Simple Woman's Daybook

For September 29, 2008...

Outside my Window...it is a cloudy day, but some sun is starting to break through.

I am thinking...how very happy it makes me that Will and Katie get excited over a pile of library books.

From the learning rooms...we're really kicking into high gear. I feel like I finally have my feet under me on what needs to happen and when.

I am thankful for...a husband who folds laundry while he watches football.

From the kitchen...we're having flank steak for dinner with salad and baked potatoes. I desperately need to go through the freezer and put together a thorough grocery list before we go to the commissary on Wednesday.

I am wearing...black shorts and a red and white t-shirt.

I am reading... I am still trying to get into The Shack which is supposed to be mind-blowingly wonderful. I'm just not feeling it yet.

I am hoping...Katie will continue to sleep well this week.

I am creating...holiday cards for Operation Quiet Comfort.

I am hearing...Will and Katie turning the pages of books. That's bliss for me.

Around the house...I'll call it a very productive day if when I finish a post-weekend pickup, a load of laundry and an inventory of what's still in the freezer.

One of my favorite things...is getting a letter from a friend in the mail.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...It's actually a quiet week in the Button Factory. We only have our typical swimming lessons, ballet lessons, Tae Kwon Do, creative writing workshop and church activities. I had toyed with the idea of going to a pumpkin patch, but I think I'll put that off a week or two.

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

This is me and my sister-in-law Mama Nirvana on our way to lunch at Gerry Frank's Konditorei.
Picture it: two moms, alone (except for 4-month-old Sam, who is the most easy-going baby I've ever seen. Ever.), eating quiche and cake, and talking and laughing. Heaven, heaven, heaven.
