(or more correctly TONIGHT)
Outside my window... Snow, snow and a freezing wind.
I am thinking... if I've chosen the "right" word for my One Word "challenge" and wondering what Cora's word will be. :)
I am thankful for... my healthy, recently quite trying, children and Life with its trials and glorious moments.
From the learning rooms (if this applies)... not sure what "the learning rooms" mean but I'll interpret it as "lesson's learnt today" and a quote from Albert Einstein sums up todays lesson learnt perfectly. "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
From the kitchen... sound of the dishwasher and the shine of the christmas lights in the window.
I am wearing... my lounge-about-sweats, a pink tee with white polka dots and my grey wooly slippers.
I am creating... Chaos?
I am going... to try and get through.
I am reading... Reality and radiance: The life and autobiographical works of Emilia Fogelklou (in Swedish) by Emilia Fogelklou
I am hoping... I get through and do so without regret.
I am hearing... the children finally fast asleep and (I think) an airplane (or is it a car?) in the distance, the kettle boiling for my evening cup of tea.
Around the house... our semi-organised chaos. Toys, lego and train tracks spread across the floor (I had no energy to get little ones to tidy up before putting them to bed)
One of my favorite things... hearing the little ones sleeping. :) So beautiful, peaceful and innocent...drains me of any lingering frustration after a loooong day.
A few plans for the rest of the week... finish my essay due Friday. Visiting my best friend to view their new house and going to Disney on Ice with kids my mum, sisters and nieces (courtesy of Mum ♥) at the weekend.
Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
Joined in on this lovely idea I found on Cora's blog. Original idea found at The Simple Woman's Daybook. :)

That is a breath taking photo...you should print that and hang it up!
I cannot wait to see what your Word is! <3
I love the photo of your front yard!
Einsteins quote is great - and needs to be repeated often. Because I forget and do the same things. over. and. over.
I found your blog by visiting The Simple Woman's Daybook. I have to say that the photograph of your front yard looks unreal, like a wonderland. Just beautiful. The word of the year thing is something that I've done in the past (and am doing this year) and I really have been grown as a person each time.
I often use this quote of Einsteins with my kids. Because they are 12 and 14 and keep making the same "wrong" decisions expecting that I will "let it go"! I love your front yard picture too! Beautiful
Cora: Thank you, looking forward to yours too. :)
Jerralea: So do I and I always get the same result! ;) Thank you for visiting.
Jamie: Hi, thanks for stopping by. :) I hope the word of the year will prove fruitful. :)
monicaelaine1: So nice to see new people in my little blog. :) Einstein certainly was a genius in many wasy. He was a very insightful man.
