Simple Womans Daybook #2

Outside my window...It is so sunny. It's cool outside but is suppose to warm up to 81* today.

I am thinking...About so many different things. My family is enduring some difficult things right now.  

I am thankful...For my husband. He has been a rock for me and a constant support of encouragement and love. I couldn't imagine my life without him.

From the play room...The kids are watching Dora. My 3 year old and my almost 2 year old was playing Connect Four. Of course not the correct way but Josiah was counting each one he put in and Ellie was working on actually getting them in. I love that they play so well together.

In the kitchen...Again I have dishes in the sink, but not the same ones from my previous post :) My husband generally does the dishes for me and cleans up the kitchen but instead we opted to watch a movie together and said the dishes could wait.


 I am wearing...My husband white t-shirt and a black bubble skirt. In other words lounge wear.


I am creating...A paint pallete for my living room. Trying to decide what colors I want in here. Everything is black and white with just a little red and I think I want the walls to be a Teal Aqua and white.

I am wondering... If Abby is having a good day at school. Last week she was chosen for Student of the Week. So for 15 min each day she gets to talk about her interests. Today she brought in some glass jewelry we made together and she is going to talk about that.

I am reading...The Love Dare. My husband and I read this every night together before bed.

I am hoping...That the kids will go down for a nice long nap. That way I can exercise and clean up AND get lunch ready. Today my Big Brother is coming over for lunch.

I am looking forward to... Picking up Abby from School so I can hear all about her day. After homeschooling her for 3 years, I've missed having her around during the day.

I am hearing...The TV. Bubble Guppies is on.

Around the house... Things are a little out of sorts, but it should only take about 30 mins to pick up and vacuum. At this moment Ellie is trying to do a balancing act on the edge of the fireplace. This little girl has no fear.  


One of my favorite things today.... Is knowing that I have a family to spend it with. I miss my siblings and their families. And with all that we have been going through, I am just thankful for each day that I have with my own family.

A few plans for the rest of the week: I am going to Abby's school tomorrow to be interviewed by Abby's classmates. The kids and I will get to stay for lunch with her. and then on Fri. I have an appointment.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing..

This is Abby . Student of the Week. She is so excited to share her likes and dislikes with her classmates! I'm so proud of this little girl!
