What is all around YOU today?

 

I SEE: 

My living room. 

Needs to be vaccuumed, but otherwise tidy.  I am sitting in the middle of the big, blue couch with Jordan doing his Math-U-See test on my left and Kaitlyn flipping through her school planner on my left.  The dog's rope toy is on the rug in front of me and the there are a stack of DVDs on the entertainment center shelf that need to be returned. 

 

I HEAR: 

Not much. 

 Kaitlyn and Jordan are being pretty quiet. 

 I can hear Jordan hicupping! 

 I can hear the tap, tap, tapping of my fingers on this keyboard and kind of a whooshy sound...  I think it is the fridge or some other electrical appliance noise...  or maybe a combination of appliance noises throughout the house.  BOY!  is it going to be noisy around here again when all 5 children are being homeschooled again! 

 

I SMELL: 

Nothing discernable...  no bad or good odors really.  Just fresh, clean air!

 

I TASTE: 

Well, I have not had breakfast yet, but it is going to be a whey protein smoothy!

 

I FEEL:

 (physically): 

The keyboard under my fingers.

The warmth of the laptop on my knees.

My hair tickling my neck.

Coldness of my bare feet.

The softness of the couch against my aching back.

The chapped-ness of my lips! (need some chap stick)

 

(emotionally): 

Sadness from reading that a ill baby I was praying for has passed away. 

Joy that my children will be out of school in only 5 1/2 more school days.

Stress and excitement that recital is TOMORROW!

Let's see:
I see: a mess on my desk by the computer, I really need to sort some mail! The living room is freshly vacuumed, homework is on the table waiting to be completed after lunch. The pictures of my kiddoes are to my right in front of me, I love looking into those little faces.
I hear: The radio,"...the day that love made history...you know you can't stay.....something something...leave it all behind you, let it always remind you of the day, the day that love made history.." I don't know who sings it. And I hear typing behind me, my 7 year old is working on something at the computer. My oldest, 18, is talking to him while he works, answering questions. And I hear my typing as I click away at this computer.
I smell: LUNCH! I'm getting hungry. We are fixing my husband's easy one dish meal of ground beef, green beans, corn, and green chile. We'll eat it with tortillas. It smells like chile, the clear spicy smell of it.
I taste: Nothing yet, but I can almost taste the green chile!
I feel: These keys under my fingers, my feet against the floor. The comfort of this big old computer chair.
My feelings feel: Glad that it is Friday. A little stressed about our annoying car accident, but it's the end of the week, I am focused on enjoying a quiet weekend at home. :-) We are stuck at home until we get a rental from the insurance. My back and neck are still sore, although I feel very thankful for the help of a chiropractor because I am feeling much, much better than I did a few days ago. I feel blessed...that I have my family, every last one of them, and that without vehicles, we have this great home to hang out in, books to read through, music to listen to, and each other to be with all day, every day. I thank God for my little family.
I hope I remember it all. I also hope and pray that you are having a wonderful day. Thanks for stopping at my blog, I feel less alone knowing that your son has done similar things after the "education" of an accident! God love them, they sure do keep us on our toes!!!!

So see my little Precious all that she is learning and thinking another mommy had to lay hers down to rest with out getting to see all that just breaks my heart. But knowing is battle is over is comforting!!

Your post reminded me of one of my all time favorite movies the bells of St. Mary. The six senses to see, to hear, to smell, to taste, to touch and the sixth sense... common sense.

Hope all is going well! Blessings ~

Oh man! I have heard good things about this book!! Here goes:

I SEE:
My living room.
My little big boy is sitting on the couch across from me in swimsuit and sweaty waiting for sister so they can go on the slip and slide in the back yard.
My black dog sitting so quietly next to me just watching brother.
Spy toys on the coffee table with game boy and blanket in the floor from another time of cuddling.
Big comfy green couch that I love to relax on.
Big green trees in the back yard blowing so pleasantly


I SMELL:
nothing really. In my mind however, I am wanting to smell choc. chip cookies.


I HEAR:
My little girl telling her brother she needed to wear a undershirt under her bathing suit so she would not show her...you know...breasts. (WHAT? you mean she knows that word? age 6)
The door shut as the kids go outdoors chatting
The dog running and whinning that he isn't going out with them
Water running.
Fan turning
tapping of my fingers on the keyboard

I FEEL:
Tired but restful
a bit warm
comfy couch under toosh

emotionally - a bit spent, still sadness about my grandfather's passing and how grandmother is doing, sad that my son is already 9 years old but happy for him at the same time
majorly in love with my hubby. Our many changes seemt o have just brought us closer.
Thankful to God for family, friends, His love,
Hopeful that I am about to win a really cool book. wink wink
Very happy that I have internet connection again so I can blog!

What I see
In front of me is the computer screen...with lots and lots of papers...now weather they are important or not I do not know...Which by the way have been long past their due of cleaning up.
The kitchen to my right...with tons of dishes in the sink and on the counter that despratly needs to be cleaned.
Kids watching "Fetch" on PBS television on my right. My little sister on the floor laying down taking a nap that unexpectedly creeped up on her.

I hear

I hear the TV in the background mixed with the sound of the radio, with Martha Hadley on talking about prayer requests.
The sound of the keyboard clicking away,
The sound of my little sisters and brothers laughing, and chewing on their lunch...
The sound of dogs playing in the living room.
The sound of my little brother snoring as he naps.
The sound of paper rustling as kids do their school

I smell
Chicken as it gets ready for dinner tonight, The fart my dog just passed,
other than that nothing



I taste
the leftover taste of the rice and brocoli that I had for lunch
and little remains of The milk that I had for breakfast

I feel (physically)
sleepiness creeping in...especially now that I have warm food in my stomach, and it being really hot outside, (waking up at 6 am probably has something to do with that too)
my now moist lips...that just got treated with chapstick...
my cold feet, now that a good breeze brushed thru the window
My aching fingers after writing 2 papers for school, and now typing
The sweat in my armpits that is wanting to build up to the point of spilling down my sides.
the rise and fall of my chest with every breath that I take

(emotionally)
happiness that I have finished school for the day
sadness that the best horse I ever rode died on saturday
unciertanty and sadness that I may have to get rid of my puppy whom I raised by hand
worry that I will not be able to afford to put my dog in the kennel when we go out of town in July
excitedness that summer is here, and I am going to 2 camps and a homeschool convention and to see my family in Ks
sorrow, and conviction that I did not do devotions this morning and put other things before God.
impatience to get off the computer and clean my room

Hope I got everything!
