I started this post this morning. I’m just getting back to it now. . .
Outside my window. . . 53 degrees bright and sunny. A perfect fall day! (It’s 69 now and dark)
I am thinking. . . about my to do list. I really seem to have a hard time getting back on track on Mondays. It’s probably all just psychological.
From the schoolroom. . . no school today since it’s Columbus Day. The older kids are going with a group to pray outside an abortion clinic.
I am thankful for. . . modern medical technology. Its importance to our daily lives cannot be underscored enough.
From the kitchen. . . oatmeal and toast with tea as my morning repast. Dinner will be something with chicken. Spicy chicken with rice and vegetables sounds good. (Dinner is done –it was delicious)
I am creating. . . a planner.
I am going. . . to the grocery store for a quick run through.
I am wearing. . . my kicky new jean skirt , a long sleeved navy blue knit top, knee high socks and really cute t-strap Mary Jane’s that I got on clearance last season at Marshall’s.
I am reading. . . I’m rereading The Body Ecology Diet and trying to get back to following its plan. It’s a great way to build your immune system and I am hoping to stop any further autoimmune diseases from happening here.
I am hoping. . . to be able to go for a run later. I didn’t get to this morning and I don’t want to miss it. (I didn’t get to go. The big kids were gone most of the day, plus I have a sore throat and my ears hurt. Feels like cold coming on.)
I am hearing. . . Maria laughing and running as various other children pretend to chase her. (10 hours later that’s still pretty much what I am hearing. Is it bedtime yet??)
Around the house. . .a little cleaning, calls to make, sewing would be nice. . . (I got some cleaning done, no phone calls and no sewing)
One of my favorite things. . . dark chocolate. ‘nuf said.
A few plans for the rest of the week. . . lessons, planner stuff, sewing (hopefully). My new desk is done, now I am waiting on shelves and a cutting table. As always RCIA is Tuesday.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you. . .

Princess in pigtails. I found the dress while sorting the bins last week. She loves it!
