FOR TODAY
Outside my window . . .it is a mix of sun and clouds. Ds has been working on my front flower bed for me. I am not a gardener, but I want lovely flower beds!
I am thinking . . .that I'm not getting much time for myself this summer. My kids are 21 and nearly 18, but this summer they are around a lot! It is a mixed blessing.
I am thankful for . . .rest. I have not been sleeping well lately, so last night I bit the bullet and took something to help me sleep. Slept better, but now I'm groggy.
From the learning rooms . . .ds finished his first book for the summer; his first essay for the summer; and is starting Lord of the Flies this morning.
From the kitchen . . .lots of vegetables, pasta and rice of late. Tomorrow we're having company: grilled pork tenderloin, strawberry spinach salad, rice jardin, and Lime Fluff Pie for dessert.
I am wearing . . . cotton pj pants and a blue tank top.
I am creating . . .my quilt. I gave up quickly on lap quilting! I do not have the patience for that. So I am going to quilt it on my sewing machine just doing basic straight stitching around each of the pieces in the layout.
I am going . . .to play with my bff, LBB today! I haven't seen her since the kids got out of school. We NEED a day together!
I am reading . . . still working on Life of Pi by Yann Martel. Also reading I, Coriander by Sally Gardner. It is a young adult novel that has been very intriguing.
I am hoping . . .to get some fun activities in today.
I am hearing . . .ds reading Lord of the Flies, and the dogs barking for breakfast.
Around the house . . .the same as always. The old saying about housework never being done is SOOOO true.
One of my favorite things . . .is good books to read. Sometimes I think if only I could stay awake, I would read 24/7.
A few plans for the rest of the week . . .fun time with LBB, dinner with friends tomorrow night, checking out a new volunteer opportunity, and as always, reading, swimming and sunning.
Here's a picture for thought I'm sharing . . .
