A new week!

Mrs. Organization strikes again! What a wonderful feeling now to have a garage that is more orderly and manageable. The addition of THE shoe rack necessitated a modification there. The whole space now looks so nice. My spring organization/clean now moves inside onmy next break to the kitchen. We need to have someone look at the non-functioning ice maker, so a good time to spruce up all over in there--appliances, cupboards, etc. I enjoy caring for my home! I'm grateful for these beautiful surroundings and conveniences that enhance my/our days.

It's Easter Bunny time, too!! Another fun thing on my Monday/prep day/home day was decorating in a simple way the garden window. I'd found the Easter container in the garage--THAT's where it was! We're now ready for Easter...and little boys who like to come and hide Easter eggs. Lady Bunny and her basket of eggs are near the window by the front door, ready and waiting for them to "practice"!! A quick trip to town with dad tomorrow for a meeting will allow me to find a few more "yard things" for the boys now that the weather has gotten SOOOOO pleasant.

It's great to read about spring where you all are, er, fall for Erin? Or is it called spring anyway? I need a clarification on that. Pondering vacation time ahead these next two weeks for Megan--work and soph. English to do. . . student teaching assignments for Jen, work and baby preps for Erin, and school concerns for Trevor. Perhaps you all remember that mom made it a point to be sure you were all ready for kdgn...and that our summers we always held some sort of "homeschool" and supplemental, organized daily activities. Supplementing what the schools did was a part of my parent mission since I was concerned way back then with education in Hawaii. It is now needed today, too, no matter where one lives.

Thought for today: Janice and others: Happiness is a choice. The 90- 10 principle applies: We choose 90% of what happens to us, 10% of what happens to us we don't get to choose, but we do get to choose our attitude. Yes, I need to remember that, too!! L2U all.
