The Simple Woman's Daybook.

FOR TODAY...

August 17, 2009

Outside my window...

It is dark and the stars are shining. It is nearly bedtime as I prepare this for
tomorrow.

I am thinking....

I am thinking how unbelievable it is that shcool is once again starting.
For this year it will be:
Kelsi, a junior
Darian, a 6th grader
Paige and Harley will be in 4th grade
Piper will go to 2nd grade
Willow will attend another year of pre-school (although I know she
will be the smartest one there)
Tucker will stay home with mommy a few more years.
And Katie has decided to sit out a year before she starts to college.

I am thankful for.........

I am thankful that we have what we have and that we are managing
okay.

From the kitchen....

This weekend we made 2 loaves of zucchini bread and 24 cupcakes.

I am wearing.....

I am wearing my pj's as I am headed to bed.

I am creating....

This weekend I taught the girls how to make friendship bracelets.
And even the boy made some.

I am going..........

I am going to miss the kids when they start school. (well a tiny bit anyway)

I am reading....

Finally, I finished 'Abbreviating Ernie' I guess I will start a
Danielle Steel book tonight. I need to go to the bookstore.
You know that when I resort to Danielle.

I am hoping.....

I am hoping some good hot weather returns.

I am hearing....

I am hearing the hum of the fan and the soft breathing of a
sleeping grandson.


Around the house...
My Housework
The laundry is piled high.
Dishes are stacked to the sky.
I'm out of everykind of soap.
I guess I have no hope.

There's dust from door to door.
And dirt all over the floor.
Wy should I dust anyway.
When the sweeper broke today.
I won't let it ruin my fun.
Since I didn't get my work done.
We'll all go out to dinner tonight.
I'm sure everything will be alright.

Paige will stay on Thursday.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...
