As I look outside my window: It’s supposed to be sunny and very hot today. Thinking the kids should get outside for some water play after lunch.

Right now I am: Figuring out what to make for brunch today. I’m thinking bacon, eggs, and maybe waffles.

On my bedside table: Exit Strategy by Martha Wells; Conjure Women by Afia Atakora

On my tv this week: J and I dove into Battlestar Galatica and caught up with Holey Moley, Patriot Act, and Last Week Tonight.

Listening to: Mostly podcasts

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Texas Cheese Fries

• Tuesday - Smothered Pork Chops

• Wednesday - Beef Stew

• Thursday - Pizza

• Friday - Kharcho

• Saturday - ???

• Sunday - Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

On my to do list: I need to work on our summer bucket list and do a pantry overhaul.

Happening this week: The twins are going back east on Thrusday. So that means that we need to organize and pack early this week.

What I am creating: All the lists. I’m working on our first month or so of homsechooling. And I’m gathering all the resources for the overall year.

My simple pleasures: Chocolate chip cookies, iced tea, quiet reading moments

Looking around the house: The basement demolition has started. We’re working on getting things ready to fix the storage area to turn it into a workshop.

From the camera: We picked up a ton of books from the library this week. It took two people with two handcarts to bring them to my car.
