FOR TODAY Monday, December 15th, 2008Outside my window...
"Hey Baby, it's cold outside"...I love, love, love this cold weather.
"Hey Baby, it's cold outside"...I love, love, love this cold weather.
I am thinking...
how blessed I truly am.
I have a gracious and loving Savior who calls me by name,
a handsome and witty husband, smart and sensitive children,
a loving and nurturing family, funny and inspiring friends,
a joyful fellowship at church, a fulfilling job,
a supportive boss and team at work,
a quaint home, two furry companions,
clothes on my back, food in my cupboard, gifts under the tree...
what more could I possibly need?
I am thankful...
for my sweet Weldon.
He voluntarily went to get groceries in this brr-freeze.
From the kitchen...
my chai is still steaming
and some good smellin' chili is simmering on the stove.
I am wearing...
the nicest clothes I will wear all week:
a black skirt, olive green sweater, burgundy blazer and my dressy boots.
My Honor Choir sang at the hospital this morning, so I had to dress up a bit so I would look more like a director and less like a student. We have the opportunity to wear jeans the rest of the week - this is a big deal at a uniform school. All we have to do to get a "jean pass" in bring a canned good for the food pantry. Our goal is to fill up Coach Martino's truck bed with food. When I delivered a few boxes from our concert food drive, the cupboards were bare, so this will be exciting to see what we can do to make a difference.

I am creating...
Pretty packages for my family and friends.
I am also working on a skit for the enrichment teachers at Trinity -
PE, Spanish, Computers, Art, Bible, and Music.
This year, the teachers must provide our own entertainment.
This could get really interesting.
Our "number" will be a rendition of the "Hallelujah Chorus"
using flash cards, since my partners are "non-singers".

I am going...
to enjoy not going as much this week.
I am so happy to have a few evenings with "nothing to do"!

I am reading...
Christmas books with my kids!

I am hoping...
that the weather will stay cold, or at least cool, for a while.
It just doesn't seem like Christmas if its 80 degrees outside.

I am hearing...
my children enthusiastically playing Wii games with Grant
(speaking with British accents for some reason)
while his clothes are running through the spin cycle.
Around the house...
Laughter and warmth and homecookin'.
One of my favorite things...
is getting the Christmas festivities and responsibilities behind me
so I can relax and enjoy the beauty of the season.
A few plans for the rest of the week:
We are watching movies in Music class this week.
My kids have TOTALLY earned it.
The post-concert flick this year is "Muppet Christmas Carol"
and they are all really into it.
Our faculty Christmas party, featuring teacher entertainment
and Secret Santa reveal, is on Tuesday night.
We are hosting our fourth annual Christmas Caroling party on Friday night.
It started out as a neighborhood party,
but has evolved into a interesting blend of friends.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
