Outside my window... is a beautiful, sunny, pre-spring day! It's a major mood-lifter!
I am thinking... about how inspired I always feel after a visit to my parents in Missouri. I want to clean, organize, exercise, eat better, and sell this house and move into something much smaller.
I am thankful ... that my grandma is doing so well in her assisted living facility. She looks better than she has in years, and seems to be enjoying her life there.
I am wearing... jeans, white burnout t-shirt, black and white plaid flannel shirt, black potato shoes.
I am planning... a unit on the book The Secret Garden.
I am creating... ideas for how to organize my pantry.
I am going... to continue with my morning routine that I know works for me: getting up at 6 a.m., doing my Bible reading and devotion time, going for a walk/run with Crusoe, coming home and showering and getting ready for the day before Eli gets up for school. I feel so energized and productive all day when I just drag myself up when that alarm goes off!
I am reading... The Descendants by Kaui Hart Hemmings, and I am finishing it today!, My Name is Mary Sutter by Robin Oliveira (Put aside while I read The Descendants), My Antonia by Willa Cather (Dawson's daily read-a-loud), Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut (not-so keeping up with Dawson so we can discuss it, one chapter a week), Stepping Heavenward by E. Prentiss (my daily devotional), Beautiful in God's Eyes by Elizabeth George (book study I am doing with a friend, doing one chapter every two weeks), For Women Only by Shaunti Feldhahn.
I am hoping... for prosperity and protection.
From the learning rooms... This week we are going to stay home and get some book work done! Dawson is working on his Heartland American History studies and digging into DNA and the Double Helix, in addition to all his regular studies. Brynne will be doing another week of Dog studies, and some more United States Geography. It's going to be a great week!
Noticing that ... houses are starting to go up for sale in our neighborhood. I am hoping that they start an upward trend so that comps go up. Maybe someday we will actually be able to sell our house and not lose a ton of money. For now, though, we have to wait out this market.
From the kitchen... Tonight we are having burritos. Tomorrow is Fend for Yourself night. Thursday we'll have Crock pot chicken, Mashed potatoes, Linguine, and Steamed broccoli. On Friday we will use some leftover chicken for Homemade chicken noodle soup. And the last of the chicken will be used for Quesadillas on Saturday. For now, I am planning to fix Made-to-order breakfast for dinner on Sunday. And on Monday we are going to have Horseradish salmon cakes, Rice, and Salad.
Around the house... are flower beds that are excited about being de-weeded and planted!!! The de-weeder and planter is getting excited, too.
One of my favorite things... is homeschooling. It provides me with such excitement and joy!
A few plans for the rest of the week... Although our church ladies are having a Bunco night tonight, I am choosing to stay home with my family instead. We were gone all weekend and I am ready to hibernate for a few days. Tomorrow I have my *ahem* yearly appointment and the boys have haircuts in the afternoon. We have a field trip to the movie theatre we could go to on Thursday. But, again, I am thinking we'll just skip that one and maybe just get outside for some exercise instead. We don't have any plans for the weekend, or at least I don't (Yayyyyy!!!!) Rick is really hoping to play some golf on Saturday and he and Dawson are going to see Jeff Dunham on Sunday night, which was one of Dawson's birthday presents from back in October. I know the two of them will have a great time! Me and the littles? We'll be relaxing at home. Notice a trend for this week?
