As I look outside my window: It’s cold, windy, cloudy, and rainy. After temps in the 80s this past week, we’ve dropped back to around 40 degrees for this weekend. Very dreary weather.

Right now I am: Surrounded by curriculum for the rest of the year. Thankfully, I only need to sort Quentin’s math and language arts and I’ll be done until I start planning next year’s curriculum.

On my bedside table: The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher; Crossings by Alex Landrigan

On my tv this week: We watched a few movies (The Portable Door was absolutely amazing!) and continued watching our currently airing shows (Schmicago, The Mandalorian, Ted Lasso).

Listening to: Still making my way through the Revolutions podcast season on the French Revolution.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Pork and Green Chile Stew

• Tuesday - Ham and Potato Soup

• Wednesday - Leftovers

• Thursday - Cheesy Bacon and Egg Hash

• Friday - White Chicken Chili

• Saturday - Beef Stew

• Sunday - Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

On my to do list: So much! But first priority is to cleanout my Notes app. I have so many little (and big) things listed in there. I need to organize my notes and get my brain dump list straight so I can know what I need to tackle first.

Happening this week:

• Monday - Crafting afternoon at the park (if the weather holds)

• Tuesday - Coop Earth Day Party

• Wednesday - Science Class

• Thursday - Coop

• Friday - Nature Explorers at Heron Haven; Lit Society

• Saturday - Home Day

• Sunday - Home Day

What I am creating: I want to work on my March Memory Planner pages this week. Maybe I can take them to the crafting day at the park on Monday.

My simple pleasures: Yogurt, organized curriculum, a good night’s sleep

Looking around the house: Meh. I need to do laundry today and really need to put away all the clothes. That would help make the house much cleaner.

From the camera: Making and breaking ciphers at coop book club.
