It's Real Life

...an ordinary Day...

Life on Locust Lane...
My day starts early, this morning the clock in the kitchen said 5:24 AM.
Stillness, peace, and silence greet me.
Laundry, a smoothie and dishes were the first thing I tackled.
Then off to read my devotions
and do a little blogging.
Next I grabbed a handful of nuts, and headed to the basement to work out.
A shower, little make-up, bed fixin' and morning smiles followed.
Then to the kitchen to squeeze limes for my water, make breakfast and start some tea.
School was next. Followed by an appointment at the chiropractor and trip to the Amish store. We ate a late lunch of pasta and meat sauce, and then it was back to our school work. While the boys finished school I whipped up wet burritos for dinner and my little cowgirl wooed me with her square dancin' :) I cleaned up the kitchen, put the cowgirl down for a nap, then vacuumed & mopped.
After cleaning & inside chores, we did our afternoon outside chores, & had some play time outside. I needed a pick me up so, I dove into the nuts jar again, then worked on the computer, cleaned up the boys, sorted the mail & we all sat down to eat dinner.
After dinner we had family fun time, bedtime snacks and packed dad's lunch for tomorrow.
Then it was lights out!
Whooh, what a day!
My days are full, busy and crazy at times, but it is all good.
This pillow looks inviting!
Good night!

Annika, I !loved! this account of your "real life". I love your photos and your perspective in them. Now you need to make a mini-album called "a day in our life" with all of those. Thanks for sharing...
