A Simple Woman’s Daybook – May 11, 2009

simple-woman-daybook-small Outside my window . . . just a few clouds in the sky and the birds are singing.

I am thinking . . . about how much I need to clean the living room.

I am thankful for . . . my wonderful family who gave me a lovely Mother’s Day yesterday!

From the kitchen . . . not much.  We have sandwiches on Monday and no one has started making lunch.

I am wearing . . . a Fort Wilderness T-shirt, jeans, white socks, sneakers.

I am hoping . . . that our gardening is successful!

I am creating . . . Mr. Math Tutor’s sweater – I’m on my second time through it.  I completely ripped it out before because the sleeves were too long and the body too short.  I’m also working on a purse for Rosie Girl.

I am hearing . . . the birds singing and Mr. Math Tutor talking to himself as he gets ready for an online tutoring session.

In the learning room . . . we have five more weeks of “school” left, but I haven’t scheduled any science during these five weeks.  Rosie is working on her research paper now while Wild Man is up in his room reading.

Around the house . . . the living room is a mess and needs to be cleaned.  The trampoline is put up so the kids have been playing on it for the last couple of days.  My desk needs to be straightened.

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . do schoolwork, organize little bits and pieces, clean windows, pray for few (or no!) migraines.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing . . . Wild Man made this for me yesterday for Mother’s Day.  He got Mr. Math Tutor to do the sawing, but he did the drilling all himself!  The inside part says “is always good to me”.

A Simple Woman’s Daybook – April 6, 2009

simple-womans-gazette-large

For Today...
Outside my window... blue skies, the sun is slowly sinking.

I am thinking... that I want to finish my menu plan so I can knit tonight.

From the learning rooms... Ga’hoole Girl read about hot springs; Wild Man has almost finished the second novel in the series he’s reading.

I am thankful for... My children

From the kitchen... Ga’hoole Girl is making coffee cake.

I am wearing... Blue jeans, a black 3/4 sleeve shirt, brown suede shoes.

I am reading... Christianity in Crisis, Sisters Ink

I am hoping... for a week with few headaches and lots of fun with kids.

I am creating... A sweater for Mr. Math Tutor – again.  I’ve ripped it all out completely, but I’m starting again.

I am hearing... “Eragon” (the movie)

Around the house... the schoolroom needs to be cleaned so I can order curriculum.

One of my favorite things... is hanging out with the kiddoes.

A few plans for the rest of the week... buying a dress for Ga’hoole Girl, schoolwork with the kids, worship on Friday and Sunday at church.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you... from the Milwaukee Zoo – there is so much irony in having flamingoes in the back left and a “Thin Ice” sign in the front right!
