A Plain-Jane Sort of LIfe

Tuesdays are sometimes my favorite days.

It is the one day a week that we don't have to leave the house for anything. Now, we still open our doors in the evening to about 12 kids, so I'm not totally off the hook here, but I don't have to bundle any squealing, squirmy anybodies into hats, mittens or coats.

This is the day that we don't have to rush any thing. I can take an extra minute here at the PC. I have time for lotion after my shower. There is time to finish the coffee.

Of course, I won't be just lounging in my slippers all day. I'm a mom after all, I have laundry...wait a minute...there is laundry everyday. There are frog tanks to be cleaned. What joy. Dirty dishes...again, I'm blessed by these daily.

But even with all the "chores" of my everyday plain-Jane life, Tuesdays offer some space. For that, I'm thankful.
