The Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today... Monday, August 3, 2009

Outside My Window...It is HOT, The yard is calling for the morning next to come that I might continue to nurture it.

I am thinking... I will miss that little race car, battle guy and buzz of the sweet little boy who never stops.

From the learning rooms…The seven habits of effective people, Life Plan Study, Affiliation study for the kids. Some Family way time with the children. Flash card review daily.

I am thankful ... The possibility of travel! Stunned !!!We have been offered the chance to go to DC and stay in a guest apartment in my nieces complex. Take the kids to the museums for free! Visit the battle grounds and such. We have just been given a lot of overtime. We have also received a part time employ that will be done at home.
We are prayerfully considering doing such a thing. We do not want to be over zealous and jump the gun on our goals. What I think I am most thankful about is is that my husbands eyes are bright with anticipation for this is something he so desired to do.
With Dove in the 5th grade it would be perfect timing this fall to do so, We would really have to keep up the diligence and hard work to afford to do it and yet keep to goal.

From the kitchen...Clean counters and a box of pears. Bread to make later today. Salad to be had for lunch. Very few dishes to do. My husband caught us up and so I can relax a bit.

I am wearing...A summer gauze dress it is black and earth tones of browns and vague blues it is very cool and comfortable

I am reading... The book Eldala by my dear friend Michelle Gregory

I am hoping...To equip Dove for her school year . There are so many dysfunctional little girls who have already begun to call and stage themselves in a pecking order that clearly shows how un affiliated they are, even in their own homes. It is a real stressful thing for my dear daughter.

I am creating... My fall/winter garden making the earth and tending it to be planted within two weeks.

I am hearing...Shirley Temple's Good ship lollipop Dove is watching in the other room and the hum of my son as he is playing throughout the house with his cars and guys.

I am going... To mail two letters...need to go to the bank and to the pediatric dentist to get Dash's permanent teeth sealed and a full panorama x ray of his mouth to watch for the process and see when the timing for braces will occur. We had good news NO PERMANENT Teeth will have to be removed. YA!

Around the house... Laundry to hang. Floors to sweep and a study center in the living room to create this week. A place where the kids will do homework and art.

One of my favorite things... Gecko's climbing on the walls. When gardening this morning I must of disturbed a family of them. At least 10 of them and plane lizard too.
I love seeing them flourish in the garden. They were FAT too. Wow did I make their day stirring up all that compost.

A Few Plans for the Rest of the Week: Lots of time with the kids, Meals and bake goods. Setting to task a LIFE PLAN...covering all of my different roles. Sewing some pants for Dash and cloths for me.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing…

My gazebo entry is so nice.
I am so looking forward to the nasturtiums growing on the gazebo and fence.

Time to walk away 3 hour work out this morning!
See Bee Bliss Gardens For the Details.
(later today I want to go play with my son)
