FOR TODAY October 5, 2009
Outside my window...
I am writing this at night, so it is dark. It was a rainy weekend. Sunday was sunnier than Saturday (no pun intended) and as we drove home Sunday evening, the rain had stopped, the foliage was at its peak and fog and mist were rolling into the low lying fields....breathtaking!!
I am thinking...
We need new bedtime routines!!! I am hoping that moving into the new house will give us the "fresh start" we need to establish new habits
I am thankful for...
The gift of the Eucharist and the grace available to us in the Sacraments. God is so good and merciful to us.
From the learning rooms...
School has gone fairly smoothly this year. I am still seeing where I would like to add more "fun". With so much soccer, I find it difficult to do the lovely things that strengthen the family bond...tea time, liturgical baking, read alouds, crafts, games...we don't have enough of this happening now
From the kitchen...
It was a very well-received chili for dinner tonight. I think the kids would also like to see more homemade applesauce, apple crisp, apple pie, etc....
I am creating...
Hmmm...not much creative going on right now...lesson plans, and doing some art work along with the kids...watercolor pencils are fun!
I am going...
to bed, ASAP
I am reading...
Lord of the Rings and You Can Become a Saint with my 12th grader.
I am hoping...
to get to Confession this week
I am hearing...
The humidifier humming (colds and sniffles for most of us, already!)
Around the house...
Ugh, boxes, dust, toys...more packing that needs to be done
One of my favorite things...
Watching my boys play soccer and my little girl dance. I also love watching my eldest daughter act, but she's away at college and I don't get to see her performances too often these days.
A few plans for the rest of the week:
Soccer, soccer, soccer. Big high school game on Thursday: Bernard Cup Trophy game versus rival Fall Mtn. Ballet class for Annie, orthodontist for Isaac, backfilling the foundation for the new house, schoolwork, phone calls, Confession!
Be sure to visit Peggy for more daybooks

so wait, are you saying I have to move to get the bedtime thing here fixed?!?!?!!
Wow - incredible picture of foliage on your header - I will have to keep coming back to look at it - beautiful!
I have really enjoyed so many of your posts recently - just no free hands to comment.
Thanks, Marilyn,
Actually (even though I did not take this picture) that covered bridge is just a few minutes drive from where our new house will be. It is really beautiful here this time of year.
Sue -- I'll let you know after we move how the bedtime thing goes...:)
