FOR TODAY, Tuesday, March 1
Outside my window... It's dark and back down below freezing now. Although the ground is still white and buried with at least a foot of snow, we got to see the sun and enjoy 40 degree weather today!
I am thinking... I would really like to know the origin/reason why knitters say they "frogged" something to mean that they had to rip it all out and start over. I don't get it! I have two guesses. Either it's because "ripped it (out)" kindof sounds like "ribbit" or it's an acronym for all of the swear words circling the mind when all of the undoing is taking place. My vote is for the second.
I am thankful for... the basics that are easily overlooked: home, food, health, income, safety.
From the learning rooms... Technically, we're on break after finishing the Kindergarten curriculum a couple of weeks ago. So we've been enjoying the departure from the books lately, but today we enjoyed some naptime-cuddletime-read aloud from his old reading books-time. I think this should find its way into the majority of our days.
From the kitchen... nothing too special. I've lost my great-ideas-for-supper groove, so it's been pretty simple lately.
I am wearing... layers.
I am creating... a homemade (handknit) hat for Honeybun (which, yes, was frogged this evening and begun again).
I am going... to see the midwife next week.
I am reading... FitPregnancy.
I am hoping... to make it through the transition to (actual) Spring without losing all semblance of sanity.
I am hearing... Captain Janeway bossing people around (No, I am not the one watching it nor am I the one with a shred of interest in it.).
Around the house... the need for a purging of the toys has been lurking in my mind and is only becoming ever more annoying and evident.
One of my favorite things... eating food. Any and all food, really, but especially food that I'm feeling particularly drawn to at any given moment.
A few plans for the rest of the week: getting out when we can and taking advantage of the weather if/when it's nice. Also, I'm hoping to visit my grandparents at some point this week, but other than that, we'll just be enjoying daily life.
Here is picture for thought I am sharing..
