Daybook - I Called, You Answered

Once I said in my anguish, "I am cutoff from your sight", yet you heard the sound of my pleading when I cried out to you - Psalm 31-23

Outside My Window - snowpocalypse 2.0 after an icy, snowy, slushy weekend. The snow just started swirling again right before I had to pick up my middle child from school. The roads were a bit dicey this morning but I survived the drive.

I'm Wearing - the best $25 I ever spent on clothes with a hooded sweatshirt dress, fleece-lined on the inside and blanket like on the outside. I'm of the mind that there is no bad weather, just bad gear. My snow gear needs to stand up to Ohio weather. For the rest of my ensemble, fleece-lined leggings, dangling earrings, and my tiara-like headband.

I'm Listening To - chatter between my husband and kids

I'm Reading - nothing of note other than the usual devotionals. I'm perusing my bookshelves to plan Lenten reading.

I'm Looking Forward To - virtual school days this week for my boy. He is the only one who is on campus everyday but these next few days they are all-virtual. I'm a homeschool mom at heart so when my kids are all home my heart is happy.

I'm Pondering - see above Scripture passage. It's from today's Mass readings and I was so struck by how true this is in my life. It's a reminder for me that once I'm done with the pity party, the Lord is still there waiting for me to snap out of it. I promise, my thoughts were more deep and eloquent than that lol.

What's Cooking - my daughter has a slow roast in the crockpot and she also baked a chocolate cake. Life is good for this mama on this Monday.

Homeschool Is Cool - seven wonders of the ancient world and such and some Lenten planning happening.

Mom Treat - one of the things I've splurged on is pre-made salads. I don't know about you but I usually have no appetite for foods I make. I love salads and I love it even more now that the grocery store makes it for me, saving me time, giving me variety, and making me eat something healthy.
