My Hearts Daybook for the Week of October 26

Outside My Window ...

Dark and rainy-- It is to rain all day-- but that is okay with me. (Except I bet when all this rain is over most of our trees will be bare...and they are so beautiful right now).

***

I am listening to...

Silence-- Ahhhh silence...

***

To Fit and Happy...

We are REALLY trying to get serious about shedding a FEW pounds. All of us can afford to shed some pounds. I am trying to watch the carbs (not too strict though... a lot of our whole food recipes for fall/winter have rice/beans/barley in them). Portion control is being heavily examined and sweets.... This will be a process-- but it NEEDS to happen. Next step finding some form of EXERCISE for each of us.... (more on that later)

***

I am thankful for...

Our family-- I am so amazed at what a sweet time we have had this last month. We have ALL enjoyed this "babymoon" VERY MUCH. (maybe most of all).

***

From the Kitchen

Today is "kitchen day". Not sure what that is going to look like-- hoping to have 2 "kitchen days" per week to get some high maintenance stuff out of the way; like bread baking (not needed this week), granola bars, other baking items, rice / bean making/soaking, things like that....

Found these 2 links that helped me "form" my Kitchen Day-

1st for Cleaning

2nd for training

(you have to scroll down on these links to find the "entry")

***

I am wearing ...

Still in PJ's-- I'll head up to get dressed within the hour... right now everyone is sleeping- and I don't want to wake them. (no early morning showers for me -- it wakes everyone-- I must shower at night)

In My CD Player

Christine Getty---Livingroom

Michael W Smith- in the Suburban

***

Towards a real education ...

We are doing pretty well getting the 3 R's in. This week we MUST dive into our Weaver lessons-- they will so fit in with Thanksgiving... and I have the lessons made-- just need to APPLY them.

We have enjoyed a lot of read aloud time this past week-- as I can now finally nurse and read at the same time. (Mostly thanks to an AWESOME nursing cover I bought from a fellow MOMY's).

***

I am thinking...

About our week-- I have broken out a schedule again-- it was nice for a month to just 'enjoy' life-- but we need a BIT more structure-- but I don't want to lose that "enjoyment " either.

***

Around the Hobby Farm

Meat chickens are in the FREEZER. Butcherin went very well-- the guys enjoyed themselves very much, and doing it with our church family was a VERY nice time of fellowship too. (I think they did near 200 chickens that day)

***

I am reading ...

Farmer Boy (our current Read Aloud)

***

I am praying ...

For our Pastor and my brother both who have the Flu.

***

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:

Wednesday- Traveling "home" we were able to purchase 75lbs of grass fed beef and it is ready for pick up on Wednesday.

Saturday- Our church is having a Reformation Day Celebration. It is outside with cider making, a campfire and a celtic musician. Depending on the temp. we are hoping to attend.
