The Simple Woman's Daybook...

FOR TODAY

Outside my window...
The sun is shining and the children are eating apples and playing on the lawn. It is in the low 70*'s. Rock , Paper , Scissors shoot! and the dog is barking in the play....
I am thinking...
Wow I made mayonnaise today! That was so cool. It looked like it was going to curdle. I ran out to the hen house and grabbed two eggs out from under my broody hen. They were nice to room temperature and I decided to put the white in also and YE PEE it set! Woo Hoo! I do not have to go to the store!!!!!!!!
I am thankful for...
Happy jousting children who are healthy and having a grand time of it in the warm sunshine.
From the learning rooms...
(if this applies) Many gardening sessions for myself. Dash is self motivated and doing extra work for benefits at his class room at school. I have my Bible lesson to finish for tomorrow.
From the kitchen...
Beef roast has been in the crock pot all day, four loaves bread baked, 6 mixes prepped for the next batch of loaves. Mayo is jared and in the refer, egg shells are ground and given to the chickens for calcium. one and a half gallons of lemon aide was prepared from the juice and a simple sugar syrup made today. After grinding the winter wheat and bagging up the 25 pounds of bread flour the 6 bagged mixes for the future bread batches were set into the whole wheat berry drum for room temp keeping and two of the mixes deep froozen to be set out in the future when I make bread. Jasmine loose leaf tea was steeped and enjoyed as well. The breakfast cookies I made and baked over the weekend were put up into serving size baggies and froozen.
Dishes ................oh ya! The dishwasher will need to be emptied from this morning and reloaded as well as the hand dishes. It does not look like it snowed there any more (all the flour is cleaned up).
I am wearing...
Blue jeans. white ankle sox, cloud walker black leather shoes and a royal blue turtle neck. My hair is tied into bands and pulled up and back.
I am creating...
a blog post...haha, a birthday gift for a friend.
I am going...
to enjoy a rest.
I am reading...
Some beading books, gardening information on soil preperations.
I am hoping...
That if my Husband gets the new part time extra job that his health maintains and that we can do this thing with grace and little effect on the childrens stability. I hope that it is not an issue to being his day at 10:30 at his regular job and then have the mornings open to do the part time job. It would be wonderful to be able to keep up the savings to recover our losses in our retirement and emergency fund. We are so blessed, but to whom much is given much is required.
I am hearing...
fiction flowing from the very imaginitve daughter who is directing the play outside with her brother.
Around the house...
It smells of fresh baked bread! although the counters are clean the dirty dishes are high, baking pans and cookie sheets and lots of things like blender jar and food processor parts.
One of my favorite things...
The safety of the children hearing them home. Although it is my heart to home school out of obedience I have them in school. It is always such a good feeling to have them home, safe and sound.
A few plans for the rest of the week:
Bible study in the morning, a girls night out to celebrate an old friend and the EEG study on my brain on Wednesday morning. Time at home on Thursday and Friday is a delight for I desire to garden.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...When Dash was asked to tell me about this he said...
"this is a hotel for homeless people, mom...they can sleep here and get some food for free"
