FOR TODAY, Monday, January 18, 2010...
Outside my window, it is foggy. Shades of gray seem to fill our color pallette for the last few days, making for a pretty subdued pallette...
I am thinking, a little bit of sun and blue sky would be nice.
I am thankful for modern appliances. The thought of chicken over the fireplace, laundry in the stream and beating the rugs completely exhausts me! I am also thankful to be feeling much better than I have been...
From the learning rooms, book summaries, finding the radius of a circle, spelling lists...
From the kitchen, chicken boiling for enchiladas.
I am wearing, a plummy sweater, black t-shirt, blue jeans.
I am remembering how much I disliked spelling! (shhh... don't tell my girls!)
I am creating thank you notes, prayer lists, an ESL calendar, dinner, clean laundry...
I am going to the Bahamas! (HA! only in my mind... it's so sunny there...)
I am reading War and Peace (yes! finished vol. 1, part 1 and moving on...), Andy Catlett, and All Loves Excelling.
I am listening to a new-to-me download from Sara Groves, Fireflies and Songs.
I am hearing a math lesson downstairs, lunch prep in the kitchen, dog tags jingle on the collar, whistling from the girl next to me.
I am hoping peace, order and relief come to Haiti, even today.
Pondering these words... In Thy presence is fullness of joy; In Thy right hand there are pleasures forever (Psalm 16:11)
One of my favorite things, the smell and warmth of laundry coming out of the dryer in the winter.
A few plans for the rest of the week- the usual. I'm thankful for routine.
Here is picture I am sharing... a self-portrait taken in front of my washing machine...

Hey, I'm reading Andy Catlett too! How did we get to be so much alike!?
Are you going to pre-field training in July? Please, please, please?
yo yo...great to read your list. it's fun to imagine your house teeming with energy/life/laundry. :)
yesterday, i slay a monstrous giant mound...and unintentionally let the kids go to bed in their afternoon sweatpants/t-shirts garb. sunbconsciously to save on laundry...? perhaps.
