The Simple Woman's Daybook

I thought I would do The Simple Woman's Daybook again. It has been awhile!

For today....October 26,2009

Outside my window....It is grey, cold, and wet.

I am thinking...I need to see my grandkids one day this week. They were gone last weekend and again next weekend.

I am thankful for...My home and family.

From the learning rooms...we took pre-tests in most of our subjects today. New spelling words and new read aloud for this week.

From the kitchen...Chicken tenders...breaded and fried for everyone else, but simmered in olive oil for me.

I am wearing...work out clothes

I am creating...Miniature quilts for Christmas gifts.

I am going...no where today!!

I am reading...Psalm 25.... is so it good!!!

I am pondering these words...."Shew me thy ways oh Lord, teach me thy paths...." Psalm 25 (read it all!!)

I am praying...for revival within myself!!

I am hearing...the little kids voices. I can make out "Let's ask mom."

Around the house...laundry needs to be done again!!

One of my favorite things...a hot cup of coffee and some quiet afternoon time with my Bible.

A few plans for the rest of the week:

Tuesday: Ladies Bible Study

Wednesday: Awanas

Thursday: Grocery Store

The rest of the week is open.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

April 21, 2008

Outside my window....the sun is shining, birds are singing and the day promises to be beautiful. Temps will be in the mid 70's

I am thinking....about our school week. After an entire week off, will it be easy to get back in our routine?

I am thankful for....my husband. (I know I have said it before)

From the kitchen....the dishwasher is emptied, coffee is ready (though 1/2 gone), meat is thawing for tonight's first official cook out of the year! Homemade macaroni salad is also on the menu!

I am creating....my 4 season swap and 9-patches...also cut a baby quilt, and planning several table runners.

I am going....to have a day at home...maybe even a week at home!

I am wearing....blue jeans, a green tank top, and my new slides.

I am reading....Becoming a Titus 2 Woman by Martha Peace

I am hoping.... to be able to begin a study with my neighbor.

I am hearing....birds singing outside my window. Everything else is quiet.

Around the house....children are sleeping in (it is 8:00), Sweetheart is getting ready for work, Kyle has left for his job. Monday's morning routines are done, and the dailies are waiting for me.

One of my favorite things....is to hear TJ say those words, "hey Grandma!, hey, hey, Grandma come here."

A few plans for the rest of the week....school, and play for the kids. I plan to get some serious sewing time in since the weather is nice. Rachel and TJ will be over alot, as TJ loves to play outside with the kids. Sweetheart does not have a day off all week and will be working late so I plan to make special dinners for him.

Outside my window....The sun is shining brightly and the birds are singing in tune.

I am thinking....that in less than 24 hours I will be leaving on my trip. The excitment is huge!

I am thankful for....My Dad who is funding the entire trip for me and my mom. Thank you Dad!

From the kitchen....coffee is hot in the pot and Kyle's lunch sits ready to go with him to work. The dishwasher is full of clean dishes. It is quiet, but soon, breakfast cereal and milk will be flowing freely!

I am creating....itty bitty, teeney tiny, half square triangles. I think I am out of my mind!!!

I am going....to prepare my home for 2 days without me. Easy meals for Sweetheart to fix and clean laundry for everyone.

I am wearing....my gown and favorite purple fluffy robe.

I am reading....Becoming a Titus 2 Woman by Martha Peace

I am hoping....and praying that Kyle's cough will get better soon.

I am hearing....Kyle coughing (he is very dramatic in his cough)

Around the house....little kids are still sleeping, Kyle is about ready to leave for work, Sweetheart is preparing to go to his job, and I am planning our day here.

One of my favorite things....is to sew with Charlotte. She has been "creating" doll clothing and also piecing the rows to her little quilt. Only one more row to go.

A few plans for the rest of the week....RELAX, finish my 4 seasons swap quilt and get it in the mail by weeks end (it is more detailed than I thought), RELAX, enjoy the sights and attractions of Galena, RELAX, pick up a bridal shower gift, RELAX, spend some time with Rachel and TJ, RELAX!

The Simple Woman's Daybook

Peggy at "The Simple Woman" is hosting a brand new Monday meme. I have participated in a few weekly meme's, faithfully to Tackle It Tuesday. I do not want to overload myself on these...there are dozens a day out there in blogland, but I have tackled about all there is to tackle and have decided to take part in this Simple meme on Mondays. I will still tackle, but not every Tuesday. This daybook will actually be a challenge and learning process for me. It takes few words and only ONE picture. A post from me with simple words, and only one picture??? Yes, I am willing to try it. Here is what Peggy says about doing the daybook...

"Now you can share with others a little look into your day plans and thoughts while you are focusing on the simplicity of the everyday moments around you. That is my vision for this idea! Slow down, take time and enjoy the moment...the day."

Please join in!! This will be such fun! You can visit other daybooks and link your own by going here.

So without further ado, here is my

Simple Woman's Daybook

April 7, 2008

Outside my window....I can see the wind moving the trees and what looks like rain clouds moving in. The howl is deep.

I am thinking....of the challenge of sharing my thoughts in such a simplistic way. Hmmmm.

I am thankful for....my husband, who works so hard inside and outside of our home.

From the kitchen....swiss steak is cooking in the crockpot for tonight's dinner. Breakfast dishes are waiting to be placed in the dishwasher, and my binder is open on the counter to remind me of this weeks focus cleaning.

I am creating....visions of my 4 seasons swap quilt. By weeks end it will be a reality.

I am going....to spend the morning home schooling and the evening with my family.

I am wearing....my favorite blue jean skirt, tights, a pink tank top, a black sweater (easy layers for power surge moments) and my black crocs.

I am reading...Titus 2:3-5 in every version I can find.

I am hoping....that God's refining fire will not get too hot while I study this.

I am hearing....silence. It is only for this moment....ok, it is gone now. I hear children talking.

Around the house....laundry is going, beds are made, coffee is gone, children are figuring math problems, and there is peace.

One of my favorite things....is the smell of the lavender, chamomile, and ylang ylang body lotion that fills the room right now.

A few plans for the rest of the week.....a friend coming for dinner tomorrow, some planned sewing time, babysitting for my grandson while the doctor checks my new grand baby, more blood work for Kyle, and what ever else pops up.

Picture thought I am sharing....hug your children.
