Office Window View
By Lynn, on April 28th, 2008
I’m currently in love with my new office. 
I’m blissfully happy with the thoughts of transcribing in here three days of each week, and I’m trying to train my mind already with thoughts of staying in my chair and making perfect each medical document and just enjoying that sitting time as a thinking and meditation time.
I think I can, I think I can…
From my office window, I can see the Queen Elizabeth rose in its glory. This particular type of rose is, unfortunately, not known for repeat or profuse blooming, but I am trying to get everything I can from it! It’s doing quite nicely so far, I think.
I have a list of things to do today:
School lessons with JoeGet all the week’s lessons typed into Edu-Track and print outPublish May newsletter for The Healthy HomeschoolPut Baked Beans on and cut up salad (ribs are already cooking!)Wipe down all three bathrooms (deep clean two of them) — see my cleaning schedule- Clean and declutter the master bedroom
Put all items for donation into the back of the vanA bit of desk work including some work on the check book- A quick trip to the grocery store (does it ever end?)
That’s all. But that’s enough!!!

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884

Oh, what is Edu-track?
Patricia,
LOL, I got some of it done. I did not get to one of the bathrooms other than just touching it up. I guess I’ll try again tomorrow. I also never made it to the store. My children are older, so it’s easier to get things done. I remember when I had a toddler in the house, it felt impossible to get things done!!
Edu-Track is a record keeping system that I purchased at the NC Homeschool conference several years back. It’s great, and I think there’s an even better version now that I’m gonna look for this year — provided I can transfer my current records to the new program!

Those roses are gorgeous!! What a lovely view!
Thanks, Robin! I have really been happy with this rose this year. The spring rains have helped. I need to get a book about organic rose gardening and see what I can do to prevent the inevitable black spot. I would love some repeat blooming as well, but I’m not sure if it’s possible.
