The Simple Woman's Daybook

Peggy hosts this each meme each week & you can read other Daybook's HERE.

(Prepared Mon. evening for posting on Tues. morning)

FOR TODAY
Outside my window...we're in between storms/rain showers at the moment, but more are in store for tonight & tomorrow. As evening is settling in, the birds are singing their final songs of the night. There is a nice breeze drifting in the windows.

I am thinking...of building an ark!

I am thankful for...finally getting the callback from the doctor's office regarding scheduling tests for my back issues. I go May 6th for the first round.

From the learning rooms...long division for The Prophet, geometry for The Archangel, & subtraction for The Princess, studying the five senses for science, & continuing our study of Asia

From the kitchen...I cannot exercise right now because of my back, so I'm trying to eat better (VERY tough to do w/ all the leftover Easter candy!)

I am wearing...denim capris, a yellow knit top, my hair pulled back w/ a clip, & barefeet

I am creating...a plan for my upcoming weekend away w/ some girlfriends - a plan to relax & laugh a lot, in addition to lists of what to pack, what food to take, & what books to read

I am going...crazy w/ all this rain. I love thunder storms & I know rain is good for this earth, but do we really need a year's worth dumped on us in two weeks?

I am reading...Coast Road by Barbara Delinsky, The Imitation of Christ, & trying to decide what my next review book will be for The Catholic Company

I am hoping...we will continue to see more of The Archangel's smile (see photo below!) & less of his anger outbursts.

I am hearing...birds chirping outside, the occasional shout of joy from neighborhood children, & the sniffles of my allergy-suffering munchkins

Around the house...back to clutter, clutter, & more clutter.

One of my favorite things...the uninhibited laughter of a child.

A few plans for the rest of the week...Mom Therapy w/ my dear friend, speech therapy for The Archangel, fighting allergies

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...Isn't that a wonderfully, sweet smile?
