As I look outside my window: The snow from yesterday hasn’t melted yet… Very weird after last week’s high temperatures.

Right now I am: Taking a moment before the kids really get amped up for the day.

Thinking and pondering: How long is school going to be canceled. Here’s hoping it’s not the 6 weeks that I’ve heard…

On my bedside table: After the Flood by Kassandra Montag; The Jane Austen Project by Kathleen Flynn

On my tv this week: Nothing actually. But the theater was finally set up last night so we got to actually sit down and watch something.

Listening to: All the podcasts like usual. Really loving the Currently Reading podcast.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Leftovers

• Tuesday - Red Curry Noodle Soup

• Wednesday - Cheesy Artichoke Pasta

• Thursday - Ranch Cheddar Chicken

• Friday - Spicy Thai Noodles

• Saturday - Leftovers

• Sunday - Pork and Green Chile Stew

On my to do list: All the house projects. Goodness!!!

Happening this week: Well, school is technically on spring break, but I imagine it would be closed anyway. So we’ve instituted a schedule of school-like activities to keep some routine. I put in an order for some extra activity books and some games to play while we are stuck in doors.

What I am creating: Nothing at the moment. Here’s hoping I can do some crafting this coming week.

My simple pleasures: Key lime pie, a good cup of coffee, my own bed.

Looking around the house: Slowly slowly we are getting things put away.

From the camera: Yesterday’s scene in the backyard.
