The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY

Outside my window...a beautiful sunny day with temps heading to the mid 80s

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

I am thankful...for all the brave men & women who fought so hard (past & present) for the freedoms we are able to enjoy.

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...just simple pasta for dinner this evening

I am wearing...pink sleep shorts w/ white flowers, a white T-shirt, barefeet (yes, I'm still in my jammies!)

I am creating...couple of photo collages for my parents' upcoming party

I am going...to take it easy today. We had a very busy weekend & were out late every night

I am reading...While I am still reading the following books, I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately. 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.

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

I am hearing...The Prophet mowing our lawn, The Princess singing to The Saint, & the occasional slamming of the garage door as The Archangel goes in & out & in & out & in...

Around the house...I'm slowing working through 31 Days to Clean - Having a Martha House the Mary Way. At the rate I'm going, it may be closer to 100 days, but I WILL have a clean, organized home!

One of my favorite things...the joy in the munchkins' eyes & voices as they watch fireworks, then keep an eye out for more as we are driving home

A few plans for the rest of the week...my prayer group Wed. evening; cleaning; "Mom Therapy" on Thurs; starting some summertime school work; grocery shopping; a party for my parents on Sat. (Their church is celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary & an early 30th anniversary for HandyGramps ordination to the diaconate.)

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...a few shots of our Beach Day last week.
