Reflections on the Day – November 5, 2008

Reflections on the Day for November 5, 2008.
Rather cold and wet today.

Plans for today – We are going over to my parent’s house today.  WoW dropped a patch yesterday and dad is having issues with his addons.

I am wearing – My brown pants and a cream turtleneck.

I am feeling – My cough seems a little worse this morning, maybe it is the wether.

I am hearing –  The children being loud.

I am thankful for – That I live in a democracy even if I don’t always like the end results.

In prayer – Our nation, that Kyle travels safely, my grandmother.

The Children:

Ashley – Is a good kid.  She makes it out to school even when I over sleep.
Rachel – Conferences are coming up soon and I will finally meet her teacher.  She turns 15 this weekend.
Christopher – He actually managed to get his work done yesterday.
Hannah – Asks evert morning if today is Little Flowers.  She doesn’t want to miss it.
Joshua –  Totally destroyed a roll of double sided tape for the windows.
Sarah – Was shocked that her Halloween basket was empty this morning.  I fear she thinks we are going to my parents’ to refill it.

The Homefires:

Kitchen – I forgot the sour dough… doh.
Craft-room – There is a bit of sewing I am getting to and I need to take my machine in for its tune-up.
Music – I heard a lovely version of the Ave Maria by Cuccini yesterday. I will atempt to share it later today
Lucky Room of the Day –  The office.

My pleasant thought for the Day – From Happy Catholic:

 I am a Christian, and indeed a Roman Catholic, so that I do not expect “history” to be anything but a long defeat — though it contains (and in a legend may contain more clearly and movingly) some samples or glimpses of final victory.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you –
