As I look outside my window: The big storm has rolled through this morning. I think the sun is now trying to come back out and shine.

Right now I am: Prepping to make brunch, per usual.

On my bedside table: Ghost Station by SA Barnes; Cursed Cruise by Victoria Fulton and Faith McClaren - Guess I’m in a horror mood this week.

On my tv this week: Along with some news videos, we finished another season of Clarkson’s Farm. Now we’re ready to dive into the currently airing season.

Listening to: I am so close to finishing my epic audiobook. Hopefully I can slot in a few hours over the week to get it done.

On the menu for this week:

Monday - Bacon Cheese Peach Paninis
Tuesday - Leftovers
Wednesday - Lemon Ginger Turmeric Chicken and Rice
Thursday - Sausage, Spinach, and Potato Soup
Friday - Pizza Night
Saturday - Orecchiette with Sausage and Sun-dried Tomatoes
Sunday - Swahili Fish with Coconut Broth

On my to do list: Prepping for coop (I’m teaching on Thursday), prepping for the retreat (just a few small tasks to finish up), prepping for summer activities, prepping for next year’s homeschool curriculum. I’m big into planning and organizing this coming week.

Happening this week:

Monday - Zoo Day (It’s member appreciation week)
Tuesday - Strawberry Picking
Wednesday - Bounce U open session; Kid dentist appointments
Thursday - Coop (starting summer session)
Friday - Walk at Fontenelle Forest
Saturday - Home Day
Sunday - Breakfast Club

What I am creating: Mostly all the lists

My simple pleasures: Muffins (any flavor), checking off tasks (love to actually make that check mark), listening to the rain

Looking around the house: Things are getting cluttered and messy. Thankfully the huge pile in my breakfast nook will be gone in two weeks. Hoping that helps me feel calmer about the house.

From the camera: Okapi!
