I always read these from mominpa's blog.  I thought I'd give it a try.

The Simple Woman's Day Book

FOR TODAY...

Outside my window... There are snow flurries with temperatures of 32 degrees.  Brrrrrrrr.....

I am thinking... This is going to be a good week for soups! 

I am thankful for...  my family and friends.  I'm also thankful that I'm feeling more like myself than I have in over 2 years!  I'm feeling a sense of relief.... for whatever reason that may be.  God will show me in time.  I'm Thankful that I have a God who loves and cares for me.... just the way I am!

From the learning rooms... dd8 will be moving onto the next book in MUS (Beta) this week!  Yay!!!  We will also be moving onto Plum Creek in our Prairie Primer studies.  The older two are still plugging away with their normal studies... nothing too much to note. 

From the kitchen... I'm smelling the aroma's of cinnamon pop tarts.  But later for supper we will enjoy steak salads & homemade bread.

I am wearing... my jammies.

I am creating... things I can't talk about.  ;o)  Don't ya know that Christmas is around the corner?

I am going... to go and get ready for the school day after I finish this entry. 

I am reading...  "The Shack" by Wm Paul Young.  I just started this book this morning.  My brother first read it and recommended it, then my mother read it and lent it to me to read.  My friends were talking about it this weekend & wanted my input.... so, we'll see.  I'm curious to see what's all the fuss been!  Seems as though some like it and some don't.  I'll keep ya posted.

I am hoping... to get a full week of school work done this week!  Seems as though the past several weeks we have only had 3 and 4 days in a week! 

I am hearing... the humming sounds of my youngest daughter as she enjoys her breakfast.  Also the sounds of my youngest daughter and her brother playing a game as they eat. 

Around the house... There is a sense of peace and quietness. 

One of my favorite things... is when my kids are all getting along and I can sit back and watch them enjoy each other's company.

A few plans for the rest of the week: WE have a full week this week!  Wed- Missionette's and Royal Rangers, Thurs -Women's Ministry, Fri- Homeschool Group, Fri- Youth Group, Sat- Decorate an outside tree at Church & Chili dinner, Sun- Installation Service for the new pastor & Spaghetti Dinner

Here is picture thought I am sharing...  It'll look like this again soon.  (this was taken 10-29-08)
