outside my window........ sunny, but very cold
i am thinking............about how i wish there wasn't so much to be done
i am thankful for..........trees full of yummy oranges, heat, healthy kids, a husband who finally went back to work, a functioning washer, true friends, beautiful places to visit that are really close by
from the kitchen............vanilla yogurt with frozen blueberries, a new recipe i am going to try out for flax seed and garlic crackers, chicken with brown rice and veggies for dinner
in our schoolroom.............a mess of material, folded laundry, coloring pages, pencils, but not too bad really, today we'll discuss a visit we had from the department of food and agriculture regarding fruit fly traps
i am creating.............3 pairs of fingerless gloves/hand warmers, a few potholders, and some pretty new dishtowels and a new apron
i am going........................to write out a grocery store list, to check for ingredients we'll need for our king's cake
i am wearing................layers-an olive green lacy tank top, black baby doll top and grey sweater, jeans, striped teal, olive, brown, green, blue and beige socks
i am reading..................a mother's rule of life (again), marshmallow to my little one
i am hoping.................to find our epiphany chalk to do the house blessing tomorrow, to take another trip up to my parent's mountain house for more pictures
i am hearing................scissors, cutting, the cats being fed, running, lots of boy noises: fighting, jumping, etc.
around the house................it's messy, but mostly just picking up and putting away to do. i'll be tackling the big stuff room by room, day by day for the next week. it can be overwhelming to think of the house as ONE project. better to do it little by little.
one of my favorite things...............yarn
a few plans for the rest of the week................epiphany tomorrow, lesson plans based on the liturgical year, focus on math and reading, getting rid of some junk
