Simple Woman's Daybook for March 16
Kate

For Today... March 16, 2009

Outside my window... sunny, lots of birds making noise

I am thinking... about everything I have to do today, and I'm excited about it!

From the learning rooms... reading Charlotte's Web and the Phantom Tollbooth

I am thankful for... file folders.  Yes, it's true.  I love them.

From the kitchen... homemade pizza!

I am wearing... black yoga pants, a pink tank top, and my favorite sweatshirt.  (Not exactly high style.)

I am reading... Praise Her in the Gates.

I am hoping... that I can manage to grow a garden this year.

I am creating... a pretty knitted square with a heart in the middle.

I am hearing... the shower running upstairs, Chickpea turning book pages, and the birds outside.

Around the house... laundry to do, and the carpets need vacuuming.

One of my favorite things... a fun weekend together as a family!

A few plans for the rest of the week... lots going on!  Garden planning, getting some things organized, bloggy stuff, and helping DangerBear at the building.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you... Chickpea's stuffed animals: Mr. Bear, The Owl, and Mr. Friendship Bear.  =)

Simple Woman's Daybook for March 9
Kate

For Today... March 9, 2009

Outside my window... it's chilly and windy.  A nice change from the rain we've gotten over the last two days, though.

I am thinking... about ways to get more organized!

From the learning rooms... coming up with ideas to make sure Chickpea has plenty of playtime with other kids.

I am thankful for... my red dishpan.

From the kitchen... cinnamon muffins, pizza dough, and pepperoni bread.

I am wearing... my not-favorite jeans, and a 3/4-sleeve cable-knit sweater.

I am reading... a lot of books, and a whole lot of blogs!

I am hoping... that I can achieve my goals this month.

I am creating... a simple knitted square.  At least, I'm trying to create it!

I am hearing... Chickpea talking non-stop about doing taxes.  DangerBear gave her some blank IRS forms, and she's trying to fill them out and work out all the numbers.  Right now she's asking me where the tax tables are, as referenced in line six.  Um... no idea.

Around the house... keeping up with the laundry, and trying to get caught up with the ironing.

One of my favorite things... my laptop!

A few plans for the rest of the week... work at DangerBear's business, continue working on my goals, get going on garden research.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you... the gorgeous sheets my mom gave Chickpea for Christmas.  Oh, how I love Pottery Barn bedding!

For Today, February 9

Outside my window, it was raining until a few minutes ago.  Now it's sunny and windy.

I am thinking about how much I love wearing skirts.

I am thankful for my dishwasher.  It's one of my household servants.  =)

From the learning rooms, finding a better way to do my weekly planning.

From the kitchen, a sorry-looking batch of chocolate cupcakes that stuck to the pans, even though they were well-greased.

I am wearing a khaki skirt, a blue sweater, and brown flats.

I am creating a knitted swatch.

I am going to the library.  (Actually, I just got back.)

I am reading "The Five Love Languages of Children."

I am hoping that I can become a better manager of my time.

I am hearing the wind and cars driving by.

Around the house, I need to catch up on some laundry.

One of my favorite things is my laptop (with wireless Internet access!).

A few plans for the rest of the week: Finishing my recipes for the Festival of Breads and doing something a little special for Valentine's Day.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...


This is a picture I took of the Alps when we went to Germany in April, 2007.

FOR TODAY: Monday, August 11, 2008

Outside my window... are clear skies and rustling trees.  It's a gorgeous day!

I am thinking... that I need to get a new alarm clock, because mine occasionally decides to turn itself off.

I am thankful for... DangerBear's family.

From the kitchen... Lots of stuff!  Yesterday I made pumpkin bread, blueberry muffins, rye bread, white bread, and hamburger rolls.

I am wearing... jeans and a comfy shirt.

I am creating... plans for the day.I am going... on an adventure.

I am reading... To Live is Christ, by Beth Moore.  (I haven't started it yet, but I got it for my birthday.)

I am hoping... that I won't have to do any driving this week.  I hate driving.

I am hearing... a blow dryer coming from upstairs.  Oh no wait, that was the microwave in the kitchen.

Around the house... there are lots of computers.  Everyone brought their laptops.

One of my favorite things... my KitchenAid mixer.  I love using it to knead bread.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Exploring with DangerBear's family.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...
(This is a really good book!)

For Today, July 28, 2008...

Outside my window... are big, puffy, cotton ball clouds.  And birds that occasionally smack into the window.  =(

I am thinking...  about the toy tyrannosaurus rex my daughter has perched on top of my Bible.

I am thankful for... the new dishwasher that's being installed today!

From the kitchen... white bread and potato rosemary bread.

I am wearing... jeans and a pretty blue shirt with flowers.

I am creating... a blog.  I can't think of anything else I'm creating at the moment.

I am going... to the libary.  'Cuz having fun isn't hard when you have your library card.

I am reading... books about baking bread.

I am hoping... to win a ribbon at the state fair.

I am hearing... birds twittering outside.

Around the house... things are kind of messy.  I have to get the house ready for company!

One of my favorite things... DangerBear.  Okay, he's not a thing, but he's definitely my favorite.  =)

A few plans for the rest of the week... Um, cleaning, baking, more cleaning, generally going crazy.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...

I generally have a black thumb, but several years ago I decided to plant flowers on our balcony.  My husband (and I) thought for sure I'd kill them.  The first bloom opened up while DangerBear was away on business, so I took a photo to prove it was alive.
