Quiet Days

Quiet Days at home are my very favorite.  I had a busy week last week and this week is pretty darn busy, too, but I have to say that quiet days at home are nearly heaven on earth to me.  Of course, I could do without the bickering as well as the out-right fighting that sometimes occurrs after a bunch of days staying at home.  And it's really apparent to this home-body Mama that my girls tend to prefer to be out and about (at least Ria and Kat do so far)!  ahwell...

Yesterday was a nice day.  At home.  NICE!

I'm still looking for homes for some Foreign Exchange Students.  If you're interested in becoming a Host Family, please DO let me know!  :)

I'll be posting a Thankful Thursday post on Thursday.  Until then I think I'll be quiet again.  Those are SUCH a great way for me to remember my week.  I actually come in and edit my post for TT almost daily sometimes.  QUICK journaling... I want to do more handwritten entries in my actual journal, but it's much harder to take the time for that.  At least I have these small reminders!  I hope you'll join, too.  Educating Evelyn is also just a great blog generally, but check her out on Thursdays especially (esepcailly if you want to link up a Thankful Thursday post!  ^_^

Lovely Busy Day

Woke up much earlier than my as-of-late-norm.
Showered.
Ate while Jess planned meals (consulted) with the Quarter Master for the next Scout campout.
Washed some dishes.
Decided where to put one of the 8 foot boxes and the kiddos' 2x2.
Welcomed Kristina, visiting for the morning.
Spent time with Kristina and her daughters.
Said goodbye.
Worked with Ria on some piano theory.
Ate lunch.
Did some dishes.
Sent Jess off to work.
Did more piano theory with Ria.
Made calls to invite sisters to the playground on Thursday to fellowship Kristina (my visitor today).
Computer for about 30 minutes.
Off to Ria's Piano class.
Walked for my 30 minute long lame walk (but all that's working with baby Tea thus far).
Picked Ria up from piano class and went home.
Put raspberry plants in water to soak.
Prepared dirt for raspberry plants.
Planted said plants.
Let the girls watch a movie (first and only one today).
Made dinner.
Talked to my Mom on the phone when she called. LOVELY!
Started 2 pizza crusts for lunch with Jess tomorrow (hopefully with Jess).
Nite nite reading with the girls, brushed teeth, prayers, tucked them into bed...
And now... a few minutes to read, write, and... watch Heroes? Hopefully!!
Or is Tea going to continue being a fuss budget?
Still have to finish the crusts.

Good day. Busy day.

Tomorrow begins Poetry Month. I'm thinking about participating in a thing, but not officially... just here on my blog. Not sure yet....
