FOR TODAY: June 15th, 2009

Outside my Window… it’s sunny right now. It is so hot and humid. I hate to complain, but I’m already over this weather. We have a swim meet tonight, and I am volunteering in the concessions so that I can sit in the air conditioning!

I am thinking… about our vacation. I have so much to do before we leave and I feel the time already slipping away from me.

I am thankful… that I am FINALLY over my cold. It was two weeks of feeling awful, but still having to run my house as if nothing was wrong since nobody else seemed to catch this cold.

From the kitchen… hopefully some new recipes. My goal is to make dinner every night this week. In fact, I would love to have a week without eating out at all, including lunch. Too bad I already made lunch plans this week!

From the school room… some reading and maps. We’re leaving for vacation on July 3rd, and I’m hoping to teach Goose about some of the states we’ll be driving through before we arrive in South Carolina.

Living the Liturgical year at Home… I am starting Summer with the Saints this week! A friend and I are planning crafts and stories for our little ones. I am so excited about this and am praying for a great turnout and fun for the kids. We are starting on Friday and will be celebrating the Feast of the Sacred Heart.

I am going… to a swim meet tonight. Only three more to go. I don’t mind going to swim meet, except that it is so darn hot.

I am wearing… green cargo shorts and a white shirt. I actually took a shower right after my workout today!

I am reading… nothing right now, but someone just recommended a new book for me. I can’t wait to start.

Around the house… lots of kids laughing and playing together. I know the boys won’t always get along, but I love when they hang out together and play nice. Squirt is such a great big brother and it’s been really sweet watching him and Goose listen to music together. Baby Hulk is trying to get in on the action too. He copies everything Goose does.

One of my favorite things… Mad Men. I just finished Season 1 and can’t wait to start Season 2. I think I’ll wait for the long drive across country.

A Few Plans For This Week… lunch with my friend Stacy who is due next week! Making plans for the three best dad’s around…Lance, my dad and my brother. Starting Summer with the Saints and finishing up some chores before summer vacation.

A picture thought I am sharing:
