Daybook Entry - Mar 9, 2009

For Today... Monday, March 9th, 2009 (written some in AM, some in PM)

Outside my window... The windows are open from overnight. The birds are chirping. There is a hum of distant cars and the start of a new work week. The pear trees are just starting to burst their white blooms. Absolutely fabulous! Daffodils are in full bloom. Grass is sprouting. Feels like Spring!

I am thinking... about whether or not I am really getting over this cold that I’ve had for a week or if I should make an appointment with the doctor for this morning. (Note: Ended up going in this afternoon and getting prescription for a sinus infection.)

From the learning rooms... Last week was an “off week” with Nan’s arrival. This
week, we will pick back up again and continue our units on “Cows” and “Horses”. I am beginning to start to think about our summer schedule and what we will do for next year.

I am thankful for... Glorious weather that enlivens the winter weary soul!

From the kitchen... Need to start another batch of butter and bread for this week. Homemade is so much better! Tonight is gnocchi night. :)

I am wearing... PJ’s! and my daughter hanging out with me helping me write this early in the morning!

I am reading... Stayed up late reading What is a Reformed Church? (Smallman)

I am hoping... that this prescription will end up this sinus infection quickly and I can stop napping every afternoon.

I am creating... many plans in my head, but

I am hearing... birds are still chirping and the quiet of nap time.

Around the house... Things are in a bit of disarray as we have been rearranging and getting ready for a yard sale. We have sold some major furniture on Craig’s List as a start, so things are all over the place.

One of my favorite things... Warm weather. Open calendars. Drugs that work.

A few plans for the rest of the week... Nan leaves Tuesday night. Playdate on Thursday morning. Second to last Homeschool Co-op for the Spring on Friday.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you... This was last week at this time - snow falling. Today's high is 80 degrees and full sun. What a change!
