Daybook

Outside my window ... gray skies and thunder

I am thinking ... that I am worn out from a full day of dentist appointments and errands.

 

I am thankful for ... my family, especially my kind, well-mannered and grateful children.

From the learning rooms ... Not much on the home front yet (other than all that Unschooling that's been going on), but looking forward to getting going soon.  As for all the other learning stuff we've got going on this year, we're officially in full swing.  The girls started their Homeschool Theater Troupe this week and also started their Handwork group this week.  Time to start practicing for their skits and knitting away.  

From the kitchen ... Kitchen is pretty bare at the moment, to be honest. 

I am wearing ...Shorts and a t-shirt

I am creating ... a mess.  I've been trying to organize school and life paper junk, but keep not finishing and having to pile it all up in order to make dinner or something.  So, mostly I've just been making it worse.

I am going ... nowhere for the next couple of days (other than the farmer's market).  I need to get things in order to get going with our academic lessons.

I am wondering ... when life is going to settle down and run smoothly.  HA, never, right?

I am reading ... To Kill a Mockingbird and homeschool stuff online.

I am hoping ... to get myself into a routine and get a little better organized.

I am looking forward to ... Fall!

I am hearing ... silence.  And, it is lovely!

Around the house ... chaos, it seems.  Animals and kids and papers and bills and tiny little paychecks, oh my.

I am pondering ...  how to focus on the things I can control instead of the things I can't.

One of my favorite things ... Sundays ~ my hubby is off and football is on!

A few plans for the rest of the week:

• a major trip to the laundry mat (man, we need to get our washer & dryer)
• vacuuming and dusting and bathroom cleaning
• getting organized and ready for school
• pancakes for dinner on Friday
• Football on Sunday
