Outside my window... It's a crisp, sunny morning.
I am thinking... about what a nice Christmas Break this was, and how I am not sure I am ready to get back into real life again.
I am thankful ... for a renewed desire to work on some meaningful relationships, starting at home.
I am wearing... an OSU hoodie t-shirt, jeans, and black moccasins. Way to go, Pokes!
I am planning... this week's lessons for school. We start back tomorrow!
I am creating... a long-distance relationship with my daughter. And this weekend Dawson and I created his Nerd Cave. Post coming soon ....
I am going... to have a typical day today of cleaning, laundry, going to the library, dropping off recycling, and doing lesson plans.
I am reading... Christmas on Ladybug Farm by Donna Ball.
I am hoping... for good, Christian friendships for Kyndal at her new school. She starts this week and I have been praying for her new friend (whoever she is), and that Kyndal is wise in her choices.
From the learning rooms... Last. day. of. Christmas. break. We start back at it tomorrow. Brynne will be starting a month-long unit on Dogs and studying Missouri this week, as well as doing her regular studies in math, reading, writing, grammar, and art. Dawson starts The Civil War, is getting back into Energy in Biology, and re-focusing on his other regular studies. Eli will have to find a way to get back into his school schedule, and out of his pj's (which he isn't going to be too happy about). And, Kyndal starts her new school this week. I am nervous for her, but hopeful for positive changes in her life.
Noticing that ... I feel free and alive and happy.
From the kitchen... It's time to put away the freezer food and microwave! Here's what we are having in the next couple of days:
Tuesday ~ Calzones
Wednesday ~ FFY and Wine Wednesday (want to make this an emphasis for Rick and I again!)
Thursday ~ Grilled pork chops, rice, pasta, asparagus
Friday ~ Homemade Chick-fil-a nuggets, waffle fries
Saturday ~ pancakes, eggs, and sausage
Around the house... are sleeping children, trying to get in their last day of sleeping in before school starts again.
One of my favorite things... is my new iPad. I love it!
A few plans for the rest of the week... All that's on the schedule is starting school and resuming Co-op activities. Otherwise, the calendar is empty.
