Office Window View
Written by admin on April 28th, 2008I’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-Trackand print outPublish May newsletter forThe 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!!!

Office Window Thoughts
~A rose at my window.
~A window in my house.
~A house to live in.

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!

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.
