Daybook - September 26, 2011

Cow kissin'


outside my window . . .  Sunny, hot & humid.  Where is the lovely fall weather?

I am listening to . . . Mozart

I am wearing . . . T-shirt & capris

I am so grateful . . . that I don’t have to leave the house all day!  My favorite kind of day! Yes, I am a major homebody.  J

I'm pondering . . ..how to get my kids motivated while they are still very tired from a busy weekend showing cows.

I am reading . . . “Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand”.  I’m almost done and I love it!  It’s well written and fun.

I am thinking . . .  not much thinking going on.  What is it about being away that shuts down my brain.  I think I need some more serious sleep before I can get my brain jump started.

I am creating . . creating?  How about a mess?  Not what you meant?  J

from the kitchen . . not much going on there. 

real education in our home . . I’ve been doing Morning Time with the girls using ideas from Cindy and Ambleside Online.   It seems much more like REAL education compared to some of the regular curriculum that I use during the rest of the school day.

rhythm and beauty in our home . . . some major unpacking and laundry needs to be done before we will find any rhythm or beauty.

the week ahead. . . contains only one doctor appt so there won’t be too much running around.

Churchill Quote


"We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."
