The Simple Womans Daybook

FOR TODAY... May 11, 2010

Outside my window...Windy. Not feeling at all like spring. Sigh....

I am thinking...that I need to start getting out of bed earlier.

I am thankful....for my budget.

I am wearing...jeans, long sleeve top, slippers and warm socks.

I am remembering....hmm...???

I am going....to keep planning for next year. To get a laptop before we move. To stop buying books. (for now)

Some plans for the rest of the week...not much for Wednesday or Thursday. If it warms up we may take that field trip yet. Maybe to Sacramento, Sutter's Fort. Saturday night, girl's night out at a Natalie Grant concert. Yippee!!

I am currently reading... Laying Down the Rails by Sonya Shafer, The Bible, The Original Homeschooling Series, Twilight-and I'm hooked. I can't wait to read the other books and watch the movies. I feel like a teenager!

I am hoping...I can get motivated to start exercising again. This is something I am so wishy-washy on.

On my mind...a relative's son was shot last night in town. Praying for a full recovery from surgery and the shooting.

From the learning room....will be finished with Pony Express this week. Conman is working on borrowing while subtracting and has already got the hang of it. Blakester's pollywogs started turning into itty-bitty frogs. Blakester and Lulu each received awards today at a ceremony for our county writing festival. Blakester 3 1sts and 1 2nd. Lulu a 1st and a 3rd.

Noticing that...I need to get back on my daily Bible reading plan.

Pondering these words...say what you mean and mean what you say.

I am creating...still nothing. I'm rather dull right now:)

I am hearing...the dishwasher running. Deadliest Catch on TV.

From the kitchen...ordered pizza tonight.

Around the house...cleaning out Lulu's closet. Cleaned out the office/school supply cupboard. Really need to clean the boys room.

One of my favorite things...vacations with my family.

From my picture journal...here is Blakester's little frog:


Til tomorrow~
