Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY ... Monday, December 29, 2008

Outside my window...

The sun is shining brightly and

it looks far warmer than it really is.

I am thinking...

About all of the housework that needs to be done.

Getting the house back in order after Christmas celebrations will not be an easy task.

I am thankful for...

So many things. Family, friends, love, health, peace....

especially peace brought about by the prayers of others.

From the learning rooms...

Mostly focusing on Eli, so we'll be playing with

Play-doh, puzzles and bubbles, lots of bubbles!

From the kitchen...

I'll be cooking up some chicken for different meals this week

and making some vegetable beef soup in the crockpot.

I am wearing...

My favorite blue jeans and a grey hoodie.

I am creating...

This blog entry! Hopefully, I'll be creating a clean

and organized house this week.

I am going...

To run a few errands. I'd much rather stay at home.

I am reading...

Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer (again), and

planning a trip to the library today.

I am hoping...

for success in all I have to do this week. The list is

long and slightly overwhelming.

I am hearing...

just the hum from my computer and the tapping

of the keys. It's very quiet here today.

Around the house...

Things are a mess! For now, anyway. Eli is watching Spongebob

downstairs and the laundry has been started.

One of my favorite things...

Having a few moments of quiet time.

I don't always take the time to have that quiet time.

I'm trying to get in the habit of starting my day off with quiet,

God-filled moments.

A few plans for the rest of the week:

Lots of housework, school plans for my olders,

therapy time with Eli. Lots of errands to run this week,

and hopes for the new year!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...

Just another day in the life of siblings at our house!
