Taking Time to Smell My Childrens Flowers

• Aug. 3, 2009 - The Simple Woman's Daybook



For Today, Monday,  August 3rd, 2009


Outside My Window
...   Sunny Skies.  Today is supposed to be a little warmer then usual.  The sunflowers are blooming and the garden is green. 


I'm thinking...I hope we have a wonderful day in school today. I miss our foreign exchange student from Germany. 


From the learning rooms...
Daughter is loving her Bob Jones DVD program.  My son is somewhat happy with his My Father's World program.  He is one of those kids whose hard to please,  glass half empty kind of kid.  Hopefully things get better this year for him. 

I am thankful for... A healthy pregnancy and healthy children.

From the kitchen...

M - Posole and red chili
T - Spaghetti and meatballs
W - grilled zucchini and chicken 
TH -  fried chicken and potato salad
F -  Left overs


I am wearing...   Purple shirt, jean shorts and barefoot


I am studying... 
I'm in a Women Mentoring Women class.  It's every Monday night. 

I am hoping...  to get my daughters home economics curriculum soon.  I'm waiting for both that and my son's art curriculum to come in the mail.

I am creating...
A more calmer atmosphere.  With the Lord's help I will be much more pleasant to be around this year.


I am hearing... Computer hum, and washing machine going

Around the house and garden...  More zucchini, 1 tomato, 3 chiles 2 onions, and 2 yellow squash were picked from the garden last night (my neighbors are sooo tired of zucchini!)
   


One of my favorite things... 
Studying God's word.

   
A few plans for the rest of the week... 
Take my dad to the doctor, go to an American Heritage Girls meeting, go to my own doctors appointment and do our first full week of school.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...
I have been having a lot of trouble getting my pictures to stay visible on this blog.  I'm hoping it will be okay this time.

Hello Dear, Thanks for visiting. I hope you are feeling well today and school is going smoothly. It certainly looks like you are having a good zucchini crop this year. It's just one of those things that it's hard to find enough things to do with it all. I have a couple in the fridge right now from my SIL. Ahhh, so your daughter is going to do the same Home Ec. as ours are doing. That is great! Amber is almost done with book five and is starting the sewing section - making a doll-size log-cabin quilt first. Anna was so excited to start this year that she did a few pages even this summer. Just to let you know, I'm finding the Teacher's Keys to be hard to navigate, but otherwise it's a great curriculum. And we have the God & the History of Art book too. A great study, if only I'd not shove art on the back burner every week and it never gets done - my falt. Are you good at art?

Wishing you a good week this week!
