As I look outside my window: It’s bright and sunny again, but still pretty cold. Much much warmer than earlier this week, but started off in the 30s this morning.

Right now I am: Sitting down with my new book to read. Here’s hoping it’s better than the last one.

On my bedside table: All the Bodies by Kendare Blake; The Apollo Murders by Chris Hadfield

On my tv this week: Wrapping up our movie month this past week, but we also watched a few episodes of Hustle, Resident Alien, and Last Week Tonight.

Listening to: All the news and politics podcasts.

On my to do list: Set up student loan account (they sold my student loan yet again and I have to make a new account to access all the information; seriously student loans suck so much…), buy a bin to put away the in-between homeschool supplies (see the read alouds photos below), take care of some coop business, finalize my birthday day out plans

What I am creating: Books lists and curriculum plans

My simple pleasures: Good coffee, a long stretch of reading, getting out all my frustrations in a word vomit (seriously it helps sometimes)

Looking around the house: Besides my craft room, the house is looking decent. I do need to put away clothes today, but that’s usual.

From the camera: I was getting so confused that I had to pull out all of our read alouds to see what we got. And now I’ve separated them into homeschool years (and a free read pile) creating our master read alouds lists. Feeling so better now that this is all organized. I do love a plan.
