It snowed this weekend! Today turned out to be much nicer.
Giving thanks...
For a nice night out for our anniversary. We went to dinner and a movie. I like last year where we each picked an activity, and we went shooting and hiking. Things are much busier this year. :(
In the schoolroom...
We have four more weeks of co-op left. All of us are counting down the days. Summer gets a lot easier with school because they can't go to the pool until math and reading are done.
From the kitchen...
I've been off of Whole30 for three weeks, and I am paying for it now. I feel awful, can't sleep, and feel sick most of the time. Anniversary tomorrow and then the straight and narrow. I've already got some food made and stored for the transition.
I am creating...
A Mass book. This book will have a message from Mass every weekend of how I can be a better version of myself for that week. It's a suggestion from Matthew Kelly. I've only been doing it two weeks, but the messages are coming in clear.
I don't ever want to forget...
-Marley and Logan saying, "Yes or Yes?" in an Australian accent like Matthew Kelly
-A last minute decision to go on a hike with them and how happy they seemed to be that I came
-Kaelyn so sore after coming to a gym class with me that she couldn't move for two days
I am working on...
Four weeks of lesson plans. One of them includes planting flowers. I told the kids to not get their hopes up.
I am reading...
Nothing right now. :( I have books to read, but I can't pick them up right now.
I am praying...
$$$...always.
I am hearing...
Blue Bloods. Love this show.
Around the house...
There's some article going around on how to teach your kids to clean their rooms in 10 minutes. While it took longer than that, I like the steps in it. They seemed easy for the kids to follow.
One of my favorite things...
The gym. That was a hard one. While I'm obsessed, I did take a couple days off to rest my shoulder (I pulled something last week). It was nice with those extra hours in the day.
A few plans for next week...
Anniversary, horseback riding, co-op, volleyball, baseball, and church. That doesn't seem like much, huh?
A few extras...
-Kevin has found himself a new job. He's helping coach Logan's baseball team.
-Rory hurt her hip and got x-rayed and everything!
- Crazy hair day at co-op
We "seemed" happy because we WERE Happy! It's usually just me and the kids out walking around. Nora "gets" to stay inside and clean or cook. Work has been really busy lately which is something I never like. Today we were up at 0300 and as I write this I am still online with work, it's 2214 :(.
ReplyDeleteI know everyone says it but our kids are crazy. They are kids though and want to get away stuff and have attention poured all over them. Just like all kids should want and get. We sure do love them though. They are awesome just like their mom!
My couching duties have been really fun. Logan is on a really good team and I couldn't be happier for them. Logan even wanted to play catcher in the last game and everyone said how great of a job he did. He probably gets that from Nora also. ;) They haven't been able to practice much and the games have been in really cold weather.
This year our anniversary fell on a Monday so it's hard to get out and about. We will some proper hiking and shooting soon. Maybe we will actually go into spring one of these days.
I hope you get everything you pray for Mrs. Blogger!!
