Outside my window... are some type of construction trucks doing some kind of ditching work.
I am thinking... about what we should do about our house in Oklahoma. It's stressful.
I am thankful ... for our cub scout leader. She is so organized and does a great job with the boys. Eli is loving it! And I appreciate the work she puts into it.
I am wearing... gray capri sweats and a blue Medical Mission t-shirt. It's warm today!
I am planning... to put a faux granite finish on my laminate kitchen countertops soon. I hope it turns out good!
I am creating... the finishing touches on Eli and Brynne's ninja Halloween costumes.
I am going... to go pick up Dawson's first public school grade card on Thursday evening. He has done so well this first quarter and I am proud of him! I can't wait to see what his teachers have to say about him.
I am reading... The Other Woman by Hank Phillippi Ryan, Too Wise to be Mistaken, Too Good to be Unkind by Cathy Steere, Journeys of Faithfulness by Sarah Clarkson, Secrets at Sea by Richard Peck (Eli and Brynne's read-a-loud).
I am hoping... that the plans Rick and I discussed this past weekend are a possibility. We just want to move forward with our life.
From the learning rooms... Today we are doing an activity day surrounding the book Little Hoot by Amy Kruse Rosenthal. Tomorrow and Thursday we will begin our studies on Indonesia. And on Friday we are going to get caught up on some nature studies. We have fallen behind the past couple of weeks. Of course we will still be continuing with Bible, grammar, math, literature, P.E., writing, and other general studies.
Noticing that ... blog trends have changed, and I don't like it. It seems that many blogs have more concentration on ad space and reader stats, instead of just sharing their lives. It's boring and mechanical and many of the blogs I used to love have completely lost my interest.
From the kitchen... the little kids and I have been experimenting with international cuisines. As we learn about a geographical area, the kids cook a recipe from that area. That has been our dinner on Thursday nights. There have been some hits, and some misses.
Around the house... are doggies who are glad we are home from our weekend!
One of my favorite things... is a cup of hot green tea.
A few plans for the rest of the week... Other than hand bell choir and dinner at church on Wednesday night, we have no plans. The gas in my car needs to last me until the 1st, so driving will be limited. Besides, a few fall days at home sounds good to me.

Lots of women Daybook. See what they have to say at The Simple Woman's Daybook.
I pray that you resolve your road blocks and can become one household very soon. When the snow flies, you need to be cuddling on the couch with your hubby (and I think he would agree)!
ReplyDeleteHoping and Praying your house situation gets resolved fast!
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of blogs are all about making money know which I think isn't the reason (at least for me) behind blogging. Making money means you are no longer a blog but a website. That is just my thoughts though, so no bashing please :)
I hope my blog isn't one that your talking about? If so please let me know that I've changed!
I will keep you in my prayers as you go through the transition of trying to sell a house while living somewhere else. (been there...done that...and wish that stress on nobody) Remember that through this difficult time, you are doing the right thing for your family. Stay strong!
