I have so enjoyed the Simple Woman’s Daybook so am creating my own this week. It is perfect for those of us who are over-fond of bullet style presentations lol!

FOR TODAY

Outside my Window… bright sun and clear skies, Lark Buntings who have visited frequently of late.

I am thinking… how happy I am that scouts is on summer break!

I am thankful for… what promises to be a peaceful day – for a Monday.

From the kitchen… leftover chocolate cake. (I am pg – that’s my story and I am sticking to it!) Do I get points if it is made with barley flour and is without frosting?

I am creating... a baby.

I am going... to make a menu, a shopping list, and run errands. (all you ‘bad guys’ out there, know that this house is never EVER empty. That is why I have to leave periodically lol! There are always adults here and large neighbor men in overalls with a good aim….)

I am wearing… black swing skirt which I bought too big last year. Guess what? It fits now. Yellow sweater set. Black sandals.

I am reading... Mitten Strings for God. Getting plenty of affirmation for our slow lane approach to life.

I am hoping… for time to sit with my husband some evening this week.

I am hearing… Aidan singing and Brendan sneaking into the pantry. He SO thinks I didn’t notice.

Around the house… there is a box of new books from the library book sale. A mess in the sunroom from a half finished chore on Sat. Compost in the front beds that needs to be tilled.

One of my favorite things… is our jacuzzi tub. I snuck upstairs and filled it Sat night. I am making a habit out of it even if I am pg and have to make the water less than scalding.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week... finish reworking the school room. That may roll into next week since we moved the rest of the fabric in there. Some of the kids are racing Fri nite. The lamp by the road needs to be put back on the post since the storm. Literally snapped in two.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you… Real friends slip dark chocolate bars into your purse at church. Thank you Cheryle!
