The Simple Woman's Daybook....

Outside My Window…the breeze is blowing off the last of the leaves that the ice didn't destroy. It's sunny, but I have yet to leave the house yet today...honestly I haven't been out of the house since Sunday

From the learning room…I am still working on that skirt. It has taken a back seat.

I am thankful for…the two weeks I have gotten to spend with my husband and kids.

From the kitchen…homemade cinammon rolls sit on the counter.

I am wearing…A burgundy shirt and courdoroy pants and shoes.

I am creating…nothing right now....

I am going…to leave in a little while. Darvi is spending the night with a friend so I am taking her over.

I am reading…just my Bible....seems all I have time for lately.

I am hoping…the rest of the week is just as enjoyable as last week.

I am hearing…the kids play and the Storm Chasers marathon.

Around the house…its a little out of place, but its to be expected with the kids playing with al of their new toys at the same time.

One of my favorite things…fresh bread out of the oven

.A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Watchnight Service tomorrow night and then I am taking care of 3 of 5 children for a friend so they can leave for the weekend.

Today is December 1, 2008

Outside My Window…there is no sun peeking through, the wind is blowing, and mother nature has dumped her first 5 inches of snowfall on us. I love the snow....I was so excited to see the white blanket.

From the learning room…I am still working on that skirt.

I am thankful for…great friends and a great church.

From the kitchen…chicken and black bean soup sits in the crockpot, soup is perfect for this kind of day.

I am wearing…jogging pants and a T-shirt.

I am creating…nothing right now....

I am going…to leave in a little while. I have a chiropractors appointment and then back to the safety of home.

I am reading…just my Bible....seems all I have time for lately.

I am hoping…to be able to maintain a clean home during the craziness of the holidays.

I am hearing…Kayl playing in the background.

Around the house…the Christmas decorations are up. It looks pretty tidy, only breakfast dishes sit on the counter.

One of my favorite things…a good bargain.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Secret Pal Party on Tuesday night, Church on Wednesday, I have two hot lunch days this week, and a volleyball game on Friday.

Today…Monday, November 24, 2008

Outside My Window…it is cool and damp. The wind is blowing. It is overcast, and the smell of snow threatens.

I am thinking…of everything I have to do this week. I need to get it all written down, so I don't go crazy trying to remember everything.

From the learning room…I need to pick up some black thread so I can try to put a skirt back together. I took it apart to use it as a pattern for another one.

I am thankful for…my husband and my children.... I am truly blessed

From the kitchen…a sink full of dishes beckons to be washed.

I am wearing…jogging pants and a T-shirt.

I am creating…a new skirt

I am going…to leave in a little while. I am meeting a friend for a workout and then home to get ready for volleyball games tonight.

I am reading…just my Bible....seems all I have time for lately

I am hoping…Johns work schedule gets back to normal soon.

I am hearing…Kayl watching Enchanted. I can't believe he likes the movie.

Around the house…it looks like I’ll never catch up. I need to better prioritize.

One of my favorite things…having coffee with friends.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: volleyball games today and tomorrow, volunteering at Darvi's school on Wednesday, Thanksgiving with friends on Thursday, and hoping some Christmas shopping gets done this weekend.
