- Outside My Window… weird weather… but getting warmer. We had sunny snow today, and above freezing. Yes. Sunny snow is a term… the sun shone through the snow flakes falling. for at least half the day.
- I am thinking… of 11 years ago today… when I married this man who has become more than I dreamed of… who has given me beautiful children, amazing memories and so SO much joy.
- I am thankful for…Bryan. His sense of humor. His unconditional love. His quiet spirit. His unwillingness to react to my emotional outbursts (or lack there of). His uncanny gift of ‘drawing a bath’ at just the right moment.
- From the learning rooms…Workboxes. Games. Test practice on the computer for state testing in another week. Reading. Black Plague.
- From the kitchen… I made bean & cheese quesadillas for the kids… which they are now eating in front of “Chip & Dale”. Bryan is peeling shrimp to go with our steak and mushrooms… which we will eat after we put the kids in bed! 🙂
- I am wearing…Jeans, white long-sleeved T under a summer shirt.
- I am creating… more white space in our days. more white space in our home.
- I went…to an annual meeting today for the Dunamis group I lead worship for quite often… If every churchy annual meeting were like these, I wouldn’t cringe at the thought of going to them… I love how the Spirit moves.
- I am reading… 2 John Holt books… (he is the one who coined the term unschooling, I think)
- I am hoping… still… to have the major projects done before the baby comes. Still hoping…
- I am hearing…Chip and Dale. and chatting with Bryan while I type and he works 🙂
- Around the house… Kitchen is mostly finished… at least entirely usable. Bathroom… its coming. We use the toilet and sinks!! 🙂
- One of my favorite things… the technology of texting we recently discovered… It is so great on hard days… Bryan and I text each other constantly. Sometimes desperate for prayer. Sometimes flirting and making each other laugh and blush. Sometimes udpating on the routine aspects of life.
- A Few Plans For Next Week: OB appointment. More ‘white-spacing’. Make a few things to put in the freezer for after the baby comes.
No picture thoughts today… the ‘picture’ computer is being backed-up and de-virused. Plus, Bryan needs my help with dinner… its time to go be together.
