The Simple Womans DayBook





FOR TODAY

Outside my window...
A wee bit cooler this morning, but still really nice! The front door is open, the sun is shining and I hear cockerels crowing.

I am thinking...
I need to go make breakfast for the little ones.

I am thankful...
For friendships.

In the kitchen...
Coffee is ready and I'm on my second cup!

I am wearing...
Black Shorts and a red, oversized CCCB t-shirt, with my hair back in a headband.

I am creating...
School Planning.

I am going...
To work more on school planning today.

I am wondering...
How to make more time, and how I could possibly earn some more money.

I am reading...
Mine is the Night by Liz Curtis Higgs

I am hoping...
To stay better organized and on top of things this year.

I am looking forward to...
Our next Civil War Event!

I am learning
... More about the Civil War.

Around the house...
Dishes are now in the sink from Breakfast, School supplies are strewn all over the dinning room table, The girls are watching Horton Hears a Who in the living room.

I am pondering...
What God has planned for Einstein?

A favorite quote for today...
Too many books, too little time!

One of my favorite things...
Crisp, clean, morning air.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Work, School Planning, Chiropractor, Cook Out, Painting, and Church.

A peek into my day...
My mom, who 
"Fought the war and the war won."

The Simple Womans DayBook





FOR TODAY

Outside my window...
Its sunny! Its has been getting really cold at night and in the mornings but our daytime temps have been tolerable. Our poor Maple tree must be diseased. It is almost bare, sadly it has been dropping leaves for the past month, but there is a hint of a whisper of the wind in what is left.

I am thinking...
Of everything I have to do before school starts, 
Of everything I still want to do this summer before school starts,
and Where did summer go exactly?!

I am thankful...
For friendships. 
Being a mom, so often those friendships for us get put on the back burner. I'm really thankful for those friends!

In the kitchen...
Dishes are piled in the sink. 
Good Ole Boy made french toast for dinner.
I am too exhausted to do anything!

I am wearing...
Sweatpants and a nightgown.

I am creating...
A pile of school materials on the dinning room table.
A toddler Civil War dress.

I am going...
To be in bed soon.

I am wondering...
Where the snakes are hiding?
The girls saw three snakes Monday and Good Ole Boy hasn't been able to find them!

I am reading...
Nothing.
School Books are on hold.
Good Wifes Guide is on hold.
I haven 't had time to read lately.

I am hoping...
For more warm weather!

I am looking forward to...
Our next Civil War event!

I am learning
... How to sew.

Around the house...
Not much I guess.
Hunny has some toys out in the living room.
Kitchen is messy.
Dining Room has the school books.
Oh! Bug cleaned the School Room today! 
And we have been working on painting outside.
About half the garage is done, most of the shed, and half the interior of the chicken coop is done.

I am pondering...
What to do about Einstein.

A favorite quote for today...


One of my favorite things...
A babies arms wrapped tight around my neck.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Work, Digging out more school stuff for planning, A visit to the Chiropractor, A trip to the Alpaca Farm, and Church.

A peek into my day...
