A Lady's Meme

from Michelle Melania

Outside My Window … it is dark.

***

I am thinking … about how I'd like to splurge on some nice-smelling floor cleaner, like lavender or basil and mop the floor. The tiles need cleaning so badly, and I so badly need some little extra encouragement to do it.

***

I am thankful for … two little sets of "helping" hands, cooking dinner with me.

***

From the kitchen … chicken and dumplings

***

I am wearing … black, grey, lavender skirt with black shirt

***

I am creating … financial statements for my students on the Speech & Debate Team. How mundane.

***

I am going … to see a play with my mother and sister tomorrow night.

***

I am reading … at school, 12 scripts at once to find good performance pieces... Father Seraphim Rose at night in bed.

***

I am hoping … to cultivate an appreciation for cleaning.

***

I am hearing … the dishwasher's swishy song.

***

Around the house …my little ones are sleeping, hubbie is studying, and my bed is whispering to me gentle reminders of the time.

***

One of my favorite things … holding either of my children, snuggled on the couch, in the morning when they just wake up and aren't ready to go wild yet.
***

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: attend a play, attend a "Women's Night Out" party, see my neice's dance recital...

Here is a picture thought I am sharing … this seems like yesterday, but many days have slipped away between then and now. Lord, help me be thankful each day and not wish them away.

If you are reading this, consider yourself tagged. If you complete this meme on your blog, please leave a comment. And please, can anyone tell me what "meme" stands for anyway?

  3. "The dishwasher's swishy song"-- Yes! I so smiled--you are right!

    Can I join you in singing songs as we delight in cleaning our homes, serving our families... and yes, snuggling up those babies.

    Your joy makes my heart sing!

    All's grace,
    Ann

  4. I'll do the meme, but I doubt I'll ever find a way to delight in cleaning my home....;-)
