FOR TODAY March 16, 2009
Outside my window... it is -7 (or 19). Very chilly today. but the sun is shinning and will be for a couple of days :)
I am thinking... about what to do for March break with my kids, I can't make them clean their rooms everyday ;)
I am thankful for... the pump in the septic tank not being broken! The alarm went off last week and we were not sure why. It turns out when we bought the house 9 months ago we assumed that they had pumped and they didn't. So it was not as bad as we had thought.
From the learning rooms...nothing! We are taking a needed break this week.
From the kitchen...sausages, baked potato, and veggies. Most likely some baking too.
I am wearing... pink slippers, tan jean skirt, brown t-shirt and dark pink sweater.
I am creating... unhappy children, That is what happens when they are not expecting to clean rooms on the first day of their break :)
I am going... no where, I love Mondays! :) Hopefully we will have a couple outings this week.
I am reading... Nothing at this moment, I just did my blog entry on the book "Treasuring God in Our Traditions" by Noel Piper. What an awesome book. Check out my post before this one.
I am hoping... to paint tonight :).
I am hearing... my oldest doing some dishes, the arshall family on the cd player and clean up noises from the bedrooms.
Around the house...laundry, baking, cleaning and painting today.
One of my favorite things...new sheets. I don't know why, but new sheets are wonderful to me.
A few plans for the rest of the week... practicing piano, baking, a couple outings, an afternoon of manopoly, and some other games.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
