Wrapping Up A Week

By , on 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.

It’s cold here in Bham too! We aren’t used to this! So glad also to be able to stay home and bundle up and do our lessons slowly. I’m going to just try to enjoy being together today and to stay warm!

Yes, a really cold one last night and the local feral kitties are hungry – the shaggy black one is hanging around the bird feeders this morning – we don’t have a fish pond!

Hope you get some required relaxation time this weekend Lynn – but even though tired it’s always a good feeling knowing you accomplished much during the busy week. We have friends visiting from Asheville – perhaps they’ll find it colder here than home in the mountains!! Have fun with your Sunday friends.

That’s a gorgeous painting – who’s the artist? I think perhaps you were his/her model!!

Stay warm -
Hugs – Mary.
