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!
