For today… Wednesday, January 14, 2015
Outside my window... clouds with the sun trying to break through, sorta-white landscape [not a lot of snow that has been blown into drifts leaving bare patches], the Cattleman is hauling a load of wood while some of the cows watch.
Hearing... the Cowgirl just came inside, otherwise quiet. They will watch their Bible class as soon as the Cattleman is finished outside.
Pondering... the first world problem of how to fix my printer. For some reason it thinks I want everything printed in fonts too large to fit the page. Why?
Praying... for Denise, Stef, Jill, and their families; for Tim’s niece Kim who had eye surgery last Thursday; for Kate, Abby, Daniel; for wisdom, diligence, and patience.
Thankful... Daniel arrived safely back to school in spite of missing a flight. Inconvenient but most lessons in life are, yes?
Creating... yet another mess on my desk. I waded through most of it, dealt with a lot of it, but it’s not finished {and to some extent never will be, but it could be better…}
Going... to make a 2014 photo book ~ Shutterfly coupon in this week’s mail {Kohl’s bill} which doesn’t expire until Feb 28
Reading... Joshua, Psalms & Matthew; A Place of Quiet Rest by Nancy Leigh DeMoss; Carson with kiddos for history and almost thru Proverbs with them. I picked up a western by Robert Horton for escape reading – ha.
Looking forward to... a massage {I should call and schedule it!}
In the kitchen... to be determined – ack!
Looking for a balance between family-style old favorites and new recipes that might be better for all of us.
In the learning rooms... Yes! papers checked, assignments planned, classes resumed. whew.
The Cowgirl finished her leftover geometry. The Cattleman finished his physical science course, so now he just needs to focus on catching up with his sister in biology – espec since he is weeks ahead in both algebra and English.
The Cowgirl was just quizzing me about auto insurance for her stewardship class. The Cattleman has been reading and taking notes for a research paper. The Popper is looking forward to writing a research paper again soon {what?}
Around the house... the To Go Pile has taken over the front hallway again. But I have an appointment on my calendar for its removal!
The Mother Load... 1. menu planning?!
Noticing that... the Popper needs a travel destination for this year {since everyone else here seems to have one!}
A favorite quote for today... Finish the job, finish the job, get it done!
One of my favorite things... hydrangeas or violets
Abby found these cupcakes on pinterest {ahem} and sent the pic to share with the Cowgirl
A few plans for the rest of the week... piano lessons/groceries & growing list of errands, chess club for the Cattleman, skiing on local bunny hill?? {not me}
A peek into my world... sundogs last Friday morning
