daybook 2012 ... already a week behind

FOR TODAY
January 10, 2012

Outside my window...
It is cloudy, rainy ...  just plain dreary,
and way too warm for January!

I am thinking...
about letting the kids watch a little "living history" today
(the governor's inauguration)
...which we did and I am glad ...
I am proud of our state at this moment.
The ceremony today looked almost like a church service and even though I am not naive about politics, I think that what was said today sets a good tone for the new governor and his administration.

I am thankful...
for LB's new attitude and diligence when it comes to school work!

In the kitchen...
there are dishes that need to be washed and
 a floor that needs to be swept.
I am planning to try a couple of new recipes for supper tonight ...
 one I came up with myself and one I found on Pinterest.

I am wearing...
the usual ... sweats and a t-shirt

I am creating...
not much at the moment,
I am still working on a granny-square baby blanket that I hope to enter in the fair this year.

I am going...
to get thread to sew the ribbons on LB's new pointe shoes and I think that is it!

I am wondering...
if LB is really going to like taking pointe (otherwise known as toe) dancing.

I am reading...
The Essential One-Hundred Bible Reading Plan
... our pastor has challenged the church to complete these readings together and our family is trying to keep up!

I am hoping...
for a little more winter!

I am looking forward to...
taking the kids to our monthly book report day tomorrow.
Of course, to be honest, I am looking forward to the adult conversation!

I am learning...
just how little I really know.
Around the house...
I have a long list of things that I want to get done this year, but on the top of that list is getting the kids' rooms painted and getting new beds for all three.

A favorite quote for today...
I may not know about tomorrow, but I know who holds my hand
from this song:


One of my favorite things...
singing along with cd's and my family in the car

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Book-It! tomorrow and then maybe some shopping with my Mama, after that, I have no idea!

I keep finding out how little I really know! Every time I think I know it all, something happens to let me know that I actually know almost nothing... ;-)
