Outside my window… snow falling when I walked out the door at 4am. (taking dh to the airport)  I don't recommend walking out the door at 4am… yawn. 

 
This guy was seen out the window this weekend. Took this through the glass 'cause folks its COLD out there. Pretty sure he was lost because I have never seen a bird like this out here.  If you've hung out here at all you  probably already guessed that I have no idea what it is. 

I am hearing… music for the new ipod.  Turning out to be a  quirky mix.  But then again, so am I. 

 I am thinking… we are beginning a month of 'last times' and that is hard. 

I am thankful for…  this strange peace this morning.  Lots to fret over,  but I can't seem to get the fret on. 

I am wearing…  gray/black dotted empire waist top with 3/4 sleeves, boot cut jeans, black boots and a rather bad hair day which may have something to do with the walking out the door at 4am thing. 

I am reading… mail from an old friend. Grace, grace, grace all over. What a blessing. 

From the learning rooms… on the home stretch for most kids.  Props to Aidan for getting up early every morning to knock out multiple days of assignments. 

Otherwise – Pitching straggling pieces of manipulative sets left and right. Not many of those left nor do I have a deep desire to replace them. If I never see another Montessori tray I will still live a full and happy life.  Without little pieces.  Yes, I just said that. 

I am creating…. possibilities

Pondering these words…

"Now I'm not who I used to be, 

there's still work to do in me,

God's not finished with me yet." 

Around the house… closets and barn cleaning this week. Ick.  Have some big thoughts on school paperwork to share. Keyword there – Done Lists.  Make them. Keep them. 

Looking ahead this week:  maybe the eye appt will happen this week? Meeting to schedule the movers tomorrow.  I'm not looking too much further ahead.  One day at a time. : ) 

One of my favorite things… bed-headed little girls in footed pj's running to greet me at the door

From my picture journal…

Brendan at the baseball game last week.  He had a pretty good time ; )  And for the record that is his dinner not a cavity lol!   Home run came right mid-slice of pizza.
