tuesday's doings

Outside my window...


It's a drizzly one moment, sunny the next kind of day.  This moment the sun is popping out, while raindrops still glisten off the trees.  It is 68 degrees.

I am thinking...

Of change, and thankfulness, and conviction, and mostly just CHANGE.  I'm ready and it's coming.

I am thankful...

For birds that come and sing in my yard.  For coffee that is warm and sweet.  For dogs that smile with their entire selves as they greet me good morning.

In the kitchen...

Sweet tea, hummingbird solution, pancakes for breakfast, banana bread for a treat, spaghetti with sauce from a jar (gasp!) for dinner along with a cucumber, carrot, raisin salad.
 
I am wearing...

Jeans, red/white/blue tank top, curly hair, no makeup

I am creating...


photo CD's for past year's photo's.  I'm all the way up to 2010 now.  My goal is to get all these photo's backed up to CD because when I do, I'm getting a laptop.  Maybe those two things don't seem to go together but in my head, they do.

I am going...

to town later to run some errands and take the boys to swim lessons

I am reading...
 

I'm trying to read The Shack by William Young but time constraints allow me only a page or two every once in awhile.  I think it's going to be good.  I read a little review that compared it to Pilgrim's Progress which is a rather lofty compliment for any book.


I am learning...

Humility when it comes to school lessons with my boys.  It is soooo difficult to not be able to grasp a concept enough to teach it to them, to just reach a point where it's too much.  We've had a difficult couple of weeks in the area of school for many reasons, one being that I have limits.

Around the house...

Today is my one day off this week.  I am forced to use it to catch up on housework.  So, the bathroom is being scrubbed down, the washing machine is running, while the bread is baking and school work is being completed.

One of my favorite things...



 
A few plans for the rest of the week...

Work, church, school, work, swimming lessons, work, school, errands, sleep

  1. Hey, you! I enjoyed reading your post very much and feel more calm and settled in my soul after doing so. I've been running around all morning with the children, picking berries, subs for lunch, and ice cream for a treat. Now it's naptime and we are all enjoy the cool and quiet house.
    I hope and pray you have a lovely afternoon. I know how you feel about the schooling but I think you will be just fine. HUGS
