Outside my window... at 5:30 this morning, was a meowing Clifford who had been left outside all night. He was sure happy to come back in!
I am thinking... about proud I am of Kyndal for taking such good care of herself and for making good, responsible decisions.
I am thankful ... that we are having a MUCH less busier week this week! Last week about killed me.
I am wearing... a cream colored shirt with gray and gold swirlies on it, skinny jeans, and tan Rocket Dog shoes. Oh, and menthol stick-on heating pads on my lower back because I pulled it when picking up a box of clothes.
I am planning... to plant a few veggies this weekend.
I am creating... dressers and closets with summer clothes instead of winter, and lists of new summer clothes needed.
I am going... to take Dawson to the dentist this afternoon, and then go to the post office to mail Easter cards to Kyndal and my grandma. (I originally did this post this morning, and I had a long list of errands I was planning to do. But when I went into town to drop off Buck for his grooming appointment, I ran over a screw and it got stuck in my tire. I had to go to Walmart to have it repaired, which took two hours. So I did the only thing I knew to do ... went shopping while I waited. After my car was fixed, I went to the library, picked up Buck, and came home.)
I am reading... How the Other Half Lives by Jacob A. Riis, City of Orphans by Avi (Dawson's daily read-a-loud), The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (Brynne's daily read-a-loud), Stepping Heavenward by E. Prentiss (my daily devotional).
I am hoping... that Eli is as excited about coming home to school next year as I am. I cannot wait to have him here!
From the learning rooms... We are just working really hard, trying to get the necessaries done so that we can celebrate a fun month of learning in May.
Noticing that ... that I had some annuals (petunias, vinca vines) that are coming back up after winter, and that my hydrangea, that I thought was dead, has new shoots!
From the kitchen... we are eating some yummy, healthy foods this week, with a concentration on veggies and fruits. It has been so good!
Around the house... the mosquitoes are INSANE! The mild, no-freeze winter is going to make the bug population ridiculous this year.
One of my favorite things... is gardening, both vegetable and flower.
A few plans for the rest of the week... Just a few errands and appointments, but nothing outrageous. We do have a curriculum sale at Co-op on Friday, and I hope I can pick up a few things I need. Of course Easter is Sunday, so we will be celebrating the resurrection of our Lord. I am hoping to finish up some clothes organization and work in my gardens. The kids are just enjoying outside time. Even Dawson has been getting out in the evenings to take Crusoe for a run. Rick will be fitting in some golf, I am sure. Easy days right now.

ReplyDeletesorry to hear about your tire, walmart always takes so long to do that stuff. I think it's so they have you stuck and you'll spend more money ;)
