The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY April 27, 2009

Outside my window... it is humid and hot already.

I am thinking... about #3, and wondering what kind of day he's having. I'm second guessing myself (as usual) about the decisions I'm making about school next year.

I am thankful for... the wonderful day at the beach with my family yesterday. We had a great time together.

From the learning rooms... planning and praying for next year.

From the kitchen...a full pantry, thanks to my new coupon craze. I'll never go back to shopping the old way again.

I am wearing...jeans and a lavender top, my feet are bare

I am creating... doubt in myself, which is one of my biggest faults.

I am going... no where today until school gets out. Mondays are for cleaning the house.

I am reading... nothing right now. I need a good distraction!

I am hoping... that I'm doing the right thing for #3.

I am hearing... a truck down the road

I am praying... for guidance, as always!

Around the house... weekend mess awaits me.

One of my favorite things... being able to depend on God when I can't depend on myself.

A few plans for the rest of the week: de-cluttering the kids' rooms and laundry room shelves, taking Mom to the dr. Friday for a cortisone shot.



Here is picture thought I am sharing...

The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY April 20, 2009

Outside my window... the lawn has been mowed, my garden is looking sad, and I see a cloudy sky promising rain.

I am thinking... about our country, and how to best prepare my children for the future.

I am thankful for... God's blessings.

From the learning rooms... not much, still planning for next year. We've decided to send #2 and #3 to the brand new elementary school in our neighborhood next year. If we don't like it, we'll bring them home. We're still planning on homeschooling #1 and T, my nephew.

From the kitchen...the beginning of a nice stockpile. Tons of pasta and cereal bought for a song with coupons.

I am wearing...yoga pants and a tee

I am creating... a plan, as always. This one includes sending myself back to school.

I am going... only to pick up the kids this afternoon. All errands will wait for Friday.

I am reading... Stephen King's From A Buick 8, still. Almost done, though.

I am hoping... that I'm making the right choices for my family. My heart tells me I am.

I am hearing... the TV from the den, just background noise.

Around the house... several new games and activity sets for the kids, given to us by a friend, waiting to be be put away.

One of my favorite things... weekend Wii bowling tournaments with my mom! So much fun.

FOR TODAY April 13, 2009

Outside my window... it's cloudy and windy, and I'm hoping for rain

I am thinking... about some big changes

I am thankful for... God's guidance. He has opened my eyes to things I've been overlooking, and things can only get better from here.

From the learning rooms... some changes in plans. Homeschooling is still in our future, but differently than we had planned.

From the kitchen...dirty dishes that are waiting for me

I am wearing... jeans and a t-shirt

I am creating... a education plan for our family, including myself.

I am going... to pick the kids up soon, and then maybe to meet the principal of the brand-new elementary school nearby.

I am reading... Stephen King

I am hoping... that my husband gets some overtime this week. This economy seems hopeless.

I am hearing... the wind blowing through the trees.

Around the house... just weekend clutter to pick up.

One of my favorite things... realizing I'm right on track when I actually thought I was lost!

FOR TODAY April 6, 2009

Outside my window... it's cloudy and muggy, and there's rain in the forecast

I am thinking... about my Granny, who went home to be with our Lord last night. She was 97 years old, and passed in her sleep.

I am thankful for... The peaceful way my Granny took her last breath, without suffering.

From the learning rooms... still researching curriculum for the older kids

From the kitchen...today I'm planning meals and making shopping lists

I am wearing... capris and a t-shirt

I am creating... a plan for this week...it's going to be a busy one

I am going... on a field trip Wednesday with #2, class Easter parties on Thursday, and Granny's funeral in Georgia Friday.

I am reading... nothing right now

I am hoping... that this week goes smoothly

I am hearing... #3 tossing and turning, he's home sick today with a fever

Around the house... much cleaning to do

One of my favorite things... Easter! It's my favorite holiday
