FOR TODAY : January 12, 2008
Today is Christopher’s 10th birthday. He has grown from a rolly-polly baby to a lean, tall and handsom young man.
Outside my Window – The weather has shifted to a grey rain soaked mess. This week it is supposed to warm up a little and dry everything off. The fruit apple tree is looking a littl mossy, the roses need to be pruned. Sort of bleak.
I am thinking – Despite the sogginess outside this might be a pretty good week. I have a good idea what I want to get done, it is just a matter of getting to it.
From the learning rooms – This week is my first of four rethinking and retooling weeks.
I am thankful for- Email. It is such a nice way to keep in touch with friends.
From the kitchen – A new crockpot.
I am wearing – Brown slacks and a white top.
I am reading – On Basilisk Station
I am hoping – That I get to pulling up the horrible, evil, once-upon-a-time was white, carpet up this week.
I am creating – Some new lesson plans
I am hearing – The children playing.
Around the house –Why does it seem like all the light bulbs go out at once. We changed four yesterday and I see another one.
One of my favorite things – My full spectrum light.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week – Getting back full into the homeschool day routine. Finishing up my new planner.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you –

Be careful because in one blink of an eye that ten year old will be 16!
Thank you for your kind comment on my daybook today! 🙂
We have “once upon a time white carpet” too—in our dining room. Horrors! It is the only carpeted room in the house, and we will be pulling it up soon, too. It just doesn’t work in our house.
Your “40 Bags” challenge is a great idea. I have been trying to dejunk but I think I’ve kept it too unstructured so I’m not making enough progress.
Have a great week!

Thanks for visiting my daybook. I’m so happy to meet a fellow Catholic!
Happy birthday to your dear young man!! I think we may have that very same “once upon a time white carpet” throughout our primary living areas! Oh, what I’d give to replace it with hardwood!!
Happy birthday Christopher. I hope you get some sun this week to brighten things up. LOL in my last house all my light bulbs would go out at once too!
