Thoughts for a snowy day....

FOR TODAY
February 11, 2010...
Outside my window...the sun is glaringly bright against the mountains of wind-swept snow.
I am thinking...about Valentines plans and ideas.
I am thankful for...disposable diapers, electricity and public school (yeah, today it's the basics that are priceless).
From the kitchen...dishes that need to be loaded into the dishwasher, and a pantry that needs to be replenished.
I am wearing...yoga pants and a tank top - don't be misled, I was NOT exercising -these are my jommies....
I am creating...a home - a place that is not perfect, but is cozy, encouraging, usable, welcoming and full of reminders of the love that is lavished on us by our God, our family and our friends.
I am going...to work this afternoon, so I can have tomorrow to prepare for my Valentines date!
I am reading...'Priscilla and Aquila' - eh.
I am hoping...to have a fairly stress-free afternoon at work and be able to go to the grocery store soon!
I am hearing...the skid-loader, Eva playing Barbies and Elley watching 'Joseph'.
Around the house...is yet more laundry that needs to be folded, craft supplies to be put away, and somewhere I'm sure there's some energy to do it that I apparently mislaid....
One of my favorite things...watching my daughters curtsy - seriously it can't be beat.
A few plans for the rest of the week: Valentines date with my wonderful hubby tomorrow night; Glick family gathering on Saturday; kid's V-day party on Monday!
Here is picture for thought I am sharing... Anna's finished Box Turtle Habitat - she did such a great job and I'm so proud of her!
