Real Life at It's Finest


And here my internet folk is real life at it's best... Me in my sweatshirt cause I am cold from just walking on the elliptical while doing a spelling test with the youngest and no makeup cause I just don't have time today.  I am also desperately trying to finish grades for the end of the semester this week.  My oldest is taking a test.  I had cold coffee and fruit snacks for dessert.  The pile of books that I need to read for potential curriculum and pleasure (I just carry them around with me hoping to find time.) The coats and bags from Sunday church still sitting in the chair. There is a white reflection in my new reading glasses because there is a ton of snow outside and it is cold and grey kinda day, a blah day. The laundry in the background needs to be folded.  Notice that our dining room table is in the living room because you can vaguely see the ladder and tool box in the background of what was the dining room.   That is because I got gift cards for paint at Christmas and I really wanted to make the dining room look better  and my hubby is putting in extra long days at work (6/10's) and coming home and making our home better too! Oh and did I mention the road trip we are taking on Saturday for a week... yeah... that my folks is real life at it finest!

Princess #2 made her first public appearance with her violin.  It was a pale comparison; but beautiful, to our pianist for who for more years than I can count; has retired and this is the first offertory after her retirement.  You will be missed Krista, we are praying for you.
