For Monday August 31, 2009

Outside my window… Eww eww eww.  There is so much outside work to be done before we go back to *that other place* to stay live.  Gutters need to be cleaned (we don’t own a ladder), mowing needs to be done around trees and such, some of the brick areas need to be washed down, shrubs and trees need to be pruned back a bit…and that doesn’t even include what needs to be done *inside*.  We have this tiny window of time to get things done before we leave again.  Then, HE will be gone for a while and ACK!

I am thinking… about how I wish I could get off of this “Having a bad day” track that I’ve been on for the past week or two and go back to less stress and be more relaxed and happy.  I’m really disappointed right now in people in general.

I am thankful for… Amanda, Janice, and my mom.  Without them, my actual birthday would have completely sucked.

From the learning rooms… We’re beginning some of the Preschool curriculum.  We aren’t hitting it terribly hard, just trying to introduce L to things and have fun with it.  She’s pretty eager to learn and has been practicing her ABCs (although has a while before she has those completely down), other songs, counting to 10, recognizing colors and circles, and drawing circles and lines. 

From the kitchen… Wait.  We have a kitchen?  Hmph.  We’ve been gone so much, I almost forgot.  We need to reorganize some things so our dry food FITS in the cabinets instead of on the counter top.

I am wearing… shorts and a t-shirt

I am creating… Tiles.

I am going… to Walmart.  We can do without paper towels, but NOT without toilet paper.  There is only so far I will go!  Plus we need weed-eater cord and bread.  This will probably be the extent of our shopping trip

I am reading… magazines and blogs.  My brain is too fuzzy for much else currently.

I am hoping… to have a WONDERFUL day today.

I am hearing… Rora squealing

Around the house… We are finishing up some work we are doing independently so we can pay a couple of bills and then run a quick errand just to come back home and…WORK!

One of my favorite things… is time with the girls.  I really need it lately.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Work from home, some homeschooling, yard work, Pampered Chef party, Bible study, Sir’s MRI, work in the office and meetings, and oh…the list goes on!

Here is picture thought I’d share… My sweet cats, both need homes…

Welcome back!
