FOR TODAY (tonight):
Outside my window... bugs are singing. Loudly. It’s rather dark. I would imagine some crickets and roaches are roaming my garage. Gross but true.
I am thinking... that first I am VERY thirsty. I wish I wasn’t so lazy. All I need to do is get up and get a glass of filtered water. I just looked up. Dugh. I have a pitcher of water beside my computer. It has been there all night. {Sigh.) It’s not easy being me.
Maybe tonight is the night. Just maybe Naomi might sleep through the night. Maybe. (Nope . . . she just woke up.)
Naomi is so close to sitting up on her own. So close.
I am thankful for... all of the clothes that have been given to me from my sister, Casey, Sarah, and Beckie. I almost cried as I sorted through them tonight. Don’t ask me why. The dresses were the tearjerkers.
I am especially thankful for the Lord’s intervention in keeping me from traveling 4 hours up to Chicago for the ApologiaLive luncheon that I thought was this weekend but is in fact . . . next weekend.
And kuddos to the Lord for giving me firm feet when I rashly climbed a ladder to pick these beauties . . . all in an attempt to impress my sons.
From the learning rooms... swimming lessons. Self control. Whispering. Not hitting.
From the kitchen... Struggling. I really need/want to do the GAPS Intro to prove to the world that it works. But each Monday that I vow to start . . . my morning organic mocha or chai beckons my name. They go so nicely with my Bible study.
I am creating . . . . organization. It feels good. But it is slightly time consuming. My projects this weekend have been sorting clothes and creating filters in my gmail account(s).
I am going . . . . to go go to bed soon. But I just get so much done when the house is quite and all are sleeping!!!!!!
I am reading . . . Organized Simplicity and need to set the date for my garage sale . . .
and Money Secrets of the Amish . . . which is SURPRISINGLY good and funny! Giveaway soon!
and of course . . . my Bible along with my study on Matthew with Simply Sarah and Bold Turquoise.
I am hoping . . . . to de-clutter, organize the schoolroom, use my planner from Jolanthe, and prepare for a baby shower.
I am hearing... the air conditioner and Ruth snoring.
Around the house... people are sleeping. (It seems like I never change this line.)
One of my favorite things... I must admit it. My husband. And homemade ice cream. And raw milk. And Gabe’s curls. And notes from Asher. And snuggling with Ezra of a morning. And Naomi’s jabbering . . . even at 2 am.
A few plans for the rest of the week . . . vacuuming, folding clothes, making a new batch of kombucha and water kefir soda, blogging about counter-top yogurt, our curriculum plans, and making baby food. . . in addition to keeping on top of email. Oh . . . filling out our AWANA forms.
Here is picture for thought I am sharing . . . . this is the toenail polish that my sons picked out for me. It matches the Engineer’s running shirt.
Here is a closer look . . . no toe-jam! (I use SunCoat Nail Polish, by the way.)
