Monday!

monday. march 23, 2008

outside my window: sun is setting. clear looking sky. everything is sure grey here, i'm ready to see green.

i am thinking: of decorating for easter, very soon. shopping for seeds. planning this years garden.

from the learning room: teaching multiplication of improper fractions. and, trying to justify the little bit of schooling tommie got done today. he spent the day with my mom. i sat in the emergency room with my in-laws. we think my father-in-law had a mini-stroke. yes lisa, you just met him at my house.

i am thankful for: that my neck and shoulder pain is history.

from the kitchen: zero. well, leftover carry-out applebee's containers.

i am wearing: blue jeans, khaki cable sweater, no jewelry. barely any make-up. it's been a long day in the e.r.

i am reading: still reading the queen's fool.

i am hoping: for a productive homeschool week, this week. i'm giving tommie one full week off next week...his cousins will be coming in from out of state and staying for a whole week!!! he doesn't know this yet. he'd be doing twirly-birds and somersaults all week long!

i am creating: i'm thinking and planning another penny rug...something with an easter theme.

i am hearing: about natasha richardson's funeral. so sad.

around the house: very quiet night. tommie and brad went up to the hospital to visit grandpa/dad. i would of...but, i've been there all day. and, it's kind of a nice father-son-grandpa memory. hot shower coming up. then settling in for the night.

one of my favorite things: well, yeah...besides getting comments? maybelline mascara. noxema. the smell of laundry drying. that second cup of coffee.

a few plans for the rest of the week: hospital visits, scouts, michigan history, family ( with my aunts) fieldtrip on friday, tommie crosses into boy scouting on saturday! big day.
