The Simple Womans Daybook

FOR TODAY... March 1, 2010.... Really? March, already?

Outside my window...a little bit of sun, a little bit of a breeze. Nice day.

I am thinking...that I have to go work out this afternoon and I don't want to.

I am thankful for... friends who get it.

I am wearing... tennies, workout pants and a light blue t-shirt.

I am remembering...when my kiddos were much littler.

I am going... to probably flake out on my exercising.

Some plans for the rest of the week...Lulu has 4H quilting class tomorrow night, Conman starts a short-term gymnastics class tomorrow, library run while we're out tomorrow, yard sale this weekend.

I am currently reading... Laying Down the Rails by Sonya Shafer, The Bible, The Original Homeschooling Series. I finished "My Sister's Keeper" last night. No, I didn't cry in the end, but only because my husband was in the same room with me and I didn't want him to think I was a wimp.

I am hoping... that plans keep moving forward.

On my mind...tomato staking. See Raising Godly Tomatoes website.

From the learning room....things are going smoothly. Blakester & Lulu have just a few more weeks on some current subjects and then we'll move into doing history CM style with all of us together. Blakester & Conman will start working together on science when Blakester is done with his current book. We'll finish reading our bible story set in a couple of weeks, so we'll start reading from the bible where it ties in with our history.

Noticing that...things have been quieter the last few days.

Pondering these words... peace.

I am creating...nothing right now. As I'm winding down my clean out for the yard sale, I'm hoping to have some time to start on my Texas scrapbook.

I am hearing...the kids arguing-so much for quieter. And the hum of a lawnmower from our neighbor's house.

From the kitchen... homemade chocolate chip cookies, rosemary chicken, brown rice & broccoli..

Around the house... been pulling weeds while the weather's nice.

One of my favorite things...Starbucks White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha and an apple fritter-warmed.

From my picture journal... another random picture from my computer stash. This is kind of fun.

This was taken in June of 2007. Lulu & I were baptized at the same time. That's our pastor, Jeff, in the middle.

Have a wonderful day~
