OUTSIDE MY WINDOW...winter sunshine

I AM THINKING...how nice it was to make it to the evening church service last night (it's so relaxing and comfy to go to church at night in your jeans, sweatshirt and your hair in a ponytail)...just to listen and learn a little more about Jesus

I AM THANKFUL FOR...Brian's return home. Each time he is away, I realize how blessed I am to have a husband who helps me so much.

FROM THE LEARNING ROOMS...The capture and return of the Ark of the Covenant, the early Greeks, Goats and letter "Gg"

FROM THE KITCHEN...oreos and milk for tea time...3 Ways for dinner

I AM WEARING...Gray fleece pants and Liberty University Tee (I think I've written that once or twice on my daybook)

I AM CREATING...a good reading list for myself, I've only been reading Homeschool books, and stuff for the kid's school...any suggestions out there? I'm thinking Sense and Sensiblity...

I AM GOING...to Kylie's 1st ballet class in almost 7 years tomorrow, she's sooo excited, I hope she enjoys it as much as she hopes to!

I AM READING...a little bit of way too many books...

I AM HOPING...Brian doesn't get orders to go overseas any time soon...TJ's ears heal...Kylie's back has healed properly...Benny learns to sleep...Korinne never changes...Wesley grows out of the terrible twos SOON (he's not even 2 yet:)...Connor continues to read and write without my asking him to...

I AM HEARING...Connor plead his case for candy, and the windchimes my sister gave me as a wedding gift almost 11 years ago

AROUND THE HOUSE...laundry to put away (I don't think I can do a daybook entry without writing that), mine and Brian's room desperately needs tidied up and dusted

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...my homemade sink scrubbies and dishcloths my MIL got me for Christmas

A FEW PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK...ballet starts back up for the girls, we're going to try and go to the Youth Night at church Wednesday, I have some phone calls I need to make to our health insurance peeps...ugh...a library trip

HERE IS A PICTURE THOUGHT TO SHARE WITH YOU...

#1 AND #5

P.S. Lainie, When I'm writing my daybook, it's all spaced out and nice, then when I "Preview" or "Publish" it, it gets all combloberated together...help...email me...tell me what my little non-techy brain needs to know :)

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW...An icestorm warning

I AM THINKING...

I AM THANKFUL FOR...TJ's new ENT, Dr. Jiu

FROM THE LEARNING ROOMS...A great start to the new year...we got everything finished for today...Creation to the Greeks, Week 19...and Kindergarten Unit #11 "Ii", Insects

FROM THE KITCHEN...Brian made tacos while TJ and I were at his doctor's appointment

I AM WEARING...Jeans, black shirt, navy blue socks (of course, what other color socks do you wear with jeans???)

I AM CREATING...A new look for our schoolroom

I AM GOING...nowhere in this icestorm!

I AM READING...Ruth

I AM HOPING...The Buckeyes win so Brian comes to bed happy

I AM HEARING...The Buckeyes lose...woe is me!

AROUND THE HOUSE...I've spent a lot of time organizing our Schoolroom, I still may post some before and after pics...if I can create something inspirational...

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...Spending some time alone with each one of the kids...it was just me and TJ this afternoon at his appointment, and he had so much to say...makes me wonder if most times I'm just not listening...motherguilt...motherof6guilt...

A FEW PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK...We are mainly focusing on school this week...we're doing things a little different with the start of the new year!

HERE IS A PICTURE THOUGHT I'M SHARING...My parents visited this weekend, here they are with my babies at the bowling alley...what fun!
