The Simple Woman's Daybook




Peggy hosts this meme each week. Read other Daybooks HERE.

FOR TODAY
Outside my window...sunny sky, but after last night's (much needed) rain everything is very wet.

I am thinking...of all I have to do this week & trying to organize it in my mind.

I am thankful...that the rain slowed down enough for me to drive home from work safely last night.

From the learning rooms...one last continent to study this week - Africa; math skills practice; getting the school room organized

From the kitchen...I'm thinking something w/ zucchini tonight since I picked one from our garden the other day

I am wearing...a black cotton short-sleeved top, a long denim skirt, & barefeet

I am creating...(continuing to create) a home of peace & simplicity - clean & uncluttered!

I am going...to continue working through the 31 Days to Clean - Having a Martha House the Mary Way. Primary focus for me this week (deviated a bit from the ebook) is to get the school room organized.

I am reading...The Curious Adventures of the Abandoned Toys by Julian Fellowes (reading aloud to the munchkins), Amelia Lost: The Life and Disappearance of Amelia Earhart by Candace Fleming, Catherine of Siena by Sigrid Undset, & The Imitation of Christ.

I am hoping...relief from this heat wave.

I am hearing...the crackle of The Saint's mylar birthday balloon (it's lost its air, but the munchkins love squishing it)

Around the house...I'm still working through 31 Days to Clean - Having a Martha House the Mary Way. I love the reflections & tasks in this ebook.

One of my favorite things...listening to The Saint as he repeats the prayers he is learning

A few plans for the rest of the week...setting up physical therapy for my back, more cleaning & organizing, schoolwork, library, & "Mom Therapy" on Fri.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...This was taken for our church directory when I was about four years old. It's one of my favorites because it's one of the few times I liked my hair as a child. This was one of the photos I put on my parents' anniversary collage.
