I decided to combine two of my favorite memes into one. One is called The Simple Woman's Daybook, and the other is called the Weekly Wrap-Up (hence, the silliness with the title).
For Today…June 1, 2010 at 10:20am
From the Heart:
I'm doing all right. I have a lot to be thankful for, and I want to always remember that. Spiritually speaking, I still have big issues wrestling around in my head, but that will probably be the norm for the rest of my life.
On the Homefront:
Saturday, we had some good family time until Craig and Katie had to leave in the afternoon. Sunday was church and the picnic, which was fun. (Then I had a meeting.) Yesterday, we finished school! Woohoo! And we went to a party with some of our friends and had a really nice time. When we came home, we watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which Sarah and I had watched Friday night; it was really funny and cute. So there's a lot of contentment there on the domestic front.
We've had lots of showings on the house but no nibbles. Oh well. I don't really care anymore, though I don't like living in limbo. What's really getting on my nerves (besides the cleaning), is the fact that I can't get into a really messy project, like sewing or something. So I'm feeling really stifled in a creative sense. :(
In the School Room:
We are done!!!!! I decided that Katie could be done with math, since she'll be working through some of the same lessons when she starts again in August. She finished her term paper, and Sarah finished her math yesterday. So they are done! Of course, I'm not really done, as I have to put together portfolios and begin planning for next year. But that's okay.
In the Literary Scene:
I stayed up too late last night finishing the brainless historical fiction I was reading. It was pretty good, though. I read a lot from the Tudor-era, and this was from the reign of Charles II.
Outside my Window…it's a little overcast, but the breeze is lovely and the temperature is just about perfect. The birds are flying here and there; I've not seen my hummingbird yet, but I do hear the constant twitter of baby sparrows calling to be fed by their parents (really kind of annoying!). We have 5-6 baby chickadees in the birdhouse, and they are very cute!
I am thinking…that I'm glad school is done. I wish this general melancholy would go away.
I am thankful for…good health and my family. Great music and my computer, too.
From the kitchen…Asian Noodle Salad, two days in a row. But Saturday brought us a colossal cake wreck.

Hahahahaha!!!
I am wearing…my PJs still.
I am hoping… that I do well in my classes, which start June 28th.
I am creating…a dishcloth. Yep, I've resorted to crocheting when I'm not in the mood to cross-stitch. I want to sew.
I am hearing...Sting, I Was Brought to My Senses. Sarah and Katie are talking; the birds are chirping and calling, and Craig is washing his truck.
One of my favorite things… good health, baby chickadees, good family time, fireflies, summer flowers, etc.
I am praying for... good health (always) and for...things I can't say in a blog.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…Katie has a trail ride tonight (if it doesn't rain), band tomorrow, my brother's birthday, soccer, church, etc.
I accomplished since last week…finished the school year! Cleaned for 2 showings.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you:

MB, you and I must be on the same wavelength. Melancholy, questioning, thankful. Yep, those all resonate. Also for me, lonely. It's tough to homeschool the older the kids get, because more and more are leaving the fold. I miss people that I can share my feelings with. I know they're out there, but time is slim for me to find them! Hope things go well for you on your end, and that house moves soon. Limbo is no fun, trust me... I know!
Oh, I could have added lonely to the list, too.
Anyway, you definitely had it worse with the house situation. We don't really have to move, so if it doesn't sell it's not a huge deal.
And, yes, it does get lonelier as the kids get older, too. :( So many are going back to school...
I MISS YOU!
