For Today: Monday, November 15, 2010 – Feast of St. Albert the Great
Looking out from my back porch... it’s a grey day. Trees are bare and the garden is completely cleared, now.
I am thinking about... my list. I always have a list going in my head of the things I want to get done in each day or by the end of the week.
I am thankful for...my health; the health of my family; the fact that we haven’t hit any deer (and they haven’t run into us) during all our night driving sessions, the flock of chickens, being almost done with gift shopping, the coming Advent season.
I am reading... ‘Knitting for Dummies’ and another beginning knitting book. I’ve actually had ‘Knitting for Dummies’ for quite some time, so this is the second time around for the first couple chapters.
I am hoping... for a productive and complaint-free week.
I am hearing... the sounds of pages being turned by Dash (he’s working/reading through the Latin text).
From the sewing/craft room (aka. laundry room!)... I am working on knitting a satchel/bag for myself or Angelina. And, we have lots of laundry to be washed after being gone over the weekend.
From the school room... progress! Working to get the kids up to Week 11 in some subjects so that we can end the semester on Week 16.
From the kitchen... baked another batch of pound cake last night; it’s nice to have something sweet in the freezer and the recipe uses six eggs.
State of the house... cleaning the house is a goal for this week. We’ve been gone so much, the house has suffered (which means the mom is suffering, too!). It would be soooo much easier if all residents picked up their belongings or threw trash in the trash – what an idea!
A successful moment... after this weekend, I am almost done with gift shopping. I even got a few good deals for upcoming birthdays.
A few plans for the rest of the week…
Monday: Home all day! I do want to get outside and check the chickens – the Wyandotte’s like to peck tail feathers, so I treated ALL of them with a natural spice spray about 2 weeks ago.
Tuesday: Dance for Angelina
Wednesday: Domestic Diva Day (ie. cleaning)
Thursday: Domestic Diva Day & possibly family pictures
Friday/Saturday/Sunday: Possibly family pictures, Cleaning, and a 4-H meeting
A picture memory...
November 5th of 2009, we brought home a new baby boy. It’s really hard to believe it was more than a year ago, already. He’s such a source of joy for us all; we can’t imagine life without him!
Enjoy your Monday.
ReplyDeleteOur babies are growing up so fast but like you said...cannot imagine life without them. They bring so much joy and fun.
