The Simple Woman's Daybook




FOR TODAY

Outside my window...
There is a heavy overcast across the sky. Rain steadily falling, reminding us that spring is here!
I am thinking...
About some things from my past. My hurting big brother and his 4 little kids. My big sister and her fragile yet loving heart. My little sister who has forgotten me, and my baby sister who I am diligently praying for.
I am thankful...
Grace heaped upon grace. For my marriage which is blooming with beautiful blossoms
I am wearing...
My Red,Black and Gray Flannel shirt. It is my favorite Pajama shirt, warm and cozy. With Black yoga pants.
I am creating...
Fun drawings on my phone. It's an app called draw something. Like pictionary. It is so much fun and I love that I can play against friends from all over the country.
I am wondering...
How some women can be so devious,manipulating and evil. Caring for no one but themselves, even their kids take a back burner. I just don't get that type of person. In fact I can't stand people that are like that in general.
I am reading...
My Fitness Magazine as of lately. I haven't really had a desire to read. 
I am hoping...
That truth will come to light and that peace will be restored.
I am looking forward to...
Our trip in April. I know it is about a month away, but we plan on going up to NJ and seeing some family, and then we will head to NY. I've always always wanted to go to NY!
I am learning...
That it is difficult to eat healthy, and it is expensive. But I heard on a documentary that most Americans have our priorities wrong. We would rather drive a nice car, wear fancy clothes but go cheap on the quality of food we feed our body. This really made me think about how important it is to buy good quality foods and exercise and to pass this to my children for their health sake. 
Around the house...
My little Ellie Bear is watching Laurie Berkner. My son is patiently waiting for my Tablet to charge so he can play on it and my oldest is doing her Arithmetic.
I am pondering...
If we will be able to buy tickets to go see Laurie Berkner at the Laugh Fest. This would be such an awesome thing for the kids, since they all love her music!
A favorite quote for today...
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."
– Helen Keller
One of my favorite things...
Coffee. I haven't always loved it as much but it has been my comfort as of lately.
A few plans for the rest of the week:
I have a few new recipes that I will be trying to make. Abby began voice lessons, Meeting up with a friend on Wednesday for dinner and of course, working out.
A peek into my day...
This is my Joey. He has fallen in love with his back pack. He wears it all day long, every day. He has all of his most favorite toys inside. He even sets his back pack next to him in his bed.

Okay. I guess I'll try this again. lol I was just saying that I was so agreeing and nodding my head, relating to most of what you wrote. Wish we could share and chat over a cup of coffee. I know we'd spend a lot of time crying, but we'd spend most of the time laughing are booties off. xo
