Today: While I'm not happy Emily is in pain, it's a treat to have her curled up here. She thought she would go to the school at noon for a case conference, but realized she couldn't walk from the parking lot to the meeting site. She's calling in to do her part. Don't tell anyone, but I think I was a tad (or bigger) bit happy Jonathon had to work.
At my writing desk: Called in sick. Ha! Maybe mental health -- RB told me he really liked my outfit. I looked down to discover a purple, black, and white skirt with a red and burgundy paisley top. I changed my mind after I had put my skirt on, but my brain didn't tell me to wear a different (i.e. matching) top. We had a good laugh.
In the mail: I don't remember getting the mail yesterday. Do you have a favorite go-to brand of note cards, or do you use a variety? I have favorite brands (Rifle Card Company, Paper Source, Papyrus), but for economic reasons I use other brands. However, I draw the line at super cheap envelopes.

Praying for: A couple whose 8-month-old baby was smothered by a blanket while sleeping.
Thankful for: Camron -- He gave me seven kisses Sunday when I kissed him good-bye. Made this Mawmaw's heart so happy.
I'm reading: Lysa Terkeurst's post -- "Devastated But Not Destroyed." In the midst of our own devastation, Lysa reminds us that "God is a Redeemer. A Healer. The Author of hope. The Pathway of restoration. The great I AM."
Postmarking: I worked on some cards this morning while visiting with Emily. If time, Emma and I are going to work on some after school.

What happened to that couple is HEARTBREAKING. I will keep them in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteOh wow what happened to that baby is awful - those poor poor parents. x

ReplyDeleteSounds like you're having a laid back day today. No worries! I hope your baby gets better though. I'm terrified about what happened to that baby, I hope everything will turn out okay.
ReplyDeleteThat makes me laugh about your outfit! It's a fun way to start the day though!
ReplyDeleteI love your Daybook idea!
ReplyDeleteI really like that you "take stock" of the day and actually think about the things that you are thankful for, praying for, etc. It's a great way to lead a purposeful life.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I smiled throughout the rest, I am deeply shocked to read that part about that baby being smothered under a blanket
ReplyDeleteA good mental health day is needed sometimes. I think its important to take a day off every now and again.
ReplyDeletePrayers to the family!
