Outside My Window
I am thinking…
This is my last regular week of teaching science at our homeschool co-op. I told my students that I would be giving my evaluation of their class participation and their lab books to give to their parents.
This class being over is going to give me an extra three to four hours per week that I was using to do class preparation every week. That included getting materials together for experiments every week and looking for videos that went with the chapter to put on the class Youtube channel. I also had significant time into it at the beginning of the year to make the syllabus. Then, of course, there is actually teaching the class so I probably have over 50 hours for the entire year.
I’ll miss my kids, but I’m happy to reclaim that planning time towards something else.
I am thankful…
That Lent is going well for me this year. I’m putting in the time and effort and I feel that I am making progress in my prayer life this year.
I am pondering…
About 10 years ago, my homeschool group was growing, dynamic and I think really helping a lot of moms get closer to Christ and grow in their Catholic Faith. Then there was dissension in the group about a few little things and it almost dissolved into nothing.
I mention that because as I felt that I was growing in faith this Lent, Mr. Pete and I had a stupid fight last week about a new mattress!
And it dawned on me that whenever things seem to be growing in a spiritual sense, something like this can come in and cause discord! Maybe that’s what that last line of the St. Michael’s prayer means,
all the evil spirits who wander the world for the ruin of souls.
All is well now. I went to confession. Mr. Pete has his new and very high mattress. And since I’m no longer allowed to do impact aerobics, I use one of my aerobic steps to help me get into bed at night.
One of my Favorite Things…
Rosie was confirmed last week and Noah was her confirmation sponsor.
In the kitchen…
Izzy works nights this week and track practice has started. So I’m sticking with easy stuff this week starting with pork chops and mashed potatos tonight and meatloaf tomorrow!
I am wearing…
Grey Hanes work out pants, a long black thermal shirt and gray hoodie.
I am going…
- Arms and abs this week. Last week I put in 24 miles on my elliptical. Hoping to match that this week.
- Working through Above All this Lent.
- to cut my carbs via the Wheat Belly Total Health: The Ultimate Grain-Free Health and Weight-Loss Life Plan recommendations
and Intermittent Fasting.
- Working on the “lose the mummy tummy” goal. I’ll be documenting that more in a special e-mail list. If you’d like to follow the ups and downs of that, click here.
- More flute practice this week getting ready for the 7 Last Words of Christ.
- Prepare evaluations of my students for my science class. If you want to see my Youtube Channel or syllabus for Physical Science sign up for my e-mail list.
