Alarm and two snoozes:
Got the paper, visited the bathroom
Started making school lunches–interrupted so I could make breakfasts
{NobleWife gets the kids up and dressed}
Continue making lunches.
Child #1 out the door to the bus.
Make my own breakfast and lunch.
Eat breakfast, get child #2 out the door. Wait for bus. … Wave goodbye
Take a shower…get dressed
Say goodbye as #3 gets driven to preschool by NobleWife
Head out the door preparing to meet a contractor to look at changes in church.
Get to church, to find out plans have been changed.
Walk to visitation at someone’s house.
Visit with the person for an hour.
Walk back to church. (on the way back, I saw a beautiful sight: a tree root, which formed a small pool, in which there lay a little yellow maple leaf. 
)
Back to church in time to prepare for a lunch meeting. Except return a call to General Presbyter (GP) asking me to take on a fairly large responsibility with the Presbytery {“NP,” says she by way of introduction, “the presbytery needs you to step up your service.”…..}
Attend meeting to disucss possible strategys for presbytery regarding its urban churches…
Afterward, discuss said opportunity from GP with the person who just retired from said position. Hmmmm…sounds like an even bigger responsibility than I first thought…..
Meet up with a newly arrived colleague and go out for tea and a catch up about our life and work…
Depart for church to attend weekly Bible Study with folks…
Arrive at the same moment as one of the BibStud participants…which is fine, but little time for transition….
Check email (first time that day, and it’s 3:50) fortunately not a lot needed in response, but at least one bit of correspondence about an upcoming trip that will have to wait.
Bible Study
Direct transition into Preschool Support Team mtg
Commute
Home…dinner…
…kids rushing around…another having to go to soccer practice…
dog who has entered her last phase of life who isn’t sounding very good and needs some love and attention….
this journal entry….
…a quick computer game….
….bed time for kiddos (maybe pickup soccer kid first?)
maybe a conversation with NobleWife?
maybe 15 minutes of junk tv (if I’m lucky, sports)
crash and prepare for another day, not quite so hectic (maybe)……
