Outside my window... the sun is shining. The Japanese Fringe and Carolina Jasmine are in full bloom, and the backyard is full of wildflowers. The Redbud actually has some blooms on it this year, however tiny. The dogs are napping on one of the picnic tables.
I am thinking... about my Dad. He passed away 6 months ago today, and I still miss him more than words can express. There were so many things I wanted to tell him, and so much for me still to learn from him. I know I am harboring too much anger about his sudden death, but I can't seem to get completely past it just yet.
I am thankful for... my family, the hopes and dreams of tomorrow, the changing of seasons-both physically and of the heart.
I am wearing... a t-shirt that is now much too large, jeans, and houseshoes. (which I should do something about because my feet are freezing)
I am going... to do standard household junk today: laundry, dishes, cooking. I may get out in the sun again today and work on weeding the flower beds some more.
I am reading... I Wasn't Ready To Say Goodbye. This is supposed to somehow help me with my grieving process, but I am having a hard time with it. Also re-reading Twilight for the 7th time--its simplicity is soothing and helps me relax.
On my mind... Easter plans, Kobey's birthday, CJ's bouts of 'teenager-ness', Michael's lack of overtime hours at work, gardening, health, my Dad, and the billions of items on my To Do List.
From the learning room... working on St Patrick's Day lapbook with Kobey. Maybe this will be the one that we actually finish! (maybe not)
From the kitchen... wanting to try tweaking Mom's homemade roll recipe by making it healthier. I hate to mess with perfection, but I also hate to not eat those rolls anymore!
Around the house... needing to get back into Spring Cleaning mode and get out the Easter decorations.
One of my favorite things... warm, sunny days with cool breezes.
A few plans for the rest of the week... helping Mom with her yard this weekend, setting up a bed for my tomatoes, delegating menu items for Easter dinner.
From my picture journal...
