Monday 11/24/08 Thankful

Outside my window...it looks like snow.

I am thinking...how I was told (by a very good friend) how I need to not focus on what I can't have but to be thankful for the little things I do have.

I am thankful for...my kids and my friend.

From the learning rooms...I am learning that it's ok to take care of me, too.

From the kitchen...I know that I need to get back in there and make bread dough ;)

I am wearing...jeans, a button up shirt and my apron.

I am creating...my Thanksgiving dinner.

I am going...to get back to work in a few minutes.

I am reading...poems.

I am hoping...for some peace.

I am hearing...Who I am by Wade Bowen on my computer.

Around the house...there is so much to be done. I need to straighten up and get my cooking/baking done.

One of my favorite things...is to talk with my kiddos about what is important to them. And chatting with my friend.

A few plans for the rest of the week: work on this house; bake/cook; laundry; Thanksgiving here at home Thursday; Black Friday shopping, Christmas decorating/wrapping gifts & Thanksgiving for dh's family Friday;

Here is picture thought I am sharing...



Anyone ready for Pecan Pie??

These are supposed to be done Monday, but I forgot to do it on Monday.

Outside My Window...the birds are chirping.

I am thinking...that I need to get up and get moving.

I am thankful for...my children, each and every day, no matter if they are on a mission to drive me crazy:)

From the kitchen...I know my dishes are done and my counter is clutter-free and ready for me to get to work in there. Today I plan to OAMC some breakfasts.

I am wearing...a peach t-shirt and gray capris.

I am creating...a plan for oamc'ing breakfasts for those crazy back-to-school mornings.

I am going...to start running through our am & pm routines starting next monday, so that they won't be such a shock when school starts (4 weeks from Monday).

I am hoping...for my kids to have a wonderful school year and learn lots of new things.

I am hearing...my kids snore:) so much more peaceful than them arguing:)

Around the house...I am thinking things don't look too bad, if I can just keep up with my dailies:)

One of my favorite things...is getting up early before everyone else, to have a little peace in my day, before it gets crazy.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: get through my zone 4, and catch up on some other projects.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...



This is Rory at Brea's water day at school in May. She gets so excited when she goes potty without help. So, she comes running out of the classroom and says (in a big voice) I went potty ALL BY MYSELF!!! And jumps up and down. This is a pic I captured. I think she looks like my mini little sumo wrestler, LOL.

I am creating...a Christmas notebook plan, trying to go through it once before class starts next month. I am also trying to create a clean, decluttered home to raise my family in.

I am going...to be organized this Christmas, have things done ahead of time and enjoy the extra time with my children.

I am reading...proverbs 31 and my Christmas books.

I am hoping...to be in a new (bigger) house by the start of school next year.
