FOR TODAY March 16, 2009...
Outside my window... There is a bright, shining thing in the sky. I think it is called "the sun". It's still pretty cold, but will hopefully warm up and be beautiful like this weekend was. So very happy spring is on its way...
I am thinking... How difficult teenage boys are...sigh.....
I am thankful for... difficult teenage boys, college girls traveling Europe, little rambunctious boys and a sick little girl...and their daddy!
From the learning rooms...reading and maps about the Louisiana Purchase, Iditarod lapbook, St. Paul lapbook, Teaching Textbook math
Stories about St. Patrick and St. Joseph and more
From the kitchen...Faith & Family's "Bailey's Irish Cream cheesecake" for St. Paddy's Day
I am wearing...PJs still
I am going...to make a doctor appointment for little sick girl
I am reading...In Conversation with God, Magnificat Lenten supplement, The Mystery of Harry Potter by Nancy C. Brown (I want to figure this Potter thing out for myself!)
I am hoping... we all start feeling better soon
I am hearing... just the whirr of the computer, my sick little girl is being very quiet and the others are at co-op
Around the house...UGH. After a very busy weekend, this house is a wreck! Today needs to be a regrouping day...clean house, pay bills, write lesson plans. I have a hard time schooling and being productive when my surroundings are in a shambles.
One of my favorite things...Friday evening stations of the cross with our special candle ceremony
A few plans for the rest of the week: Doctor's appointment with little girl, doctor's appointment with hubby for his rheumatoid arthritis, shamrock shakes, corned beef and cabbage, the above mentioned cheesecake, cleaning, purging and organizing...
Here is picture thought I am sharing...

I miss her so much!!
Can't wait until May 1 when she comes home!
