The Simple Woman's Daybook

For  Today  Monday  November 10, 2008

Outside My Window.....it's very dark because this is the first time I have sat down today. It has been a wonderfully busy day.

I am thinking....that I should count my blessings. I have been given so much: warm house, loving children ( sometimes), loving husband (all the time), food, clothing and dear precious church family, my health....

I am thankful for... all the above and God's Word and some quiet, peaceful moments.

From the learning rooms....An additional computer has been added to our family so my children can all do their Switched on Schoolhouse. Btw only 4 children sharing only 5 subjects use SOS. I would rather do Unit Studies. My high schoolers do need Chemistry, Biology, Algebra, I suppose. 

From the kitchen.....I made 3 different soups today b/c our Pastor and his family came to visit: Cream of Broccoli, Tortilla Soup and Pizza Soup. Also 4 loaves of French Bread, Garlic Cheese Flatbread made by my daughter, Grace.

I am wearing...my housecoat to keep warm. It's freezing outside!

I am creating....nothing now but I need to find some craft project to do for Christmas.

I am going....to a Woman's Bible study tomorrow.

I am reading...Have A New Kid By Friday by Kevin Leman.

I am hoping...this book works.Teen attitudes need to change and mine too.

I am hearing...my loco dog barking. She is 13 plus years old and has lost a bit of her mind.

Around the house...pots and pans to be washed, laundry to be taken care of, my husband's football game on, BUT this is my time to reflect and think of the Goodness of God!

One of my favorite things...a Dicken's or Jane Austen movie.

A Few Plans For The Rest of the Week ...Bible study, hand surgeon for me and a dental appointment for my daughter.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing....

A year ago my daughter, Meredith, my mother and I were here drinking tea at  Cassandra's Tea Shop across the street from Jane Austen's house in ENGLAND!!!  It was lovely! One of the highlights of our trip.
