For Today...May 4, 2009

Outside My Window...an off and on day with the sun. It seems to getting cloudier. Maybe we'll get a bit of rain. The birds are very busy at all the houses. They have been squabbling over the prime boxes. It will be interesting to see who ends up where.

I am thinking...how I can change things to make my life simpler. I do not do well with so much on the go. I also need to figure out how to streamline the house more. Sort and hoe, sort and hoe!
I am thankful for...modern technology. I enjoy the simple life, but also realize the value of the technologies that make my life more interesting and fun. I enjoy having access to the world.
From the learning rooms...back to the books this week. Taking two weeks off has refreshed us and everyone did well getting back to our school time schedule.
From the kitchen...nothing yet. I haven't done any cooking yet and haven't come up with dinner plans yet.
I am wearing...a purple t-shirt, gray sweats and a white floral long-sleeved shirt.
I am creating...I have not worked on anything this week except one of my BOM embroidery projects. Hopefully with us settling in again after Gabe's injury, I will have time and inclination to get back to work.
I am going...to make the most of our situation and rejoice that God has put us exactly where we are. This is a tough one for me.
I am reading...very little this week. Not a lot of leisure time for reading right now.
I am hoping...for God's continued prodding. I feel things are on the move.
I am hearing...Gabe on the computer. The younger children playing in the toy room...hmm and one child not sounding quite so happy.
Around the house...projects needing attention, laundry to fold and schoolwork yet to be done for the day.
One of my favorite things...a fresh new day everyday! The possibilities are almost endless.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...more doctor visits, one child has outpatient surgery and a temporary leaving.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing... Chess is the game of choice these days. Gabe is getting quite good, but Bess always gives him a good game.
