• The Simple Woman’s Daybook Monday 4 May 2009

  

  Outside my window……….the sun has risen, the inhabitants of the house have too.  It is cool out and sunny and looks to be another nice spring day.   That’s good since there is a mountain range of laundry to do today.

  I am thinking…….of all that needs to be done before we leave for SC tomorrow.

  From the schoolroom……..nothing, nada, zip, nothing. And it will stay that way for another week.

  I am thankful for…….the weekend just past.  All of my children, while not all in this house at the same time, were at least all in the same state. 

  From the kitchen………..thank God for the leftovers that we  brought home from a friend’s house yesterday.  Too busy today to do any cooking.

  I am wearing………..navy sweats, blue nightshirt.  I am waiting my turn in the shower.

  I am reading……….still working on Henry VIII

  I am hoping……..to get an awful lot done today. 

  I am creating…………order from chaos, a plan for packing, a way to get four of us ready and out of here in good time tomorrow.

  I am praying……….for a safe trip and happy time spent with family.

  Around the house………..don’t ask!

  One of my favorite things…….waking up and being surprised by a visit from one of my soldiers.

  A few plans for the rest of the week……….too much to mention.  The goal is to get this house clean, laundry done, meals planned for those who are staying behind, packed and off on our trip without losing my mind.

  Here is a picture thought that I am sharing with you…………

   

  Look what the cat dragged in early on Saturday morning.   We have him for the whole month of May.
  

  

  This is what you get when your prayers are answered to have your sons home together.  Lots of large bodies being thrown about.  As long as it is outside I don’t mind in the least.
