insurance Renewal for Work, and...I'm sure I left somthing out.  But it will come to me eventually, probably 10 minutes before I'm supposed to be there.

The delayed gratification of time to plan our school upcoming school year - should make it all the more sweeter when I finally settle down in my wonderful patio furniture, under the umbrella, sip iced tea and make notes to my heart's content - Googling unit studies and researching library books until my fingers go numb.

My husband is right - he married a NERD.
