The Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today...

Outside my window... The sun is bright, the grass is tall and lanky in need of a mowing. The chickens sit quietly in the shade.

I am thinking... How encouraged I am with Dove. She went thought her flash cards so well! Only the 9's and the 12's were an issue after all this time!

From the learning rooms...
Esteem Builders on Affiliation this morning shook out that Dash felt terribly betrayed by Dove letting out a secrete that hurt him when other kids found out. I have to handle that one delicately.

I am thankful for... Effort that yield results and forgiving children. Prayers of the many who are backing me up as I walk on in pursuit of all that is called of me.

From the kitchen... Reheated pasta for lunch and a menu to prepare.

I am wearing... :) I am still in my maroon night gown it is noon.

I am reading...Eldala by Michele Gregory, gardeners encyclopedia and a post about setting a life plan.

I am hoping... To relax and accomplish peacefully

I am creating... A blouse for myself that has been untouched on the sewing machine for over a week.

I am praying...To keep Him as my center

Around the house...I let the dogs in and the floors really show it! The kids are playing and Many tasks call me.

One of my favorite things... navel orange eaten in the tree...with birds joining me on the branches.

A few plans for the rest of the week... gaining school supplies, looking through what we have to make due and not need to purchase as much. Doing daily flash card. Esteem builders for the kids. Spending a lot of time equipping them emotionally for school. Going to the bank and the post. Working more on the earth out in the garden to get ready. Perhaps a little rest. Setting down on paper some goals and objectives to better get a center of purpose.

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

Asking questions of the kids is really helpful to get inside who they are.
I might like to type all these out and make a game of flash cards.
It would even be cool for adult friends.
