Making: in the lead up to belly dance camp my crochet hooks flew, using up leftovers to make a mandala which I turned into a cushion for a dear friend (Neika, if you're reading this, can you send me a photo? I forgot to take one)
Cooking: sourdough English muffins have made a welcome, wintertime addition to our breakfast menu.
Drinking: many many pots of rooibos tea.
Reading: the last three books of a long teen vampyre saga and loving the easy escapism.
Wanting: my goat to be pregnant.
Looking: for caterpillars, slugs and snails on my cabbages each day (where do they all come from?)
Playing: 'with friends' tournaments with my family and being amazed by my kids' brain power (again!)
Deciding: that right here is where our family belongs.
Wishing: that people that I love wouldn't talk about leaving - even though I know their life needs to take them away, I just want to hold onto them here.
Enjoying: teaching and learning with my kids.
Waiting: for our wood heater to be installed.
Liking: autumn sunshine coming through my kitchen window right now.
Pondering: how I'm developing as a dance teacher but still have no idea how I'm going to teach the choreography that is in my head to the students in my classes.
Considering: the new electric SUV car that is on the market that Stu really thinks we should buy.
Watching: the new season of Offspring - love that show!
Hoping: for a quieter month in June.
Marvelling: at the fact that my baby brother is turning 18 this week but it seems like only a minute ago that I watched him make his entry into the world.
Needing: more sleep! It's been a crazy week.
Wearing: right now, pjs, but I've been loving wearing my new hooded tunic dress to parties and concerts this week.
Noticing: that our homeschooling style is actually really relaxed and it suits us.
Knowing: that I'm good at all of my jobs (except housekeeping!) and that feels good.
Thinking: that I should really work on being better at the housekeeping part of my job.
Feeling: lots of love for my family and the collections of beautiful friends we have.
Admiring: my husband for managing to get on with his day to day work while being a passenger on the roller coaster ride that is our family life.
Sorting: nothing.... But knowing that we really need to sort out all of our craft materials (again!)
Buying: in bulk. Homeschooled kids who hate the supermarket are a great excuse for monthly shopping to happen.
Getting: used to the new routine of taking the kids to their different sporting activities.
Bookmarking: homeschooling ideas, recipes and homemade gift ideas.
Disliking: the government's decisions on just about everything.
Opening: my new edition of earth garden magazine.
Giggling: till very late with Sharon at our third very successful belly dance camp (yay!)
Snacking: on the last of the Easter eggs.
Coveting: the wood heaters in other people's homes (one more week till we have one too!)
Wishing: there were more hours in the week to fill with awesomeness.
Helping: my kids to find joy in learning and relax into homeschooling (though they don't need much help - they're feast at this!)
Hearing: The Waifs on my iPod (and memories of their concert in my head) and my kids singing musical style as they play invented games.
What a great snapshot! It sounds like home schooling is working really well for all of you. You sound happy!
