The Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today...

Outside my window... it's warm! Oldest dd just headed out for a walk. An empty garden holds lots of promise (just waiting for a break in sickness to do it!)

I am thinking... how I'm a little (OK, a lot) disappointed/sad that my favorite house got sold, but excited at the prospect of something perhaps even more perfect for us. I feel God is saying strongly, "Trust Me."

From the learning rooms... settling in to a semi-routine for dyslexia treatment. I'm still not getting done as much as I'd like to, but I have my daughter's (all of them!) emotional health to look out for too

I am thankful for... a dh who puts up with me and works so hard for us

From the kitchen... not sure yet. Something quick and easy since two sick littles aren't giving me much space for cooking

I am wearing... jeans, a tie dye t-shirt, an old sweater. Today's just a messy day

I am reading... my girls' Sonlight readers so we can better discuss in their new reading journals

I am hoping... the children will feel healthy very soon, that dh and I won't get it, that we can continue with house fix-up projects at a decent pace (next in line: painting over a poorly done mural in 11yo's room), that I'll know what to do regarding moving/purchasing when the time is right

I am creating... a new home, healthier kids

I am hearing... a Strawberry Shortcake video, the baby who just feel asleep on me struggling to breathe through his nose

Around the house... Monday always holds so much promise. A new week! Cool! (LOL, it's Tuesday I have trouble with..."gee, that 'new week' thing wasn't all it was cracked up to be") We'll probably paint a bit tonight. I'm guessing less than usual will get done by me today as I help wipe noses and oversee schooling

One of my favorite things... watching the sparrows come back to nest in our birdhouse and above our bay window. Chocolate chip pancakes, even straight out of the freezer. A dh who makes said pancakes most Sundays.

A few plans for the rest of the week... a pretty empty week for a change, busy in the million usual little ways but few big outings. Hopefully some walks, some cleaning, some house projects, and five healthy children and two healthy adults! :)
