A Day in the Life...

Last week my sister had the very clever idea of blogging a typical day in her life. I think she's planning to do it once a month, I hope so, because I thought it was great fun to read!  So here is a day in my life.  But I'm not sure if it's typical or not.  Do I have a typical day?  But here's how yesterday went anyway...

We had a LATE NIGHT the night before so we didn't get to bed until midnight.  That is NOT typical as I usually turn into a pumpkin at 10pm.  So I didn't set the alarm and we all slept in.  Upon waking up, and this IS typical, my first thing to do is get my large Starbucks mug of coffee...Aaaaaah!  And then it's time in prayer and the Word.  This month I am reading the whole New Testament, so it's a LOT of reading each morning.  I enjoy getting to see the BIG picture as I read many chapters each day.

 We are having to redo our master bathroom b/c of foundation trouble.  The day before some men came in and hammered out the tub and cement cabinets.  It made the whole master bedroom smell like fumes and ashes.  Weird.  And no way I could sleep in there, so I slept on the roll-away bed in Aaron's room!  At least there was an extra bed :)

Once the boys woke up, somewhere around 8, breakfast was chocolate cereal.  Nothing very healthy, but it's easy.  Then we set up school on the dining room table.  No way we could have school in our designated room because it is next to the master bedroom:  too many fumes or dust or something.  It was hard to breathe.  Our dining room table looked like a command center of some sort with all our computers!










Lunch is at noon and is usually simple, sandwiches or leftovers.  After lunch there was a big storm.  Lots of rain. Nice and refreshing!

 Then it's time to bake cookies.  Today it was oatmeal cookies.  They taste different than American ones because I used Palm Sugar in place of brown sugar.  They taste like granola bars.  Yummy.

 Here's our empty school room.  Too hard to breathe in there...

 In the early afternoon, Kris returns from a trip.  Yea!  Nice to have our family back together again!

 Out to eat for dinner.  One of our favorite restaurants is Solaria.  It sells a little of everything.  Our family usually orders a variety: chicken cordon bleu, chicken teriyaki, fried rice, soup, noodles...

Then back home to relax in the evening.  We decided to try sleeping in our bedroom since the dust has settled. This is the view of our bathroom that I woke up to this morning.  Don't think I'll be taking a shower in there anytime soon!  So there you go, a day in our lives.  Not super exciting or anything, but it is what it is.  And now you know! :)
