The Simple Woman's Daybook


FOR TODAY...October 5th
Outside my window...dark & cool, but no more rain. I did not get a chance all day to work on this, so here I am at bedtime writing my daybook!

I am thinking...that I hope to make it to my moms group in the morning. Looking forward to the fellowship & instruction.

I am thankful for...my husband, who is wonderful & funny & such a great daddy to our kids! Oh, and he does the majority of the laundry around here!

I am wearing...yellow/goldish shirt & charcoal grey Matilda Jane pants. No jewelry, as I reach a point usually after dinner when I cannot stand having any jewelry on for another minute! Doesn't sound so good right now, but it was very cute earlier today with my striped rain boots & bright red jacket.

I am remembering...that I still need to switch my office wall calendar to October, has September really gone?


I am creating...lots of mental lists.

I am going...to hopefully get to bed soon!

I am reading...The Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischman. Jack was assigned this book at school to read for a project & report. I had not heard of it, but read the first 20 or 30 pages tonight.

I am hoping...that we all stay healthy for a good long stretch now...like maybe for the rest of the fall & winter, that would suit me just fine!

I am hearing...quiet, blissful quiet!

On my mind...selling our house. Renovations starting on the new house this week. That we need to "put-up or shut-up" about getting our current house on the market...it's do or die time!

Noticing that...it's getting late & I need to wrap this up!

Pondering these words...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things...Philippians 4:8

From the kitchen...I need to go & put together the tomato-basil-mozzarella bites I'm taking for our luncheon tomorrow! Had a delicious chili tonight for supper, perfect for a rainy fall day.

Around the house...still those pesky closets needing to be cleaned out...I'm nearing the stage of just throwing stuff in boxes to get it out of here...but I would rather actually take the time to sort what we need vs. what we can get rid of.

One of my favorite things...AUTUMN!

A picture thought I am sharing with you...
Drew's first meal with the family in the big high chair!
Mmmmm, I like sweet potatoes & rice cereal!
