Outside my window... It is a sunny, beautiful day, but it's pretty chilly!
I am thinking... about the 1950's woman versus the Proverbs 31 woman versus the woman of the 21st century. Someone needs to write a book about it.
I am thankful ... that I have a life partner who balances me so well. This weekend he was able to 'whoa me down' about an issue so that I didn't make things worse. Turns out his advice was the best ever and things turned out so good without my intervention. That was a confidence booster for someone and a victory for me as a parent.
I am wearing... black and red track pants, a red long-sleeved t-shirt, a white zip up hoodie and tennis shoes.
I am planning... an old-fashioned Christmas.
I am creating... the final items for the Fall Craft party that is at school next Monday and Tuesday, some photo Christmas gifts and the finishing touches to our Christmas card.
I am going... to get some hot green tea in minute to perk me up before our afternoon school lessons.
I am reading... A Charlotte Mason Companion by Karen Andreola. Gotta read the rest of what I am going to read tonight because it has to go back to the library tomorrow. I'll definitely have to check it out again. Too many nuggets of information for one reading.
I am hoping... that Rick gets that big break.
On my mind... is Kyndal's birthday. In two days I will have a 16 year old daughter. Weird.
From the learning rooms... We are so busy all the time, but loving it! Trying to add in some Thanksgiving lessons for Brynne. Eli is close to doing 100 addition problems in 4 minutes with no mistakes. He loves doing that! Dawson is finishing up his unit on Ancient Greece and we are moving on to Ancient Rome after Thanksgiving. Kyndal just keeps working at inching up that Geometry grade!
Noticing that ... it might actually be greater to just give someone trust than to require that they earn it.
From the kitchen... Dawson! He's cooking tonight!
Around the house... Are leaves, leaves, everywhere leaves.
One of my favorite things... sitting on the couch, with whoever will sit with me.

A few plans for the rest of the week... Crazy, busy week! Kyndal has physical therapy a couple of afternoons. Brynne has homeschool library tomorrow. Kyndal's 16th birthday is on Thursday! Friday morning we have coop (which I am helping lead .. MORE crafts!). Then that afternoon is our Kindergarten/1st Grade Fall Craft Party work day (we have to make pumpkin scented playdough for 150 kids.) On Saturday I am heading to Tulsa to do some Christmas shopping at An Affair of the Heart. Then on Sunday I will need to get the whole house cleaned and laundry done, since I won't have time to do any of it this week.

At the Oklahoma Aquarium playset at the airport waiting for daddy to get back from his way-too-long business trip to Aruba!

Lots of women Daybook. See what they have to say at The Simple Woman's Daybook.
I can't believe Kyndal is going to be 16! And here I am, freaking out over the fact that Dylan will be 6!
ReplyDelete"about the 1950's woman versus the Proverbs 31 woman versus the woman of the 21st century. Someone needs to write a book about it." I'd love to read that!!! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteI remember thinking how small Kyndal looked when we tucked her in the night Dawson was born. How in the WORLD did she get to be 16 and where does time go?
ReplyDeleteShe was such a pretty little girl and she has certainly turned in to a gorgeous young lady.
Job well done, Mom!
Thanks for your encouragement! I just get so excited about things, and don't see the big picture, you know?? I'm glad I finally got it off my chest! :) I'm just going to focus on fun instead of obligations!
