Outside my window is pitch black, again. Earlier though I would have seen a beautiful, cold, pale blue sky with a glittery sun. Actually, there's an almost-full moon tonight, and it reflects beautifully off the snow. It's so cold outside though, I'm afraid there's not a lot of time for contemplation or even admiration while outside before your fingers, toes and nose get too cold!
I am thinking I should go feed our wood stove one more time before bed . . . maybe he'll be warm enough to start easily in the morning.
I am thankful for my husband who chops wood every evening after a long day's work, then throws the blocks down the concrete steps into the basement so I don't have to go outside every time I need wood.
From the learning rooms: I've got Silas's Quiet Time nook semi-set up. So far he's used it once - every other time he hasn't fallen asleep during nap time, we've been out of the house! Still have a lot of cozy final touches to add, but I think it's going to work in the end!
From the kitchen: My wonderful husband did the dishes tonight - at least most of them. He tends to overheat after a short while and gets too grumpy to finish up. But most of them are done and I'll finish off the strays after breakfast tomorrow. Yay!
I am wearing three shirts layered over one another. I was out all day today and it was cold!
I am creating a calendar for Silas and I to use daily. I'm just gonna wing it the old-fashioned way and create one from poster board and laminate a bunch of numbered squares we can dot-velcro on.
I am going to bed! I'm so tired my eyes don't want to stay open. But I was determined to get this done at least, I've been such a slacker as far as my blogs go. Sigh. My iPad is so wonderful, problem is I use it too much now!
I am reading Pride and Prejudice. Free on my Free Books App. Love it (the app, that is, I've only just started the book and can't say for sure!).
I am hoping the snow doesn't completely melt away this weekend when the temperatures rise again. It fell, then dropped to -20 degrees Celcius, so my boys didn't get much chance to play in it.
I am hearing "How to Train Your Dragon". It was left on when my husband went to go walk the dogs before bed. Love that he loves that movie so much!
Around the house things are falling apart little by little. Really want to say that I'm planning on staying home for the next week, but can't. Prior commitments call. Can't wait until Sunday, when I have three days in a row at home.
One of my favorite things has to be my iPad. Sorry for repeating myself, but right now it's true. I can have my writing, calendar, to do lists and routines, contacts, internet, reading - in short EVERYTHING - with me all the time! Love that!
A few plans for the rest of the week: Country Christmas in town this weekend and I am selling Usborne books at a booth in the Civic Centre Friday night and Saturday.
Here is picture for thought I am sharing... no picture today, maybe I'll add it later. Why does it always turn out to be more complicated than it should be?
