currently

this is me today.

currently:

 

loving:  our middle school.

i had to talk to the principal yesterday.

(everything is great - no one is in trouble)

she cares so much about the students.

i really can't believe how lucky we are with the boys' schools.

 

reading:  The Mission of Motherhood.

it is the best book i've read on parenting/mothering.
it has put into words what i have always felt in my heart.

some of my girlfriends and i are doing an informal study of the book.

(v - when we finish you will be getting a copy)

 

waiting for:  spring!

 

 

 

a few days ago it was sort-of warm outside.

i opened the kitchen window and bo christian stood there for the longest time talking to the dog.

 

excited about:  i am doing a lenten Bible study.
sometimes i miss using my brain
and having conversations about things other than kids.
bo christian will stay in the nursery for the first time.
i think he will really enjoy it.

 

trying to:  teach myself to crochet.

i'm not very motivated so it's taking a while.
and my boys keep stealing my yarn.

here they are currently:

and bronson is making a yarn man:

 

enjoying:  alaska the wild frontier.
it is amazing to me how this family is self sufficient.
and how they wear jackets in the summer!?!
and shoot squirrels with a gun inside their home. 
husband and i watch an episode every night after we put the boys to bed.
what did we ever do before cable tv?
 

planning:  well, next week is a big one!
fat tuesday - need to make a king cake.
then ash wednesday.
and valentine's day.

wrestling every single night currently.

wanting: umm...

i really try to not want stuff.  i want to be happy with what i have.

but, there are some sandals at the mall i might need.

and some bright colored shoes would be nice.

and a bright colored belt.

i'm craving color right now.

listening to:  bo christian is singing himself to sleep
while the big boys play with my yarn.
and the dryer.

what is going on in your life currently?
