Almost May Day!

Reading . . . Life-Giving Home by Sally Clarkson.  Amazing inspiration, she says what I think deep in my mind but could never put into words.

Playing . . . a fun game called "organize the house in my spare time."

Watching . . . Whatever Jer happens to have on- The Office most recently.

Trying . . . to plan homeschool for next year.

Cooking . . . night off tradition- blackened fish, kale, (new recipe) cornbread.

Drinking . . . not enough water.

Calling . . . no one.  I never have quiet time to talk on the phone.

Texting . . . some special friends who have been keeping me supported during these months of uncertainty, with daily encouragement.

Pinning . . . home decoration ideas and lots of yummy things I want to eat.

Crafting . . . a beautiful broom closet to make my days of cleaning happy!

Doing . . . Lots of praying and talking about the future.

Going . . . to swim lessons for Forest every day.  And he is ready to swim so they are so fun!

Loving . . . some new routines and how they change our days.  Load of laundry done start to finish each day.  Taking extra time and effort to dress nicely each day.

Hating . . . the 90 degree temps that are back to stay.  And humidity. But it means berry picking and new sunglasses.  Volleyball tournament and swimming pool!

Discovering . . . a newly rediscovered enjoyment for John Grisham novels.

Enjoying . . . more music in our school days.  Classical.  Raffi and folk kids music for fun.

Thinking . . . A lot about next year and all the details surrounding it.

Feeling . . . ready for decisions to be made and the course to be clear.

Hoping for . . . clear answers this next week.

Listening . . . to little people quietly playing in bed.

Celebrating . . . little days and little things.

Spelling . . . lots of words to Forest, who has caught the reading bug!  YAH!

Thanking . . . a former co-worker for affordable swim lessons for Forest.  Friends for endless support during these last couple months.  Co-workers for sharing their snuggly little babies!

Finishing . . . school in four weeks.  YAH YAH YAH!  And there is no way the kids are more excited than the teacher.  No way.

AND!  Shannon and Forest ran their first 5k!!!!
