The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY

September 1, 2008

Outside My Window...the sun is trying to shine through the clouds. It looks as though it is going to be a beautiful day.

I am thinking...that I should be getting my housework done. The good news is that it will still be there when I get done with this.

From the learning rooms...the dust is being cleared away and the students are starting next Monday. I am anticipating a great school year.

I am thankful for...my children. They took such good care of me when I was sick.

From the kitchen...is the aroma of Tim's Incredibly Delicious Homemade Bread, an enormous amount of dirty dishes, and zucchini that needs to be shredded.

I am wearing...crocs, ankle socks, capris and a button-up shirt.

I am creating...still working on that cookbook.

I am going...to find pleasure in serving my husband and children. I love being a wife and mother.

I am reading...Creative Correction. I have several books on hold at the library just waiting for me to pick them up.

I am hoping...that the hay camping trip is a success.

I am hearing...Larah playing cards at the kitchen table and Andy Griffith coming from the living room.

Around the house...are signs of a happy and active family.

One of my favorite things...is spending time together as a family. This last week our family spent an evening hanging out in the living room listening to a Jonathan Parks CD. We all had something to do while listening. The time together was enjoyable.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...a couple days and nights of camping, a trip to the library, more organizing and ordering for school.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...
