FOR TODAY<\/strong> August 13, 2014<\/p>\n Outside my window…<\/strong> warm. The city is repaving streets so there are asphalt trucks and workers out.<\/p>\n I am thinking…<\/strong> about Daniel’s IEP this afternoon. His school situation got fixed kind of amazingly on Monday and I’m dealing with someone in another school district who is actually treating me (and Daniel) like a person and not like a problem they’d like to make disappear.<\/p>\n I am thankful…<\/strong> for the weekend with my parents and for drama-free drives up and back by myself with Daniel.<\/p>\n In the kitchen…<\/strong> Jon is making himself lunch. I had elevenses so I’m not thinking about food-type stuff for a few hours yet.<\/p>\n I am wearing…<\/strong> charcoal shirt and tan khaki capri cargo pants.<\/p>\n I am praying for…<\/strong> some special intentions, discernment about our next step in ministry, and that this afternoon’s IEP goes well.<\/p>\n I am going…<\/strong> hopefully nowhere tomorrow.<\/p>\n I am reading…<\/strong> A New Kind of Christian<\/u> by Brian McLaren. While I was up in San Jose, I also read a couple murder mysteries: Cutwork<\/u> by Monica Ferris (meh) and Death by Design<\/u>, a three-pack of murder mysteries by Laura Childs which was good enough that I just requested the other books in the series from the library.<\/p>\n I am hoping…<\/strong> Daniel takes a long nap so I can get some writing done.<\/p>\n I am looking forward to…<\/strong> going to an ordination on Saturday.<\/p>\n I am hearing<\/strong> the ticking of the various clocks in the living room.<\/p>\n Around the house…<\/strong> quiet as people take naps or read or do whatever.<\/p>\n From the learning rooms…<\/strong> the usual: letters, numbers, writing, days of the week, months of the year, etc. School starts next week for Daniel and I’ll be happy to be done “homeschooling” so I can start focusing on freelance work again to pay the bills.<\/p>\n A favorite quote for today…<\/strong> “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” — C.S. Lewis<\/p>\n I post this one every couple months but it’s one that resonates well with me.<\/p>\n One of my favorite things…<\/strong> a quiet house.<\/p>\n A few plans for the rest of the week:<\/strong> IEP today, some business calls tomorrow, open house at Daniel’s school on Friday morning, possible date night on Friday night, and heading to an ordination on Saturday.<\/p>\n Hosted by The Simple Woman’s Daybook<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FOR TODAY August 13, 2014 Outside my window… warm.
