One of the pictures Kayla took for Competition next week


OUTSIDE MY WINDOW::
We are having the most amazing thunderstorm right now.  Sheets of rain, whole-sky flashes of lightening.  It's awesome.  I even let the boys come down after bedtime. They wrapped up in blankets and we snuggled on the porch swing.  

WHAT I'M LISTENING TO::
Storm outside, Dryer running, Odyssey playing in the boys' room.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO/DREAMING OF ::
Buying a farm!

THANKFUL FOR :: 
The comfort of knowing God says no when it is best.
and
A very productive day of cleaning.  I worked the kids extra hard this morning, so we had pizza and movie night tonight!

PONDERING :: 
I was eating breakfast this week with some friends at a retirement center. I noticed there are two kinds of people:  Happy ones and Negative ones.
I want to be a Happy One.

REMEMBERING :: 
Tonight we read about fireflies.  I am remembering the amazing, sparkling display of thousands and thousands of fireflies at my parents' house.

TOWARDS RAISING HUNGRY LEARNERS ::
I am excited about learning with my kids.  I have been working on planning things together - attending events, classes, etc. - that allow us to learn more together about things we love to do. More to come on all that!!

A FEW PLANS FOR THIS WEEK::
I can't remember what's happening without my calendar.  I have doing a lot of decluttering, so I'm hoping to continue that.  My focus has been very sharpened by some recent events, and that always helps.  I need to go through and sort the mountain of stuff waiting to be donated, sold, etc.

I also plan to do some:
Freezer cooking for May
Monthly Mvelopes Budgeting for May
Make our "Summer Fun" schedule
Finish projects & send Kayla off to ACE Student Convention (maybe join her...)
Begin writing my sessions for a retreat coming up.
