The Simple Woman's Daybook

This isn't the post that's been writing itself in my mind, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. It's Monday and I'll continue with the Simple Woman's Daybook.

Outside my window... the kids are yelling and laughing their way through recess.


I am thinking... that this is more than a little scary.






From the learning rooms... we're working on our 10,000 hours, starting with 1.


I am thankful for... the trust of others.


From the kitchen... the smell of barbeque chicken for a potluck at noon.


I am wearing... new jeans that are almost too long. Imagine!


I am reading... "Doubting Yourself to the Bone" and anticipating meeting the author in a couple of weeks.


I am hoping... to find the ambition to work a little.


I am creating... patches so my children don't look so neglected.


I am hearing... the sizzling of the chicken frying.

Around the house... the basement still needs a lot of organizing.

One of my favorite things... spending time with friends.

A few plans for the rest of the week... an awards assembly, potluck lunch, another sleepover on the weekend.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

First day of school 2006: before I knew that BOTH school-age children would receive academic awards. Way to go, girls!
