Outside my window... The sun is shining brightly, and it's chilly.
I am thinking... about the realities of life.
I am thankful ... that my children are not some of the millions who are without food or a home. We have been watching lots of news stories about children living in their cars, working families not making enough to pay for food, etc. And we live in abundance.
I am wearing... OSU t-shirt layered over a black burnout shirt, black yoga pants, Nike's.
I am planning... our Homeschool Co-op parents' Christmas party that is this Saturday.
I am creating... Rick's Ugly Christmas sweater for the party, and snowflake placemat pillows.
I am going... to take Crusoe for a walk at lunchtime instead of going this morning when it was about 30 degrees (that's what we did yesterday ... brrrrr).
I am reading... Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe (Dawson's read-a-loud), The Forgotten Waltz by Anne Enright.
I am hoping... for a joyful Christmas season.
From the learning rooms... We went and toured the replicas of the Nina and Pinta yesterday, and it was very cool! This week we are back into the books. But Brynne is starting her Christmas units.
Noticing that ... I am so much leaner as a result of my eating and exercising habits and logging them on My Fitness Pal. The pones are GONE!
From the kitchen... Tonight we are having Skinny Spinach Pasta. Tomorrow is Fend For Yourself and Wine Wednesday. Thursday we are having Turkey Pot Pie (leftovers). Friday it's Burgers. On Saturday we are having a Christmas party, so we'll be eating appetizers and desserts and ordering pizza for our kids. On Sunday we'll have Calzones. And on Monday I am planning Meatball Subs.
Around the house... it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
One of my favorite things... is the results of Christmas decorating. The decorating itself stinks!
A few plans for the rest of the week... Mostly this week we will be just doing the norms: school, Kyndal working, Rick back to work. Then this weekend we are having a Christmas party for our Homeschool Co-op parents. And we'll be watching the OSU/OU Bedlam game.
