The Simple Woman's Daybook

THE SIMPLE WOMAN’S DAYBOOK
FOR TODAY
JANUARY 26, 2009

Outside My Window...the snow continues to melt at a very slow rate. The sun is shining and it is a whoopin' 34 degrees. At this rate the snow might still be here in June.


I am thinking...I love home. I love doing home things...cleaning, cooking, laundry, school with the kids, being a wife to Tim. There is no place I'd rather be.


From the learning rooms…Lucas took the day off to be with his Papa. Justin, Matthew, and Cayla are wrapping up their school day. Cayla and I did a fun project for geography in the bathroom that included a globe and a flashlight. We had fun and she was able to do a hands-on activity about night and day.


I am thankful for...marvelous Mondays and warm fires.


From the kitchen...not much is happening yet. Tim and Lucas did grocery shopping today so when they get home the kitchen will get quite busy.


I am wearing...capris and a sweatshirt. I absolutely love being pregnant...but I am ready to wear my normal clothes again. Everything I put on feels so confining.


I am creating...nothing.


I am going...to clean our room after writing this post. Monday at our house is 'clean sheet' day. So I figure this is a good time to clean our room. I know Tim will appreciate a clean, fresh room when he gets home after being gone out in the big, bad world all day.


I am reading...Naked Fruit, A Woman God Can Use and my Bible.


I am hoping...that Tim's brother and family come for a visit in March. We haven't seen them in quite sometime and it would be great to get together. I need to get my hands on Baby Jonathan. If they do come, it will be the week of March 16th. I am due March 17th. Could get pretty interesting in the Walker home.


I am hearing...Larah and Katie playing behind me on the kitchen table, the hum of the dryer, Justin and Cayla conversing in the hallway, and the crackling of the fire.


Around the house...everything is as it should be. With one exception...Tim and Lucas are not here with us. But Tim just phoned and they will be home in about 1 1/2 hours. I can't wait.


One of my favorite things...is receiving gifts just because. Two weeks ago, my midwife gave me 12 creme brulle candles and 4 candle holders. She got them from Pier One Imports just because when she saw them she thought of me. How very cool! Then this past week, I received in the mail a cookbook from my brother-in-law's mother-in-law. It is one of those really fun church cookbooks with hundreds of tried and true recipes. How very cool!


A few plans for the rest of the week...I don't really have any special plans for this week. My calendar is empty. I would like to take Katie on a date. I have some stuff to take to the thrift store and a coupon for a buy one adult dinner, get one kids dinner free...we might have to kill two birds with one stone.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...Can anyone guess what these are???
