FOR TODAY Outside my window… it’s finally summer-like hot. I am thinking… that we need new soccer cleats for a couple of kids. I am thankful… we had a wonderful church picnic on Saturday. In the kitchen… we’re back to strange eating and grocery schedules; soccer practices start tonight. I am wearing… black tanktop…
Our second week had its ups and downs. We had a rough beginning and middle, but the end was much improved. We had the best Circle Times we’ve ever had, right at an hour of work. We accomplished a lot of work, but did we accomplish the best work? I’ve been thinking about Brandy’s post…
One of my favorite meals is breakfast for dinner. Delicious, cheap, easy, fun … and, frankly, I’d rather cook it at dinnertime than breakfasttime.

Starting in the next couple of weeks I hope to revive Cindy’s Wednesdays with Words linkup (with her generous, kind “you go, Girl” blessings, I might add). I hadn’t thought to post any words today, but our dinnertime read aloud provided the perfect thing. We’re reading Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert…
FOR TODAY Outside my window… it’s been a drizzly day. I am thinking… about blogging, purposes, and what I’m doing. I am thankful… for friends who kicked me into gear. In the kitchen… the children are getting lunch together. I am wearing… shorts and a flowery purple top. I am creating… assignment sheets for my kids…
