The Simple Womans Daybook Monday 23 November 2009
Outside my window………it is dark. Too early for the sun to be up. But they tell me it is always darkest just before you turn on the lights so I expect that it will get lighter any time now.
I am thinking……..about each individual person in this family and each precious happening. Also my mind is crowded with details of things I need to get done before our flight leaves tomorrow morning.
I am thankful for………an understanding husband who works hard to make this a harmonious home.
I am wearing…….long johns. Haven’t thought about what to wear today or getting a shower yet.
I am going…….nowhere! Too much to do.
I am reading………Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge (again) and Friends of God by Josemaria Escriva
I am hoping……..that Doug gets a call today? about the job. It would be so nice to go away knowing for sure that he has it or not.
From the schoolroom…….no book work this week. Matthew will spend the week learning about family relationships firsthand. He will be meeting relatives that he has never seen.
From the kitchen……..I’m not sure, it will have to be something hearty since Doug is doing a tiling job today. He will be outside digging in the dirt and spreading mulch. Perhaps a nice pot of Pasta e Fagioli
Around the house……..I must accomplish two days worth of work in one. Today’s and tomorrow’s laundry. Today’s and tomorrow’s cleaning. It all has to be done today.
One of my favorite things……..listening to morning sounds. Ian preparing and eating his breakfast, Doug and Ian chatting about what needs doing today, the dogs snoring in the livingroom.
A few plans for the rest of the week………get today’s work done, pick up MK from school, pack, then get a good night’s sleep and fly out to South Carolina tomorrow.
Here is a picture thought that I am sharing with you…….
Don’t mess with this girl when she is doing Chemistry. If looks could kill I would be six feet under and pushing up daisies!
Matthew spent yesterday happily making himself a new pair of pants and a jacket. Gotta love a man who can make his own clothes.

Hope your day is as productive as you need it to be!
Enjoyed your entry… Yes, the doggy snores.. so precious. My little Muffin man was snoring a bit ago, he’s the tiniest one but snores the very loudest.
Love the sewing pic, I need to send the pic to our great nephew… We were telling him about your Obrien and other men who sew, we are trying to get him to sew too… We told him he could soup his machine up with smoke and everything… even stick-shift gears… LOL I really would send this pic if I had the email. That is great. The girls have another guy friend too who sews, he sewed Rebecca a very nice padded camera strap with initials and everything.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving! Psalms 91.
