THE SIMPLE WOMAN'S DAYBOOK

The Simple Woman's Daybook for December 9th....

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW: Pitch dark, security light shining down on the snow and ice!

FROM THE LEARNING ROOM: Horizons Math workbook, Prince and the Pauper, kleenex box and notebook. Rite-Aid sale flyer. (Our learning room is the kitchen table, kitchen counters and couch).

I AM THANKFUL FOR: I had another melanoma scare, went to the doctors...all is fine. I'm also thankful for these wool socks I have on, good friends, a happy child, instant coffee and the free hot chocolate coupons at McDonalds that were in the Sunday paper.

FROM THE KITCHEN: A half eaten gingerbread cookie, red gloves laying on the counter and a vanilla candle.

I AM WEARING: (remember it's just 6:30 am as I type this)... black wool socks, two thermal underwear shirts-layered, polar fleece sweatshirt, reindeer thermal longjohns, bed head, no makeup. I AM A REAL WORK OF ART.

I AM READING: The Virgin Blue and will start on Victoria Olsteen's book, very soon.

I AM HOPING: We get a lot of good, meaty homeschooling done today! And, the lady I'm selling a book to off of Craigslist shows up tonight, before a tea I am attending.

I AM CREATING: Tons of those recycled characters in the previous post! I just love them and really, really enjoy making them!

I AM HEARING: My fingers clicking away on the keyboard, the frightening hum of this laptop and the clock tick-tocking.

AROUND THE HOUSE: A few craft supplies from Joann Fabrics, my winter coat hanging on the back of the kitchen chair and it's pretty dark still..so I can't see much more.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS: Getting comments on this blog...so, c'mon... say hello and let me know you're here and link me to your blog, if you blog.

A FEW PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK: A tea at a local church with friends, honkering down with homeschooling, grocery shopping, maybe a homeschool Christmas swimming party...it depends how social I am feeling, a friend of Tommie's on Thursday afternoon, scouts and I think that's it.

HERE'S A PICTURE THOUGHT I'M SHARING: This is what I have on my desktop for a background... what's on your background? Now, don't be shy...leave a comment! smile-wink-nod.
