Grasshopper Days
Outside my window... a practically perfect fall day. Yes, I said fall. And I'm ready for it, after a hot weekend :D Leaves are drying out, turning colors, and twirling in the cool breeze. Ahhhhh :D
I am thinking... I think of all the 9-11 posts I've seen, this one is the best. Because she gets it, better than all the talking-head newscasters. It's not about me.
I am thankful for... sunshine and a cool breeze, boys diligently getting through their school work, and fun times we're looking forward to.
I am praying for... my brother and his wife (!), Kerry and work, and my mom's continued healing.
I am wearing... shorts and a t-shirt. Amazing, I know.
I am creating... order from chaos. I have a separate list for each day of this week, because the Mother Load could not be contained. (eyes roll) But the office is looking better, especially since I got all the sewing stuff picked up. And as soon as I put it all away there's something else I want to work on...
I am going... to do stuff. You know,
When you do stuff, stuff gets done.
That's my extra-fancy motto.
In other (better) words,
Be strong and courageous, and do the work.

I am reading... maps, timelines, history... not so much reading for pleasure just now.
I am hoping... the work ethic I saw in the boys last week continues.
I am hearing... heavy equipment spreading gravel in the alley.
You know, we have three seasons around here:
the rainy season, hunting season, and road construction.

I am remembering... 9-11.
From the learning rooms... oh boy oh boy oh boy! Dividing numbers with two digits, finding the least common multiple, and graphing linear and inverse equations; grammar, root words, compound subjects and verbs, the semicolon and the colon, and complete sentences vs. fragments; John Wesley Powell, explorer of the Grand Canyon; and how fossils are formed.
From the kitchen... we bbq'ed hamburgers last night and I think I could do that five nights a week! But.. maybe some ham tonight?
Around the house... ACK! Debris (gear) from the boys' SAREX that needs to be put away; laundry in the basket, in the washer, and on the line; and books, books, and more books.
On my mind... distributing the work load over the week, somewhat equally.
Noticing that... motivation and progress (success!) feed each other :D
Pondering these words...
Adapt and overcome.
And then repeat...
Adapt and overcome.
And then repeat...
One of my favorite things... seeing growth, seeing progress, seeing maturity.
A few plans for the rest of the week... no, can't go there, too much!!!
Here is a picture I am sharing...
Happy sigh :D

Aah - lovely wedding photo!!
It's a bit funny to hear you say you're ready for fall, it seems your summer just started :-)) (says I from a 29C spring....)
Your week sounds busy, but I hope it'll be a good one. Your school plan for the week sounds nice and full!
I guess I left your comment at Q's ;-)
Hoping you have a great week, one step at a time. You do sound organized and prepared to tackle that Mother Load.
While here I am in the midst of baking cake for tonight that will need to chill repeatedly, has two types of frosting/icing, etc. 8-\ And she wants chimis for supper, no less. I will be ready for the funny farm very, very soon! That's why I am smiling :D
Great wedding photo!
"Order from chaos". Oh I so wish! I keep telling myself things will be better when I get organized, but I just can't seem to get the stuff done. However, I would not swap one single moment with this house full of children and grandchildren.
9-11 is not such a big thing here. We feel for those who lost loved ones but .........so many unanswered questions from where I stand.
Jacquline's 9/11 post is very beautiful! It brought tears to my eyes.
Sooo very pleased to see a wedding photo. Beautiful!!!!
Love and prayers!
Deborah
