Wrapping Up A Week

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Today’s Friday and we are wrapping up another week, and, well, just wrapping up!  It’s cold here this morning.  It’s 22 degrees as I write type and that’s cold for the Piedmont.  My goldfish pond is frozen.  The fish look like they’re frozen too, but I know they are not because I just saw one move.  Barely.  I’ll have to go out in a bit and break the ice. 

I’m so thankful this morning for home and hearth, food and warmth. 

It’s a good day to stay bundled up inside and just enjoy home. 

Though today’s a work day for me, the children will be close by and I can still supervise what’s going on.  That’s THE reason I love working from home.  Actually, being able to work in my PJs is not a bad thing either. 

We did a lot this week, but I am NEVER able to say we accomplished all that I wanted to do in a week.  Cares of life don’t go away, even if we are having fun with school stuff, and sometimes I need a break just to be me.  I ran so hard this week that I just sort of fizzled out yesterday afternoon.  Like a meteor flying across the sky, so bright, and then suddenly POOF.  Yep.  She’s out.

I did not cook supper.  I ditched the idea of doing what I had planned and instead my daughter and I got out of the house for a couple of hours.  We went to Sam’s club and bought the fixin’s for sandwiches, along with sunchips, granola and two-bite brownies. 

While we were out, I used a 40% off coupon at A.C. Moore to buy the first frame for one of the art prints I found awhile back at The Scrap Exchange.  I just love this print.  Love it!  The picture below just does not show you how pretty it is.

While out, I also bought some things I’ll need for Sunday lunch.  We’re hoping to have some friends over for lunch and a bit of afternoon visiting.  Since I work tomorrow too, I know it was a smart move to go ahead yesterday and buy what I need.  That’ll give me more time here on Saturday evening to prepare for Sunday.

Not much else to say except I hope you all had a productive week and that you have a GREAT weekend.  For those of you who live where 22 degrees sounds warm, bear with me.  :)
