Simple Woman's Daybook



FOR TODAY, Tuesday, September 9, 2008


Outside My Window...The grass is REALLY green from a pouring shower earlier today. I love the brightness of the lawn when the sun comes out to chase away the clouds.

I am thinking...how fun it is to teach math. Problem solving revs my engine!

I am thankful for...my cozy home on rainy mornings and the breezy outdoors on sunny afternoons.

From the kitchen...Landen and Ash are tackling "Cheesy BBQ Quesadillas" for supper. They begged me for the chance. It's best I not supervise. They'll be sure to clean up the mess, and as far as germ-free cooking, this is one case where "what I don't know will [hopefully] not hurt me".

I am wearing... blue shorts, fish camp shirt, ponytail, barefoot, glasses. (wow, that's copied from last daybook....I should really kick the wardrobe up a notch or two, huh?)

I am creating... a color pallet for the hall bathroom. I'm being a big, fat copycat of shmeg. The orange paint stripper will come out this week. (that's a scented liquid solvent, not a colorful dancer of ill repute)

I am going...to include this simple woman link before I forget.

I am reading...the Bible (and a couple other resources) as much as possible trying to finish up the studies for November.

I am hoping...that my liver biopsy yields some helpful results. My specialist is apparently not a believer, so I am trusting the Lord to work through him for my healing as I pray for his HEALING.

I am hearing...children chattering and the a/c running. I'm thankful it's not the other way around :)

Around the house... School work is everywhere, one load of laundry left to deliver, and the floors desperately need attention, but the household is happy.

One of my favorite things...is being read to by my husband. After the biopsy yesterday, I had to lay on my right side for two hours. He came up to my room on his lunch break and read a chapter of "The Rest of God" by Mark Buchanan aloud to me. Curled up on my side, I was gently lulled to sleep by the sweet, low rhythm of my darling's voice.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Adult Choir, prep work in the bathroom, lessons for the children, and hopefully a visit from Josh, Kathy, Johnathan, and Oscar.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

JW and the gang at the Circus...Mari's not too sure about the Shriner Clown.
