For Today…<\/strong> May 8, 2016<\/p>\n

\"Simple<\/p>\n

Looking out my window…<\/strong> dark. It was cloudy for most of the day and Lick Observatory<\/a> was quite socked in with fog when we went up there in the afternoon. It got sunny in the late afternoon though.<\/p>\n

I am thinking…<\/strong> about grade inflation in the homeschool world and misreporting of class values in portfolios for college. Long story, trust me.<\/p>\n

I am thankful…<\/strong> for the chance to see the big telescope at Lick Observatory<\/a> and for the volunteer who let us walk around on the platform while he was talking. Keith, you rock!<\/p>\n

One of my favorite things…<\/strong> a quiet evening after a busy day.<\/p>\n

I am wearing…<\/strong> jammies. (It’s 8:45 p.m.) Church clothes were a black decorative top, black pants, black flats, and my burgundy choir robe. After-church clothes were a charcoal fitted tee from Old Navy<\/a> and black capris from Kohl’s<\/a> with my running shoes.<\/p>\n

I am creating<\/strong> my temperature afghan. I’m about two months behind but I might be able to get a little caught up this week, depending on how long a couple tasks take me and if I can get them done at the beginning of the week.<\/p>\n

I am reading…<\/strong> Accidental Saints<\/u> by Nadia Bolz-Weber<\/a>. I might be able to finish this week if I read during lunch instead of being on my laptop.<\/p>\n

I am hoping…<\/strong> to get a lot of my errands done in the first part of the week.<\/p>\n

I am learning…<\/strong> to ask for help and not act like everything in the next month is completely for me to do.<\/p>\n

In my kitchen…<\/strong> Dad made the usual Sunday fare for us for Mother’s Day — steak, tater tots, and caesar salad. It was what Mom and I both chose as it was our day.<\/p>\n

In the school room…<\/strong> I’m working on fine motor tasks with Daniel to strengthen his hands and help him maintain his tripod grip while writing without special grips on the pencil.<\/p>\n

Post Script…<\/strong> This is an interesting piece on missions and why you shouldn’t build a house on your next mission trip<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shared Quote…<\/strong><\/p>\n

A moment from my day…<\/strong> A picture from my first Mother’s Day in 2009.<\/p>\n
