• The Simple Womans Daybook 22 June 2009

   

  Outside my window………I hear the birds singing so it can’t be raining.  I don’t wish to look yet, though.  I want to bask in the pleasure of ignorange.

  I am thinking…….. what to do today.  That’s a no brainer since there is much to do to recover from our trip this past weekend.  But I can dream can’t I?

  From the schoolroom………..there will be biology and math learned and some catechism worked on.  But for now all is silent as my two precious angels sleep with visions of their weekend adventures dancing in their heads.

  I am thankful for………..peaceful times spent with my family and memories that we make each and every day.

  From the kitchen………..I don’t know and it is too early to care.  I’ll address that issue later.

  I am wearing………..sleeping atire.  I think that I am still in vacation mode.  My mind is awake but my body refuses to acknowledge that it is time to get up.

  I am reading………..nothing.  No time.

  I am hoping……..nothing.  There is such contentment here that there is no room for hopes.

  I am creating…………..nothing at the moment.  But later I shall install a new zipper in Ian’s favorite hoodie and surprise him when he gets home from drill.  I am creating a surprise for my son.

  I am praying……….for lessons learned for Jason, for success for Ian, for safety for the big guy, for deepening faith and maturity for MK and Matthew and Adam, and continued love and devotion for Doug and I.

  Around the house………..it’s not too bad since we were gone all weekend.

  One of my favorite things…………..remembering the look and feeling of pleasure and contentment on my husbands face when he figured out our surprise for him.

  A few plans for the rest of the week…….. keep up with the gardens, get the camping equipment cleaned up and stowed away.  Daily mass and holy hours on Tuesday and Friday.  Maybe I can get some much needed mending done this week as well as the sweatshirt fixed for Ian.  Start riding our bikes to swimming lessons.

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

  

  I saw this tranquil scene when I was on my way to take Jason to report for duty last week.  Just had to stop and snap a picture.  This evokes many different kinds of thoughts about how and why that tractor is in the middle of the pond.  I know I like looking at it though.
