Agenda - January 2nd

“Our words have power, but our actions shape our lives.”
― Rachel Hollis, Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are so You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be

 This is a brainstorming list of all the things I need to do after about three days of basically being a lazy napping sloth around the house.  It's going to be rainy and we'll likely be stuck inside, so it's the perfect kind of day today to do projects like this.  
  • All of Norah's laundry will be put away in drawers and her closet space
  • All of Sarah's laundry will be put away in drawers and her closet space
  • All of Chris's laundry will be put away in drawers and in his closet space
  • All of the dishes will be washed
  • I will cook dinner tonight - Spaghetti and Salad
  • I will give Winnie his kitten shots
  • I will read 3 chapters of my homework book
  • I will work on my family's updated budget spreadsheet for 2020
  • I will work on my schedule for next week in regards to teaching
  • I will lesson plan like I am going to teach GT again next week
  • I will crochet for at least 30 minutes
  • I will turn on the Etsy store again.
  • I will reorganize the bathroom closet into a linen closet
  • I will clean the bathtub and the shower
  • I will give Zoey a shower and brush out her hair
  • I will take a shower myself.

Top Three Hit List for today:
  • Laundry
  • Dishes
  • Personal shower
I am listening to "Girl, Stop Apologizing" by Rachel Hollis and I have about two and a half hours left in the audiobook.  I plan to finish listening to it today while I work on the laundry and my other projects.

Have a great one.
Love, Sarah

  It was supposed to snow this morning.  It didn't snow, and I am so incredibly disappointed along with all of the other teachers out there. I've got a song stuck in my head... "Alaska" by Little Hurt.  It's got explicit lyrics, but I wish I could listen to it at school because its super catchy.  It talks about moving to Alaska and hating snow but taking a chance and just doing the things.  I love this song and Norah knows all of the lyrics, which makes me smile when I hear her sing it.  My grad school class starts tomorrow and I'm actually really excited to start it.  I feel like I've got a good habit of waking up early to do things so I'll have a good routine set up for my "homework time".   I've also started doing crafts while I read or do grade things so it doesn't feel so much like "work", which is fun.  I'm currently crocheting 1) a hat, 2) a scrunchie hair bow thing, 3) a baby blanket for my neighbor's baby gi

So Come On...

"So Come On..."  -Death Cab for Cutie, Trasatlanticism  There are only four days left in 2019.  How are you going to spend them?  I am planning out several things for 2020, and I cannot wait to get started on the New Year.  Hence, The Lesson Plans for Living.   I was going to wait until after New Years 2020 to post this, but I am feeling rather nostalgic about things right now.  So here we go! I just did something that I've wanted to do for a couple of years... About 15 minutes ago, I renewed my domain and I'm writing once again.  I am so proud of myself for taking this opportunity and this leap of faith despite not having everything figured out quite yet. I have created this place as an outlet to write nearly three years ago and then I got busy with Life and it fell to the wayside, as did several other ideas.  I am the self-appointed Queen of Projects, but I am also the worst at finishing anything.  All of my ideas are constantly in progress.  I am OK with t

Not All Classrooms Have Four Walls

Image
I am embarking on a new adventure with our family as a homeschool Mom and I cannot wait to get started.  It feels like a natural transition to adapt to being a homeschooling parent, but I am crazy nervous about it all the same.  I found this quote from the picture above and it is providing me with some solace as I plan out my first week of homeschool.   "Not all classrooms have four walls." I have never heard this before, which kind of shocks me since I don't know if a more exact quote to my philosophy of education has ever been read before.  It's true...I feel like life is a great educator all by itself without formal schooling being involved.  Most of the history and science I have learned in my recent years comes from experiences in National Parks and nature in my own backyard.  Most of my understanding of literature or poetry comes from just reading, not what has been assigned to me as a student.  Maybe I just have a healthy curiosity when it comes to these things
