Now for my daybook…. To participate in the meme is simple. All you do is answer the bolded questions with your own answers and then link yourself at the Simple Woman’s blog each week. You’re always welcome to check out the other ladies’ Daybooks who participated. This is a very sweet homekeeping meme that I’d encourage you to do as well.

For Today…January 7, 2009 at 10:06am

Outside my Window…a light snow is falling in a steady, brisk wind; the world looks covered in powdered sugar.  The squirrels are finding dropped seed around my bird feeders.  A chickadee keeps zooming in for a seed, and then zooming away again.

I am thinking…my brain is like a banana tree full of chattering monkeys!

From the learning rooms…we just read about the American Revolution.

I am thankful for…good health and a warm house.

From the kitchen…who knows?

I am wearing…blue genie pants (that the kitten keeps attacking because the ties hang down very low) and a sweatshirt.  I haven't gotten dressed yet.

I am reading…Firelord by Parke Godwin and The Edge of Evolution by Michael Behe.

I am hoping… that we get a new pastor soon.

I am creating…nothing.  I don't think I have anything in the works right now.  Weird.  And sad.

I am hearing... iTunes shuffle--Muse first, now Genesis, next who knows?

Around the house…the kitten is skitzing out; Meg is snoring.  Mama Meow is watching the kitten apprehensively.  The girls are at my Mom's.

One of my favorite things… talking to my friends on my LotR messageboards or on Facebook.

I am praying for... Craig's parents.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…praise band tonight, Pastor Search Committee meeting afterwards, tutoring tomorrow for Sarah, and then science for Katie on Friday.  Polaris is on Saturday.

I accomplished since last week…took down the Christmas decorations!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you:
