The Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today November 23, 2009

Outside my Window....the sun has begun it's morning journey. The grounds are wet from all the blessing of rain.

I am thinking.....all the things I need to do in the next few days. Trying not to stress over them. I am trying to have mental schedule.

I am thankful....a couple of days with out the children, I miss them when they are gone. I was over due for regroup and refresh.

I am wearing....nightgown soon I will be dressed to begin the day.

I am remembering....to be understanding, this is a short fall of mine.

I am going....for once not orchestra....I do however need to go finish the grocery shopping for Thanksgiving dinner.

I am reading....this should really say crafting...seems all I get to lately. Since Christmas is around the corner.

I am hoping.....thanksgiving dinner comes together nicely.

On my mind.....my oldest son and his father's bond is growing. I love seeing their relationship grow but I am feeling so left out.

From the learning rooms.....we are taking a break for the next few days. Then when we do the kids found some hands on Egyptian books. So we will be crafting and learning when we resume.

Noticing that......I want to get away, the kids are still talking about the New York trip 2 years ago. They would love to go again.

Pondering these words...."Doesn't matter where we live as long as we are together as a family"...my husband.

From the kitchen....the next few days easy quick items since I will be so busy with the thanksgiving feast.
Tonight hot dogs
Tuesday Cincinnati chili
Wednesday sandwiches and soup
Thursday THANKSGIVING
Friday left overs

Around the house....serving platters are out. Cleaning and cooking just lots of preparations happening.

One of my favorite things....watching everyone come and relax and just enjoy themselves all day.

From my picture journal.....this week a flock of thousands of bird circled my house daily. This picture is only a part of them.

Thanksgiving Blessing to everyone.......
