Cares:
I’m reading Numbers in the Bible and I have a deep admiration for Joshua and Caleb. Talk about two men who trusted in God completely. I want my faith to look like theirs.

I’m getting into more of a routine. The second week of school wasn’t as tiring as the first. I’m hoping the trend continues. Missing Brogan will never go away, but our daycare provider sends pictures and videos via email, which makes being away from him easier. And the fact that he’s only two minutes from my school helps a lot too.

I had Curriculum and Information Night last night with my students’ parents. It went very well, but I didn’t get home until 8:30 PM. I’m very thankful it’s Friday. I’m tired.

Concerns:
Getting my pitch ready for the ACFW conference, which is in *gulp* three and a half weeks.

Ryan’s back hurts. Not a good thing for his line of work

Celebrations:
I had a major breakthrough with my outline for Wishing on Willows. Things are jelling. Things are flowing. It’s the BEST feeling!

I ordered Writing the Breakout Novel Workbook off Amazon two days ago and it came in the mail today. Talk about timely service. I’m very eager to start working through it and to share what I’ve learned.

Question to Ponder: What are your cares, concerns, and celebrations on this sleepy Friday morning?removetweetmeme

– That my son is almost 10 months old and we still haven’t gotten professional photos yet?

– That I pour Hershey’s chocolate syrup on chocolate fudge brownie ice cream? And sometimes caramel syrup too?

– That I eat a bowl of that ice cream every night?

– That my house is a mess?

– That I’d like to call in sick when I feel just fine?

– That I crack my knuckles at least ten times a day?

– That I dog-ear pages in books that don’t belong to me?

– That I occasionally throw away cans when it would take maybe five more seconds from my day to recycle them?

Question to Ponder: What imperfections do you give your characters?removetweetmeme

Here are a few of mine:

– shaving my legs, then getting goosebumps right after

– shaving my legs, and realizing I missed a spot

– the paper-thin toilet paper in public restrooms that rips when you try to pull some off

– putting on make up and drying my hair (who has time for that?)

– lawn mowers

– loud motorcycles

– sweating when I don’t want to sweat

– when my husband slurps his drinks (he’s getting much better at this)

– slow internet

– gum/food smackers
