FOR TODAY
November 16th, 2009

Outside my window... a typical Portland Fall day: grey with rain off and on

I am thinking... I need to get my laptop in to be repaired and pick up a few things

I am thankful for... my husband. I need to find a way to let him know how much I appreciate all he does.

From the learning rooms... finishing CCD homework in-between the running around and heading out for CCD. RCC review would be good too. I need to get the timeline up too, maybe that would be a good evening project.

From the kitchen... the kids are finishing their malt-o-meal and whenever I get back from errands I need to get the lasagne together for dinner tonight.


I am wearing... a navy shirt, pajama pants and my ugly shoes (most people call them generic Crocs). I forgot to lay out clothes last night and had to wait for the little girls to wake up so I could get them - and since the only working computer is now in the bedroom, I figured I'd stop and throw this post up before getting dressed and out the door.


I am creating... in theory an outline/curriculum for the pro-life group, an outline for summer vacation bible school (I may be able to get paid for this if I can get it done before Christmas).


I am going... to several stores, CCD and ballet. Elora esp looks forward to this day all week long. I'm supposed to have treats for her to share with her friends to celebrate her birthday... hmm... need to work on that.


I am reading... Cabinet of Curiosities by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, my favorite authors. I think this is the 4th time I've read this book. I just finished my 5th reading of Relic and 4th reading of Thunderhead also books of theirs. I think Relic is my favorite.


I am hoping... that I can get at least 2 or 3 things done on my To Do list this week - the things that I've had on there for the last 6+ months.


I am hearing... the kids talking in the living room, the baby telling them about the pictures in the book she found and Elora getting ready for ballet - she cannot wait!


Around the house... the house is almost clean because we had guests this weekend, so the kids should be able to get their chores done quickly and with minimal complaining.


One of my favorite things... going to bed early enough to read for a while and then get up at 6am without feeling over-tired.


A few plans for the rest of the week: Book group, helping my dad at his place, packing summer clothes and unpacking winter clothes, a few things on my To Do list - maybe going through and starting to get rid of extra clothes and/or cleaning out the garage some more, picking Jeff up at the airport!


Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

Jeff's dad and brother came for a short visit. It was very enjoyable.
