My Heart's at Home Daybook - January 6th

Outside My Window ...
it's still night time. I couldn't sleep in the wee hours this morning. I had a dream that Sarah smiled a big, huge smile. I was so bummed when I woke to find 'twas a dream. Sarah smiled just before Christmas but she hasn't blessed us again since. I'm told this is normal for a baby whose corrected age is barely 4 weeks old.

I am listening to...
Rachel Coleman singing in my head: Sarah will do what Sarah will do when Sarah is ready to do it (Shine). She's followed by Rachel- the- neonatal- specialist saying, "Tincture of time; all she needs is a tincture of time." The baby we didn't have to wait for is teaching me patience.

Towards rhythm and beauty ...

To live the liturgy...
today we'll celebrate Epiphany. Wonder what "Wii Three Kings" might bring? (Come back here later and I'll have a link;-)

To be fit and happy:-)
I scrapped the Fat Flush Plan . I've come up with my what-works-for-me-and-my-baby plan. Still looking towards total detachment. Still eliminating those food categories that I know are problematic for me personally. Still inspired by Jen's Saint Diet. I'm loving T-Tapp and Wii Fit every day.T-Tapp is a very efficient 15 minutes--you've got to love that in a workout. And Wii Fit? Let me sing the praises of anything that gets the entire family moving, laughing, and enjoying both exercise and each other in the middle of the winter!

Towards a real education ...
We settled into a good pattern yesterday. I'm so relieved to be back at it! The children seemed glad for the rhythm and structure too.

One of my favorite things ...
time for prayer.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
The re-boot of the soccer, basketball, and ballet schedule. Epiphany today. Doctor for Sarah and midwife for me. My birthday is this weekend.

Paddy came back from Florida with a concussion.This isn't a picture of a concussion in action--it's just a random picture of Paddy's head and a soccer ball.
