Outside My Window ...I see the first green tomatoes on my tomato plants.
***
I am thinking ...how complex teenaged boys are and how challenging the "summer of three young men" has been.
***
I am thankful for ...Michael, who painted the basement this summer.

I am wearing ... Khaki capris, a crisp white blouse, crocs and a ponytail.
***
I am creating ...more lesson plans (sneak preview at Serendipity in a couple days).
***
I am going ...to finish up my curriculum shopping and hang out with friends at the Northern Virginia conference this weekend. Great speakers lineup only five minutes from home--I'm looking very forward to soaking in some wisdom.

***
I am hoping
...for a second VBAC and I'm a little nervous about a very stretched out uterus and a kind of low placenta(would you say a quick prayer please?).
***
***
I am hearing ... lots of birds who are happy we filled the feeders yesterday.
***
Around the house
... we need to rearrange some furniture and adapt to our changing family.
One of my favorite things
...a day that begins bright and sunny after a good night's sleep. This elusive night has become my almost incessant prayer.***
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: a day with just my girls today (shh...I'm taking them for "real" haircuts!); a visit with my friend Martha; a new, improved exercise routine.
