My Daybook

For Today...

October 20, 2008

Outside my Window...

A little overcast with the sun peaking through. Another cool & crisp fall day.

I am thinking...

Of the things I should be doing rather than the things I am doing.

From the learning rooms...

A bonus day. My middle son is sick but felt well enough to play this morning so we did a full day of school. We even managed to get in geography, music, & history along with the basics.

I am thankful for...

a loving God who continually gives me multiple second chances to get it right.

From the kitchen...

nothing yet but I have a busy week of baking planned. N's soccer team is hosting a round robin of games on Saturday & I volunteered to cook up a bunch of goodies to be sold to raise money for our rec department. It sure beats hanging out in the booth selling it all! ;-)

I am wearing...

my favorite socks knitted for my by my wonderful MIL, my comfy jeans, a favorite blue t-shirts.

I am reading...

too much. I'm working on The Stone of Tears (book two in the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind), I Second that Emotion by Patsy Clairmont, and I just got Winning by Losing by Jillian Michaels from The Biggest Loser.

I am hoping...

that I am wrong and N doesn't have strep throat but we'll find out this afternoon. I'm 99% sure he does.

I am creating...

I'm thinking of setting up an Etsy shop again so I've been thinking of what I could put in there.

I am hearing...

nothing but the dryer humming. I love this time of day (naptime!)

Around the house...

Hubby finished our storage shed yesterday afternoon so we need to get things moved out of here & in to there. I put my flower garden to bed for the winter yesterday as well. Now we need to start getting air conditioners out of the windows, plastic up, and this place winterized. Winter is fast approaching.

One of my favorite things...

my pumpkin candle I'm burning. I already went through one. This is my second one. Yum!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...

A relatively quiet week. Just the usual things...two Bible studies (one Tuesday night & one Wednesday night), MOPS, AWANA, and the soccer thing on Saturday morning. I've been working on re-evaluating my priorities and seeing what I'm involved with. I need to learn how to say "no" at times I think.

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

Miss H was snacking at the table this morning so I pulled out this foil muffin tin & dropped in some goldfish. She loved it & ate all but two. I showed her how to move them around. She liked that. We did use it with milk caps as well (save your milk caps - great toddler toys!) I took the idea for the muffin tin from Sycamore Stirrings who does a "Muffin Tin Monday." I love the idea & will be using it soon for lunch & for play time.
