Outside my window…
Kind of like early spring – a Christmas rain took all the snow away and it is rather mild for the week between Christmas and New years.

I am thinking…
about changes I want to make in my life for the New Year.  With the passing of my mother and with my 50th birthday I am feeling a little more pressed for time in accomplishing everything I want to accomplish, and even figuring out what all of that is exactly.

I am thankful for…
a sensible husband and children. We had a modest Christmas but very satisfying and more importantly, very loving.

From the learning rooms…
Other than doing a unit on the state of Kansas, I think we will take the rest of the week off to recovery, regroup and reorganize.

From the kitchen…
leftovers

I am wearing…
Gray sweat suit that Mr. Pete got for me.

I am creating…
a newly organized office and classroom!

I am going…
to try to develop more discipline in my prayer life and exercise routine in the coming year. I am also going to mass today for my son Raphael, as I try to do every year on the Feast of the Holy Innocents.

I am reading…

The Divine Office for Dodos: A Step-By-Step Guide to Praying the Liturgy of the Hours

I am hoping…
to make sure that all my inventory for Mom’s estate got filed all right. Who knew that a warrant for your arrest could be issued for procrastination!

I am hearing…
Mr. Pete puttering around in the kitchen.

Around the house…

quiet but happy.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
1. Walk or exercise tape every day. Started the week off right with a nice long walk with Mr. Pete!
2.  Re-organize my classroom.
3.  Update and make some resolutions for 2010. 

A picture I am sharing:  
We leave our tree up throughout the Christmas Season to Epiphany, so I get to enjoy some of our special ornaments.  Here is one of the Baby’s First Christmas ornaments purchased for one of our sons.
