A better May day
May 5, 2009
Today was a day of home & hearth, I:
got up at 6:30, read my RSS, e-mail, enjoyed my morning coffee and was done on the computer before the kids were up at 7:30
read the Bible with the kiddos, listened to Gershwin tunes played on a svelte clarinet while doing chores
organized Celine's spring & summer clothes
planned the week's menu and made the list for my once a month trip to the grocery store
started to plan Celine's 10th birthday celebration
helped Celine plan her supper prep night - gluten free pizza found via Graceful Creative
prepared and ate a salad lunch with the kids and read a fascinating article about ground ivy, the weed that is a herb
wrote for an hour and drank tea
ate a mud-pie pizza - yummy!
helped Laurent dig his pond
helped Celine build a bed (newspaper, compost & mulch) for her perennial garden
built Brienne's perennial bed for her, while she took an unexpected afternoon nap
concocted a very tasty vegan shepherd's pie using fridge leftovers and the end of the week's vegetables (tomorrow is produce day)
enjoyed a smoothie, made by my husband, for dessert
cleaned up the kitchen while Damien watched on-line videos with the kids
made a new batch of lotion, using homemade green tea extract, apricot & avocado oil
</ul>
Today I took care of my family, my home, and myself. Today was a good May day.
