Words from The Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window...



The skies are grey....winter is back...it is only 36*outside. Yesterday we had snow flurries. At least the wind is only slight today.



I am thinking...

A lot about my oldest son lately.....don't know why! Wonder what he is up to. The kids called yesterday to tell their parents about their up-coming trip to Walt Disney World and dad wasn't there so he was supposed to call them back when he got home but guess what.....no return call. They were disappointed. Don't know what to tell them anymore.







I am thankful for...



The wonderful benefactor that is providing this awesome trip for us to take the kids to Walt Disney World.







From the kitchen...



Are you kidding me.....who has time for the kitchen now days.



I am wearing...



my scrubs as soon I will be leaving for work.





I am creating...



Lists, lists, lists.....getting ready to go to Walt Disney World




I am going...



to work soon....Just had four days off and did not accomplish much of anything. Well besides the "Big Reveal" to let Darian and Harley in on the surprise that Papa and I and Marvin and Heather and their kids have known about for the past 3 months. It was a wonderful "surprise" birthday party for Heather. Took the kiddos about 24 hours to figure out that we really are going to Disney.




I am reading...



Blood Ransom.......A book about slave trade in Africa.!





I am hoping...



That soon we will receive that income tax check so I can start buying shirts for our trip.




I am hearing...



TV in the background....a soap opera




Around the house...



I have cleaned Harley's and Darian's bedrooms for the spring! Rest of the house to go




One of my favorite things...



is summertime. Wish it would get here soon. Wait I just gave a lecture to Harley yesterday about wishing her life away. LOL!










A few plans for the rest of the week:





I work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Saturday and Sunday. No real plans otherwise.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing.....

I am a simple woman and here is my Daybook

FOR TODAY

Outside my window...

The sky is a soft, baby boy blue. There is just enough breeze that I can see the tip of the American flag waving by the window. The sun is shining. And it is 69F. Oh I know that spring is on its way.


I am thinking...

About how much different this campout will be for Darian this weekend. The last one he went on in January was freezing cold with snow on the ground. Today they predict will get up in the 70's and tomorrow will be a high in the upper 50's. Although it will still get down into the 30's at night...maybe he won't freeze. That is if he remembers why it is important to change out of the clothers you wore all day into dry ones and to take his gloves.


I am thankful for...

the warm weather and the impending arrival of spring. The tulips and the daffodills are peeking through the ground out front.




From the kitchen...

Last night we all ate salads for supper. Can't wait for those big juicy tomatoes coming from my garden. Along with the cucumbers and peppers.


I am wearing...

my scrubs as soon I will be leaving for work.


I am creating...

Still working on the pictures in Picasa. Maybe I will get that done this weekend.


I am going...

to go to work...we have a new resident coming today Yipee skippy


I am reading...

A book names "Listen" Is about a small town with a website that someone is posting private conversations on.....interesting!


I am hoping...

For good news from the tax man


I am hearing...

a cartoon that Darian has on and he isn't even in the room


Around the house...

I want to start some spring cleaning.....Darian's room first. He won't be here all weekend.


One of my favorite things...

is eating potato chips with sour cream.

A few plans for the rest of the week:

off this weekend and Paige is coming over on Saturday so her mother can finalize the wedding plans

Here is picture for thought I am sharing.....

Tidbits From the beginning of March

FOR TODAY


Outside my window...
the sky is inky black but there are some twinkling stars. The temperature has dropped to 40F after a glorious 62F today. But, the weatherman says it will only get up to 40F tomorrow and we will have a brief taste of winter once again. These are the days after winter and before spring that I don't like.

I am thinking...
Why do I keep wishing that spring would get here. I am only wishing away my life. I should be thinking what a glorious day this was and be happy with that.

I am thankful for...
Girl Scout Cookies.....I ate a whole box of Carmel Delights all by myself last night as I was reading!


From the kitchen...
Papa went to Long John Silvers tonight and that is all the action the kitchen saw today. Maybe I will get back to cooking again someday

I am wearing...
still my jeans and my Pleasantview 5 Star T-shirt

I am creating...
I have been working on cleaning up the pictures in my Picasa account and I hope to start creating some digital scrapbook pages for the grand kids (hint, hint, Heather_

I am going...
to bed soon. I have a headache, and a neck ache and my eyes hurt.

I am reading...
Still reading Life, Love, and a Polar Bear Tattoo....I am slow! I am too busy to read nowadays

I am hoping...
spring comes soon....see, there I go doing it again.

I am hearing...
CNN from the other room. How much news can a man watch???

Around the house...
I haven't done much of anything. Today I did think that it would soon be time to start to clean out the flower beds. As if I need something else to do.

One of my favorite things...
is seeing members of my family. And today I saw and visited with my niece Debbi and saw my brother Chuck and sis-in-law Pam. Was good to visit with them all.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
this is my four day to work weekend and I don't plan any further ahead than that.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing.....
that is me catching a nap on the couch and some smart Alec kid with a camera.
