FOR TODAY: Monday February 9th, 2009...

Outside My Window...the sun is trying very hard to break through the overcast skies. It is very cold outside. Brrrrrr.

I am thinking...about all the things I would like to do in the house this week. Mainly, de-cluttering and cleaning.

I am thankful for... knowing of my severe Vitamin D and ferritin deficiency. I am hoping that I will have energy soon and am thankful that there is an explanation for my lack of pep that isn't too serious.

From the kitchen... Pot Roast, wedge potatoes and veggies tonight. Hopefully leftovers tomorrow. Tacos on Wednesday. Thurs and Fri are still a mystery.

I am wearing... capris! Why? I'm freezing but they fit and were clean and available. I'm also wearing a brown hoody and of course lilac Uggs. I am a sight to behold!!

I am creating... a revision of the wedding invitation for David and Kristina. I also want to sew up a few skirts.

I am going...to the library later and on a few errands. The girls are invited to a pool birthday party and I'm positive their suits no longer fit. I've heard Costco has swimsuits right now. I hope it's true!

I am reading... verses about Sarah in the Bible, my nighttime devotional and I finally finished The Hobbit!!!

I ordered myself a book titled, "Nourishing Traditions" and I hope it comes this week.

I am hoping... for rapid improvement for my son's eye issues.

I am hearing... two kids having a snack in the kitchen and my other child taking a shower.

Around the house... I made a new batch of detergent up this weekend so laundry here we come.
We are giving away lots of old toys that the kids have outgrown. We are definitely in a new season around here.

One of my favorite things... getting together and having fellowship with women from our church. Saturday was such a blessing to me!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: The usual lessons for the kids (ballet, violin etc...)
and my Mom (Nana) comes back on Wednesday night so I'm sure we'll be busy catching up with her and hearing all about her trip.

Picture Thought:

This was an often played with toy in our house. The kids used to stage all kinds of shows to entertain us. When this was first given to us, my daughter would stand well short of those white stars in the middle of the curtain.

Now she is taller than the entire thing.

Where did the time go?

Edited to add: I forgot to mention our "Learning rooms" information is posted on my daily blog at Mishmash Maggie.
