For Today: March 1, 2010I am thankful for... Graham asking to play with tractors, which lead to Zeke finding our ‘Uncle Josh’s Outline Maps CD-ROM’ under a stack of 3 large Rubbermaid tubs - unbroken. The little stinker who put it there should be thankful I didn’t catch ‘the little stinker’ in the act!
I am reading… ‘Introduction to the Devout Life’ … barely … at least I’m caught up on my one page a day commitment.
I am hoping... the head cold I woke up with this morn goes away just as quickly.
I am hearing... sounds of sword play from Zeke & Graham, pencil scratching and then erasing across the pages from Dash who is taking his time doing MATH.
I am wearing… comfy worn jeans and a bright orange sweat-shirt.
From the sewing/craft room (aka. laundry room!)… while checking out another resource on CurrClick – Curriculum on a Click, I found a FREE quilting magazine. If you’re a member (and membership is free), search for ‘Cotton Spice Quilting Magazine’. It’s absolutely cute, filled with adorable patterns, and also features quilting stories.
From the school room... Zeke finished up the dictation exercises in Sound Beginnings – he was thrilled! He started Writing Can Help: Level A and is excited to be working toward cursive writing. That he is excited is exciting for ME!
From the kitchen... we’ve all been enjoying home-made bread this week. The bread machine usage has definitely increased the past couple months!
State of the house… it’s in a state and let’s leave it at that.
A successful moment… I am once again caught up on personal finance and filing!
Lenten Musings & Observations… One of our family sacrifices is to eat from our pantry and NOT purchase any cold cereals (think Quaker Scooters, Crispy Rice, Special K, Raisin Bran, etc.) during Lent. This might not seem like a big deal to most, but our kids get up VERY early and cereal is the easiest breakfast for the kids to prepare themselves, thus letting parents sleep until a reasonable waking hour … that’s 6:30/7:00am around here. They’ve been very good about spreading out our pre-Lenten supply, but this past Saturday I opened the remaining box of cold cereal.
A few plans for the rest of the week…
Monday: The Valley City Winter Show is this week; hubby will be attending for work. The boys and I will head to the library while Angelina is at dance tonight.
Thursday: I have a mtg. in Fargo this evening, so Louis and I will make the trek there and back. Thank goodness he’s been a good traveler.
Friday/: Dash & Angelina will compete in the State 4-H crop judging contest at the Winter Show. The youngest boys and I may go into town for the award ceremony.
Saturday/Sunday: If plans hold, Eric will take the oldest three skiing on Saturday. Eric leaves Sunday afternoon for a week-long meeting … AGAIN!
A picture memory...

ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to that quilting magazine. Even though I don't quilt, yet, I long for the day that I finally sew one! =)
Thank you for the well wishes ... I think soup is in order for tomorrow. I crave hot veggie soup and know it will make me feel better, too.
ReplyDeletePoor Suzie!
ReplyDeleteSoup and rest. At least you can have one of those things, right? ;)
Prayers for being all healed up soon. By Friday. Or else.
