Outside my window...LOTS of scrap aluminum and lots of snow.
I am thinking... about being home with my kids all day- thankful that they are all healthy and thankful that the Lord has allowed me to be their mother. Any moment the Lord could take one of them, or me, home.
I am thankful for...good friend who scrape off your car for you when you are an idiot who wears flats with no socks while they snow is 12 inches deep.
I am wearing... my pjs- white gown with blue flowers & blue pants.
I am remembering... that I need to change the sheets today on all beds.
I am creating... a DISASTER in my basement. Doesn't it have to look horrible before it can look good?
I am going... to get a lot done today. Breakfast, dressed, school, write grocery list, and then CLEAN the downstairs.
I am reading... God's Word. I need to forcefeed the scriptures.
I am hoping... that Mike made it to work safely today.
On my mind... getting my house in order for weekend, overnight guests. SO EXCITED!!
From the learning rooms... lack of motivation. We took our spring break early because I scheduled too many appointments for this past week and I couldn't get everything done. Assessment is scheduled now and we are so far ahead... we will be done way before the assessment. That makes me feel good.
Noticing that... a. if I had laid back down instead of getting on here I could have gone back to sleep for 1 hour... but now I'm wide awake. b. the house is very quiet but only 1 kid is still sleeping. hmmm...
From the kitchen... empty cupboards and fridge. We really need groceries but the roads are so bad. I'll make a list and e-mail it to Mike and he can stop on his way home. That way he won't have to make a special trip.
Around the house... yesterday we made an AWESOME change in the living room. We took our tv stand/tv/vidoegames/etc. down to the downstairs. We moved our piano over to another wall freeiing up one wall completely. Then we got a flat tv and put it on top of the piano. AMAZING how much bigger the room looks & feels and if you've been here you know we need space. 7 people living in 918 square feet...
One of my favorite things... when Alison gets in my bed after Mike leaves for work and she holds my hand. :)
Praying for... a friend who has a sick baby in the hospital who will have surgery today, 4 very young children & their Dad who lost their mother/wife this week to sickness, safety on the roads for all people, confirmation on a major decision,
A Lyric or two... To hear with my heart, to see with my soul. To be guided by a hand I cannot hold. To trust in a way that I cannot see. That's what faith must be.
A verse to share... Proverbs 22:24-25- Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn his ways and get yourself ensnared.
A few plans for the rest of the week... major cleaning to the downstairs, lots of school, Friday night visitors- SO EXCITED,

YEAH!!! I think the weather will be okay for travel. I told the kids today. I try to wait to tell them things, to make sure they will happen first, to avoid any unnecessary disappointment. It will be nice to visit and get together. Gavin is excited too. Leah said, "Do they have girl toys too?" I assured her that you do!! :)

Impressive...you change sheets on the beds!
Always love your heart Amy!
Oh...and you ladies have fun together! College girlfriends are the BEST!
Ava climbs into our bed when Eric is gone (he leaves at 5:40). She usually sleeps for a while, and, when she wakes up, she sometimes holds my hand or touches my arm or cheek, and then she kisses my cheek to wake me. That's one of my favorite things. :) I should put that in my next daybook. :)
