THE SIMPLE WOMAN’S DAYBOOKFOR TODAY FEBRUARY 16, 2009
Outside My Window...the sun is shining and the snow is almost gone. YIPEE!!! YIPEE!!! YIPPEE!!! Our yard is pretty messy from all the cold and snow. I think the kids might have a clean up party soon.
I am thinking...that this morning was a most excellent morning. Much needed.
From the learning rooms…school is a happenin'. All kids are doing great. Matthew is taking a break from geography while he waits on his wonderful mother to make copies of the next book. Cayla is waiting for a new grammar book...it should arrive in the mail this week. Other than that, all students are working on task.
I am thankful for...the sunshine, my husband, my children, my new car (paid for with cash), homeschooling, our church family, a potty trained 2-year old, salvation, friends.
From the kitchen...we had homemade waffles with eggs for breakfast. Not too sure about lunch and dinner. Maybe for dinner I'll make some potato soup and biscuits.
I am wearing...plaid, flannel jammy pants (Al would be impressed) and a grey short sleeve shirt. My hair is up in a ponytail and I have my favorite Costco socks on my toasty feet. Nothing beats Costco socks on a cold day.
I am creating...a spring cleaning/fix-it list.
I am reading...over notes from last night's Foundations class and Lucas' language book.
I am hoping...to get organized for this baby that is due to arrive in 29 days. I have nothing ready. I need to wash his clothes and blankets, get his bed ready, buy diapers, get the car seat out of storage, and a lot of other little things. I have been putting all this off because of lack of space. Where in the world am I going to put everything?
I am hearing...the hustle and bustle of a busy household...the washer and dryer, the kitchen sink water running, the kids talking, and the fire crackling.
Around the house...spring cleaning has started. With the arrival of Samuel upon us and plans of family coming for a visit, I figured I'd better get busy. The kids received "the talk" this past weekend about the upcoming cleaning plans. And let me tell you...they are thrilled.
One of my favorite things...is seeing my husband teach. It is his gifting. He teaches with passion and humility causing his students to learn easily.
A few plans for the rest of the week...Lucas has a friend coming over this afternoon (if he gets his school work done), Cayla, Katie and I are going to a friend's house tomorrow for a coloring party, school with the kids, more spring cleaning, AWANA's on Thursday night, hopefully a trip to Jan's on Friday.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
This was taken a couple of weeks ago. After all the snow, Cayla was itchin' to get her horse out for a ride. She was sweet enough to allow Katie to tag along.For more Daybooks, click here.

Sounds like your life is very full and filled with fun :)
I have tried to get organized for Spring cleaning but still haven't really started the "Big" clean--but I can feel it a coming on :O
Mrs. B is going to be calling you-about tomorrow-if she hasn't already :)
See you soon,
Sharon
I enjoyed reading your Daybook today. We're expecting too, though not until late July / early August. This week we're moving, and after that I really do need to get to all of the nesting things. The time goes by so quickly!
I enjoyed reading your Daybook.
Cleaning seems to be theme of the week on Daybooks, it feels great!
I hope you can get much done in the weeks to come.
Blessings to you and your family as you expand and grow.
Is someone Nesting? =) What car did you end up getting? Was it the one in the pic?
Hooray for your new car paid with cash!! Awesome,awesome, awesome!
I totally thought the same thing Elizabeth wrote about the nesting..lol. Imagine that:). I'm so excited for you and your little one's arrival!!!Just for fun my guess is that Samuel will arrive on March 7th :).
