Simple Women's Daybook

Outside my window... There is a heavy overcast. I feel as if the weather is emulating my heart at the moment. 


I am thinking... About Ellie's birthday coming up. Also Christmas presents. Money is so tight right now. 

I am thankful...For everything. But today I will mention our Praise team at our church, First Baptist Church of Middleville MI. I don't always know the songs but it always prepares my heart for the message. They have the perfect balance of Praise music and Hymns. I just love it!


From the Reading room... I am about to start another Ted Dekker book called Green It is the 4th book of the Circle trilogy! Read the Summary Here


In the kitchen...Ellie is digging through the snack closet, trying to find her 3rd pack of fruit snack. I think I'll have to say no this time! LOL 


 I am wearing.. Really? Do you want to know? Well, I'm wearing my exercise pants that are black with a purple waist band, a olive green t-shirt that I slept in and my black robe. ooo and plain white socks :D


I am creating...A plan. My big brother needs a headboard so I think I'm going to help him make one out of old doors. Trying to create a color palette for his room.

I am wondering...What I'm going to make for lunch. My husband and I both need to lose weight, so i'm thinking something simple will do. Low Calorie.


I am craving... A big bowl of Udon noodles (japanese noodles) I love how thick they are and because it is cold, soup sounds good.

I am hoping...That I can get all the laundry done, and all the clothes organized in our closets.


I am looking forward to...Going to my husbands work place today. Because of Halloween, the kids get to dress up and walk through his work to get candy! He gets to take a 15 minute break to walk with us.


I am hearing.. Abby in the dining room practicing her phonics, Joey and Ellie are watching a DVD sent by my mom that has songs and Bible stories. They love the short Bible stories followed by a song! And I love hearing Joey trying to sing with them. Such sweet music !


Around the house... There are a few things on the floor. That is going to happen with 3 kids. I'm pretty layed back so it doesn't bother me. At least not at the moment :D



One of my favorite things.. Right now my favorite thing is at night when the kids go to bed, my brother,my husband and I will sit and sing praise songs while my husband also plays the guitar. We don't have the best voices but it's always fun and we are praising God together, even in the storm.


A few plans for the rest of the week: Today we go to Miguel's workplace, then at 6 we go trunk or treating at our church, after that we'll hit up some housing areas by the golf course ! 


Here is picture for thought I am sharing.. This is Ellie watching the Bible Lesson with Abby. We started her on the A Beka program for homeschooling.
