FOR TODAY
Outside my Window... the sun. Seriously. It was 43 degrees on Friday, 50 degrees on Saturday and 48 yesterday.
I am thinking... Mother Nature is playing with our heads
I am thankful for... four seasons . . . even when I complain about them and their various extremes
From the kitchen... dinner last night was good . . . left over meatloaf, cut into bite size pieces, sauted with 1/2 pound Italian sausage, pepperoni, onion, pepper, mushrooms, tomatoes and a variety of different pastas (penne, bowtie, twirly stuff). Yum. Especially good way to use up the meatloaf
I am creating... nothing. Spent the weekend fixing, repairing, hemming, cleaning.
I am going... to keep walking in my bathroom and smiling . . . nothing like a clean bathroom to make you feel all warm and fuzzy (gee, don't I have high expectations).
I am wearing... black slacks, purple shell, black sweater, cluster grape earrings
I am reading... And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
I am hoping... to finish it by tomorrow.
I am hearing... the radio
Around the house... clean. It all started with the toilet in the master bath (it broke and had to be replaced) and snowballed from there. To the point where I have BANNED the kids from using that bathroom. Seriously mean. However, we do have two other bathrooms, one of which is strictly their's and that Dave and I don't use.
One of my favorite things... music. I love music. All kinds (except rap). This past Saturday night was the Youth Liturgy and their music ROCKED. Seriously, joyous and praising God and family. Lindsey plays the violin at Youth Liturgy and they practice on Tuesdays and play the first Saturday of the month. The day of the Mass, they start practicing at 3:00 with Mass at 4:30. I take my knitting to that practice and sit and listen to the joyous sound. I am not alone, there are generally four or five other parents there early too.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week... swimming practice EVERY morning, meeting tomorrow night, Regional swim meet on Saturday (this is likely the end of the road for this year), enjoying the freakishly warm weather
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...
A couple of days of especially warm weather and we lose the snow . . . .

We too are saying goodbye to the snow this week with warm weather... I'm afraid our front yard t hough won't be clear due to it's relatively shady nature ;-) I'm thrilled though to get outside and enjoy some warmish sun... :-)
