The Simple Woman's Daybook

Peggy hosts this meme each week & you can read other Daybooks HERE.

FOR TODAY

Outside my window...a beautiful Sunday evening: mid 70s temps, clear skies, & very comfortable

I am thinking...I've got too much on my mind at the moment & having trouble sorting it all out.

I am thankful...for chocolate!

From the learning rooms...taking a book trip to Europe & Africa to finish up our continent study from this past school year

From the kitchen...cleaned up after our dinner: pot roast & potatoes w/ Tastefully Simple's Greek Rub, buttered carrots, salad, fresh berries, & bread

I am wearing...black capris & a light blue Patriotic T-shirt w/ sparkly butterflies

I am creating...two projects: a couple of photo collages & Chore Service Agent badges for the munchkins (hoping this will help them focus on helping out more in a fun way)

I am going...to take it easy this week, we went somewhere everyday last week & I need a break!

I am reading...Hungry Souls by Gerard J.M. Van Den Aardweg, Wholly Mary by Chris Padgett (my newest review for The Catholic Company), & The Imitation of Christ. (Yep, I know that's four books!)

I am hoping...for peace & much less bickering in our house.

I am hearing...the munchkins enjoying a GameCube game; The Saint & The Princess giggling while Casinodad is attempting to change The Saint's diaper

Around the house...got a LOT of weeding & lawn work done over the weekend

One of my favorite things...Coconut Twix bars (just found them at the store the other day & they are VERY good)

A few plans for the rest of the week...follow-up appt. w/ the psychiatrist for The Archangel's meds; cleaning; "Mom Therapy" if all kids are well; starting some summertime school work

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...The Princess & HelpfulGrammy at the airport, waiting for our first flight. This is after The Princess had a bottle of juice & a HUGE chocolate-chocolate chip muffin from Starbucks. Between the sugar high & the excitement, she was definitely full of energy!
