My Daybook

FOR TODAY (November 10, 2008)...

Outside my window...

an overcast and dreary fall day. It was even raining (again) this morning for a brief time. The sun is valiantly trying to peak through the clouds. There is even talk of (shhh!) snow in the forecast for Wednesday.

I am thinking...

I need to become more proactive in my life in many areas. I need to dive in to the Bible more rather than less. I need to rely on my Lord more to get me through the day.

I am thankful for...
so many things. I've been chronicling them this month. I'll add my special post for today later on.

From the learning rooms...
not a thing. I gave my children this week off. My hubby is at hunting camp for 10 days so I'm taking advantage of that & working on some mommy driven projects this week. The kids are enjoying the freedom to play. I may sneak in some learning later in the week.

From the kitchen...
nothing. ;-) I just started a new diet today & I'm cutting out white products & starches. So far so good. Want to see what I ate for lunch today?

a mixture of lettuce, sugar snap peas (oh my - yummy!) and some baked chicken shredded on top. And it was actually very yummy!

I am wearing...
the "comfy" outfit...winter crocs with regular socks, jeans, old t-shirt, and a fleece top. Nice & warm and toasty.

I am creating...
scrapbooking kits for Saturday's get together with Beth & Tammy.

I am going...
to a homeschool meeting & I have to leave in 15 minutes. Yikes!

I am reading...
some magazines and still working on The Sword of Truth series. Now on to book #3.

I am hoping...
my hubby brings home a deer from hunting camp. The meat would be welcomed.

I am hearing...
the dryer tumbling a load of clothes around, my two younger boys playing (loudly) in their room...I need to remind them what "quiet time/naptime" really entails I think.

Around the house...
getting ready for winter & the holiday season. I need to put plastic up on the windows & make sure everything outside is put away before we get (shhh!) snow. We had our first lasting snow on 11/20 last year. ::sigh:: Let's hope that global warming thing kicks in & it holds off until Christmas this year. ;-)

One of my favorite things...
"hanging out" on the computer & meeting people, reading blogs, and now...thanks to Deb & my brother, Facebook. LOL

A few plans for the rest of the week:
the homeschool meeting today, a doctor's appointment to the big city tomorrow, Bible study on Wednesday & AWANA on Thursday. I'm hoping the week flies by. No MOPS this week as my hubby has our truck at camp & our teeny-tiny car only fits five - if I squish them in real tight.


Here is picture thought I am sharing...
