Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY...Tuesday, October 26, 2010

Outside my window... its stopped drizzling and today was sunny, slightly breezy and cool. Perfect sweatshirt weather.

I am thinking... about Doorbuster's 1st birthday party, finances, and schoolwork we have done and will do next.

I am thankful for... healthy children, a nice house on a quiet street, the time we have been spending with friends lately.

From the learning rooms... lots of reading, and lots of math. Lots and lots of repetition, hoping that memorization will follow. And a month spent on Earthquakes that I loved, even if they didn't!

From the kitchen... Made a yummy steak yesterday, may have spaghetti
today, or pizza, as the stove is in the proccess of being deeply cleaned and I am not done yet.

I am wearing.. black yoga pants, blank nursing tank, pink workout shirt. Park day gear! Since we stay at the park on Tuesdays for 4-5 hours.

I am creating... Nothing at the moment. Creating a clean and organized house for the upcoming birthday.

I am going.. thankfully, nowhere but Awanas tomorrow. PE class starts next week. Then Thurs a teacher meeting, Friday a birthday party. I think Sat we actually can stay home before the Halloween crazies!

I am reading.. nothing at the moment either. Might buy the new Lee Child book. Just finished reading Scarpetta Factor. I love Patricia Cornwell's books.


I am hoping… for a smooth meeting Thursday. Sometimes my kids are quite a pain in the rear about what they have done the past month. I'm hoping for Daredevil to suddenly become a great reader. On a nerdy note- I'm hoping for the headless horseman mount.

I am hearing.. Baby crying, children explaining things to each other, Princess whining.

Around the house... we have grass in the backyard! Yay! Now I pray for a swingset. Things are getting thoroughly cleaned up for the holidays. We even decorated for Halloween.

One of my favorite things… Princess helping Doorbuster push a shopping cart around the backyard. He thinks the world of his sister.

A few plans for the rest of the week... trying not to loose anyone or end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Finish laundry. Build a igloo out of milk cartons.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing…
