Outside my window...
It looks like it's going to rain. It's fairly warm, high 70's, but I think the humidity is bad too. We have the windows open which is nice.
I am thankful for...
A day where I have the time to sit and blog. We have been running. Today has been a lot of running, but I might be done for the day. We still need to pick up Logan, but Kevin will probably go so I don't have to.
I am thinking about...
Summer! I can't wait! Two more weeks and we're there. What normally happens is I start taking on all these small summer projects until my summer isn't restful either. Hopefully I can catch it before it happens. I'm also thinking about the new school year already. I want to be prepared and have lessons done before the new year starts. I think I say this every summer.
In the SchoolRoom...
Two weeks!
From the kitchen...
Kevin and I are about to start our eating healthy again. We fell off the wagon for Rory's birthday, but hopefully we can climb back on before chopping it up, selling the wood, and buying cupcakes.
I am creating...
Nothing. I have things to paint for Atrium, but I haven't gotten there yet. Maybe once school is done, I can sit down and crank them out. Who am I kidding?!
I am working on...
Budgeting. I'm not good at it, and I forget about a lot of things, but I keep trying.
I am reading...
True Devotion to the Holy Spirit by Luis M. Martinez. I'm in a bookclub! It's a group from church. I love it so far. This is the second book we're reading. I'm excited for it because I seem to be in a phase where the Holy Spirit is trying to tell me something, and I need to listen. I haven't started the book yet, but our first meeting is the last week of the month, and we're to read 10 chapters. I hope I can make it!
I am praying for...
A lot. If you're reading this, I'm probably praying for you. ;)
I am hearing...
Birds and my phone vibrating because Logan is texting me that he's on break. He went to an all day CPR/First Aid certification class. He says everyone has passed everything so far!
Around the house...
Things are getting done when they get done. I try to keep up vacuuming, but this darn dog sheds so much. The kids are good about helping as long as I ask. I sat them down the other day and explained to them that they were all old enough to look around and see what needs done and do it without me asking. For instance, if there's a piece of trash on the floor, I shouldn't have to point it out and ask them to pick it up while they're passing it.
Also, we got a new quilt for the bed. Our other blanket was a winter blanket. I used a birthday giftcard and found a pretty cheap one with great reviews. So far I think it's great! I don't like the color, but oh well.
One of my favorite things...
We still have family prayer every night. We've pretty much always done this, but during COVID we added the family Rosary. Sometimes it's hard, and it's late, and everyone's cranky, but we still pray it, and it's beautiful.
A few plans for the rest of the week...
Well, it's Saturday, so there's school all next week except for Friday because that co-op is finally done! It's the last week of school (except for a Monday class the following week) which means it's the get everything together for the last day madness. Sometimes I get myself into pickles when I try to do too much, and this last week of school is no different. I hope I make it!
Some pictures!
