warm day, yay!

Today was a good day.  Bella took a three hour nap so I was able to totally clean out the boy's bedroom, and move all the furniture around, and open the windows.  Ahh spring cleaning.  A do like spring cleaning, as long as you mean organizing, and not any real cleaning.  I do love organizing things, having every thing in nice labeled boxes.  It gives me a feeling of peace and comfort.  Another thing that gives me that feeling is weeding.  I got two, or three buckets of weeds out today while the kids played.  I love it.  I wonder if I didn't have kids.  I just get in a weed pulling mental state, and I forget about everything else.  Like, "where are the kids?  oh in the middle of the street, ok good...ooo there's a big one over there...I've got you! ha ha ha."  There must be other people out there who are crazy weed pullers like me.  But most the ones I've met don't really like it, like it's a chore or something, weird.

I've been trying to teach Antonio this week about prayer, and so I thought I would start at the beginning with the sign of the cross.  And so far we have gotten as far as... well....the trinity, and who the Father, Son, Holy Spirit are.  Actually we haven't even gotten that far.  But we make a tiny progress everyday, and I think it is really great.

Thank you Lord for being with me.  Even when I don't call on You, You are there with me to give me comfort.  Amen
