A Simple Home

I awoke only to find a dismal, gray morning, which soon broke into rain. It had its desired effect, calming and lulling me. I didn't succomb, however, and started in on my Bible study and prayer time. Afterwards I emptied the dishwasher, made my ta do list, had some breakfast, printed out a world map for our "doorschooling", and some phonegram pages from the Jan_Brett website.
Next will be school and some baking. Emily has ballet tonight, so we will have to leave the house afterall.

Later in the evening:
It ended up raining nearly all day. I got more done on my list than usual, felt a bit more calm -- but I spent more time on the web than I wanted to. I have to keep telling myself that this is a process. It will take time.
I made two new recipes today. I used some biscuit dough we had sitting in the fridge, not planned for anything, and I squished them into a larger circle using the heel of my hand. I then put in some cheddar cheese and ham, rolled them up and baked them. Emme loved them. There are several left for dh too.
Tonight I made more chocolate chip cookies -- and then I made a batch of peanut butter. I had a few leftover peanuts that I put in them. I didn't have a recipe, so I just guestimated everything. They turned out pretty yummy.
And due to the stuffed cabbages my mother sent home for us last night -- I got out of cooking one of our pre-frozen meals tonight! So I will save it towards next month's meals.
Oh, I made and tried those chicken packets (a few posts back) and they were only OK. Thumbs down from Emme. I thought they were pretty good, but not good enough to make again. Ah well.
I got some cookbooks in the mail today and a free mini mixer. I also got "Alice in Wonderland" on c.d., a wedding invitation, a letter from Em's penpal in Texas, and a history homeschooling book.
I'm going to try and get to bed before midnight tonight, if you can imagine that!
Until tomorrow,
Sherry
