Menu Plan Monday, and misc stuff

Home made taco's

I made a new column on the menu board for "I matter to me" plans.
This will remind me to fix myself a healthy meal for lunch and to think about before the last moment. I also want to remind myself to take good care of "me"!

Other stuff :)

I found the fabric used in my last home. It matched my china I picked out years ago. I have had the china in the hutch from when we were selling the house. So with it in there on display...and the drapery I made gone... I hung this this week end . I love it! The house feels so much warmer in character. I really have loved this print.

I also found these scraps of fabric from the old kitchen. I am going to make a pillow for the sofa.
This is a larger, bolder pattern than the drape. I love the colors and character of it. These are the flowers on my china dishes.

Science experiment tonight. Dash asked me to do this with him. We got Daddy man in on it too. Then Dove had her curiosity whetted and it was all fun!

We taught about air taking up volume.

Daddy poked a hole in it and the towel got soaked and fell out.
The laughter was a delight.

My Beloved came in on me giving Dash a breathing treatment this weekend, he said I looked so beautiful. He ran over and grabbed the camera. He said don't move! The photo was a little different than he saw. I felt so adored the way he did that.

Dash had to have two breathing treatments this week. I am somewhat concerned for him.
He is so dear to my heart. I just hate to see him suffer.

For days there has been an ongoing game of manoply on the table. I had it put away today and they got it back out tonight.

Well the garden is watered and the laundry all hung. I love the clothes line. I worked on the budget spread sheet for three hours today. We are getting closer to our goals. We are reading our Dave Ramsey again. It looks like we could have some fun next year if we work hard to conserve and plan. I am so happy to have the responsible attitude and the follow through happening jointly. We must stay determined and see our dream come true.

It s late and I need to rest a while.
I did my homework with the kids tonight so I am ready for Bible study tomorrow.
I hope to have a better attitude about the click stuff.
My sister is settled in the nursing home tonight and should be staying there untill next week or so.
She is in a bad way with pain. Please remember her in your prayers.
All of you who are still out there are dear to me. I have lost my momentum on the blog a bit.
I might do a tutorial soon or write something. Just been a full month. My head swims with all that is required of me right now.
I am so loving it.
I will be doing service work at the kids school on Wednesday. Two hours with each teacher.
I really like Doves teacher her and I get along well and she was really moved when I thanked her for all she did for ALL of the children....
she said "Wow appreciation, that felt nice..."
Remember to thank your kids teachers tomorrow.
You home schoolteachers remember to show your own self some appreciation.
You are making a difference!
