For Today… July 27, 2009

Outside my window… monsoon clouds on one side, blue skies on the other…waiting to see who wins. 

I am thinking… about how sleepy I get every afternoon, and about how horrible I feel if I give in and take a nap.  I MUST resist!

From the learning rooms… I spent three hours cleaning our schoolroom this weekend.  Now that it’s all sparkly I’m much more excited to get in there and get things ready for starting school in a couple of weeks.

I’m thankful for… friends to relax with.

From the kitchen… I have a pile of zucchini waiting for me.  And now that I’m not the bread factory, I might have time to do something with it. 

I am wearing… my favorite jean shorts, and one of my “new” t-shirts, that I bought about three years ago.

I am reading… Petticoat Ranch for book club. 

I am creating… that photo book I started working on like four months ago!!! Still not done.  Has anyone else ever had a problem with the programs for those things running really slow/freezing up all the time?  I’m forty-seven pages in so I don’t want to quit, but it’s making me CRAZY!

I am hearing… the two big girls playing with their Calico Critters (one of the favorite toys around here)  It sounds like someone is dying, but apparently it’s all part of the playing.

Around the house… thanks to the almost daily rain, my backyard looks like a little corner of the amazon…I’ve got to get out there and get busy.

A few plans for the rest of the week… softball tonight, dinner with friends, show and tell on Friday.  A pretty full week, but I kind of like it that way.  

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you…

Makes the mess of baking worth all the trouble!
