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 9, 2009 2:09 p.m.

Outside my Window…All is quiet other than a slight breeze blowing the Rose of Sharon outside my window. 

I am thinking…I need to round up my scattered (figuratively speaking) kids and get back to school.

From the learning rooms…we had finished spelling and math this morning before lunch.

I am thankful for…good friends and a loving family.

From the kitchen…absolutely nothing.  We need to return to the kitchen and maybe read some history together.

I am wearing…an orange top, brown fleece jacket, blue jean skirt.

I am reading…Created to Be His Help Meet--Debi Pearl

I am hoping… we get more snow.  Yippee! 

I am creating…a few baby blankets.  We are expecting at least 3 new babies at church within 6 months or less.

I am hearing... the dog scratching at the garage door.  He slipped out to the garage when I was throwing something away and now he wants back in.

Around the house…Denny and Grace are playing in the basement, Hannah and Rebekah are upstairs--probably listening to books on tape or CD.

One of my favorite things… spending far too much time on Facebook.

I am praying for... my friend Kim who had to have their 14 y/o Rottweiler put down today.  The dog had cancer and would have lived on another 7 days at best.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week….school this afternoon.  "Game night" with the kids tonight.  Watching Beethoven's Big Break with the kids on Saturday night.

I accomplished since last week…not a lot other than packing away Christmas decorations and a trip to Creation Museum.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you:

I don't know where the picture came from.  Paul had it on our computer somewhere.

It was fun to read your daybook! I really liked the picture thought, not sure why, but it just struck me as peaceful and marvelous.

Yes, that picture is pretty!

It's hard to think of things to write about sometimes, so I really like these memes to at least get me posting.

If you've not checked out the latest issue of TOS, it's really good. Loa let me borrow hers, and it has all kinds of articles on hs'ing high school. That is what my brain has been chewing on lately. I'm gearing up!

Now don't desert me now! I can't do this high school thing without friends also doing high school! Okay? <desperate plea>

Oh, also of note, the latest issue of TOS has a picture of the schoolhouse from Carillon Park. I was like, "I know that place!"

Oh, and I love your avatar. <snerk>

I just get too busy (?) and don't get to the fun things in life. :) I'm glad you enjoyed the simple entry. :)

I will homeschool through high school! I hear too many folks send their kids to school during the high school years and then live to regret it. I'm trying to live life without regrets! Plus, it will be fun to knock out some subjects and then have the kids CLEP for credit. It'll really feel like we are making headway.

I don't think we get TOS anymore. Will have to ask Paul. The articles sound awesome! I'll have to check it out.

Blessings,
Carolyn

P.S. I know, I really don't like my avatar. I need to spend some time figuring out how to change it. Just haven't gone there yet.
