It’s less than a thousand words
I saw this first on Mimi’s blog, then when Deb opened it for everyone, I figured I’d join in.
Outside My Window …the swimming pool filter looks clogged with oak tree debris.
***
I am thinking … of unclogging it.
***
I am thankful for … less demands on my time.
***
From the kitchen … I just finished making cinnamon toast with my daughter (for her, a protein shake for me).
***
I am wearing … jeans and a purple polar bear t-shirt I purchased in Alaska.
***
I am creating … rather “generating” a desire to start a square garden like the one in Mind in the Heart’s blog.
***
I am going … to go to Walmart to shop for vegetable plants and for tomorrow night’s dinner (we’re bringing the steak even though it’s Friday) at a friend’s house. She invited all of us!
***
I am reading … more like slowly plodding through the same friend’s recommendation of Princess Ben to preview it before I pass it on to my daughter, it’s intended audience.
***
I am hoping … to make it to Walmart.
***
I am hearing … Jeremy and Rachel’s science video, and Rebecca asking me a question about her school.
***
Around the house …I have Pysanky eggs and materials calling me to start making it again for next spring’s sale.
***
One of my favorite things … my husband bringing me breakfast in bed.
***
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week[end]: the aforementioned outing, and breakfast in bed the next morning.

clogged filters – ugh. We have issues with pine needles from the neighbor’s yard.
I hope you get your square foot garden in.
What science vid. are your kids doing?

Ooooh, I like the sound of the square garden! And, I hope the clog is easily solved.
And, yum, cinnamon toast!

Oh, I should have said skimmer, sorry. It’s out now. I’ll let yall know how/if the garden gets in.
Deb,
They use Abeka videos for jr high and high-school which are very Protestant but also well organized (imo) and challenging. I think you said you use an internet curriculum? I’ve heard of Bennett’s K-12 on-line program, but I was already in my rut when I came across it.

Outside My Window … it’s dark.
I am thinking … of going to bed.
I am thankful for … having come to the setting of the sun…
From the kitchen … I finished too much good sloppy joe mix, which was really good, and I gave a little to Pippin.
I am wearing … down.
I am creating … carbon dioxide. And engineering specifications.
I am going … to bed. I think you already knew that.
I am reading … Exploring the Inner Universe, by Fr. Roman Braga.
I am hoping … to be saved.
I am hearing … a failing computer fan that needs to be replaced.
Around the house … it’s becoming very quiet as the kids settle in for the night.
One of my favorite things … bringing my wife breakfast in bed.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week[end]: breakfast in bed Saturday morning, finishing Fr. Braga’s book, putting in soffet vents for the attic, running electricity to the barn, installing a solar water heater on the south-facing roof, changing oil in two cars, finishing 3 FAFSA applications, finally putting something in my own blog for once.
