• The Simple Womans Daybook 24 August 2009

   

  Outside my window………the temp. is climbing and the humidity level is climbing also.  I guess we should all be used to this by now.  I am trusting the weather and hanging the laundry on the line.  Time will tell if my trust is well placed.

  I am thinking……..I should be downstairs cooking instead of spending time on this computer.  A friend had a baby last week and I am taking dinner to them tonight.

  I am thankful for………..too many things to enumerate right now.  I need to concentrate real hard on the blessings right now because the other things keep trying to take over my brain.

  From the schoolroom………Matthew is working hard on his education.

  From the kitchen………will soon come the smells of chocolate zucchini cake, alfredo sauce, fried chicken, antipasto salad (does that have a smell?) mac and cheese for the little ones, and zucchini casserole.

  I am wearing……..white shorts, worn and faded blue denim sleeveless blouse, bare feet.

  I am creating……….a delicious meal for a friend and her family, a new quilt for another friend who had a baby about a month ago, and a clean home for my family.

  I am going………to the chiropractor then to drop off dinner to Jen.

  I am reading……….Graced and Gifted by Kimberly Hahn

  I am hoping………..that it cools down this week since my floors need mopping in the worst way and it has been too muggy to do it.

  I am hearing…………the sound of large feet walking around downstairs, sounds like someone needs me.

  Around the house………it has been a bit too quiet since MK left for school.

  One of my favorite things…………curling up with a cup of coffee and a good book.

  A few plans for the rest of the week………the usual round of holy hours and errands.  I’d like to get some sewing in too.

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

  

  I didn’t take this but I love this picture of my son “sword fighting”with my sister-in-law’s grandson Lane.  He can be such a man and such a boy at the same time.  I love the intense look on his face.
