Happiest at Home...


Jun. 30, 2008
The Simple Woman's Daybook

Posted in A Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY, Monday, June 30, 2008

Outside my window... is the sound of lawn and cleaning machines, as the landscapers tend to the neighborhood park and cleaners tend to the home for sale next door.

I am thinking... of the wonderful Catholic home educating conference my husband and I attended this past Saturday.

I am thankful for... wonderful friends, a solid family, the gift of home educating my children, and a husband who, no matter his frame of mind, gets up every morning and cheerfully heads off to work - for US.

From the kitchen... cries the breakfast dishes, moans the lunch waiting to be made, and sighs contentedly the dinner that is planned.

I am creating... Christmas gifts, bookmarks, and lists - I *love* lists!!

I am going... to take Piper and a friend to the church laser tag social tonight.

I am reading... the Tea Shop mysteries by Laura Childs, assorted biblical readings, and Catholic apologetics books by Patrick Madrid (a speaker at our conference over the weekend).

I am wearing... a lipstick pink skirt with white embroidery around the hem, a sleeveless, white eyelet shirt, my new white-with-pink-rosebuds slippers, and a brown barrette.

I am hoping... to get much accomplished this week!

I am hearing... Jigger practice his Irish dance along with a dance DVD workshop.

Around the house... I need to focus on cleaning and clearing out the accumulation that happened while I was lesson planning these last few weeks (that I finished last Friday, thank-you-very-much!).

One of my favorite things... is watching Jigger dance, and listening to Piper play.

A few plans for the rest of the week... take the boys to laser tag tonight, run to the library, attend a memorial service, celebrate the 4th of July with my men, and head north to cooler climes on Saturday so Piper can perform with his band in a parade.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

Thank you to Peggy over at The Simple Woman.  If you would like to join us, please go visit her first.

I have to tell you that Piper makes that skirt work. (I'm not being sarcastic, thank you very much!:} )
Did I tell you short leash? I seem to remember saying something like that!
