The Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today, July 27, 2010...

Outside my window...the sun is blaring but my flowers are happy because I just finished watering them.

I am thinking...of all the sandals I got at Payless yesterday. Five pairs for $19 total. Just in time for vacation! I got $2 brown flip flops, $3 skinny strap sandals (3 pair in white, pink and teal) and $8 white braid flip flops that are pretty enough to wear with a skirt.

I am thankful...for God leading me to the perfect store with the perfect sale.

I am going...to take a shower when I finish this daybook entry. It's really hot outside!

I am wearing...a grey tank top, ratty old grey capris and no shoes. I just got in from doing yardwork, okay?

I am remembering...friends from my old job. Spoke to one of them yesterday. It's nice to hear from them every so often.

I am currently...sitting under the ceiling fan in my daughter's bedroom, trying to cool off.

I am reading...Ezekiel for morning devotions, and still reading Surviving a Spiritual Mismatch in Marriage.

I am waiting...patiently for the next two weeks to go by so we can go on vacation!!!

On my mind...my flowers. I hope my oldest son remembers to water them. It's so hot out everyday that I have to water them daily, sometimes twice a day so they don't dry out.

From the learning rooms...E is reading one hour per day on his own. That's about it.

I am pondering these words..."Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship." - Romans 12:1.

From the kitchen today...homemade lasagna. Soooo delicious!

Around the house...I think I have things under control. I would like to get everything done before we leave on vacation, but thankfully I should have enough time (famous last words).

One of my favorite things...playing board games with my family. We laugh and have such a good time.

A few plans for the rest of the week...E is still taking swim lessons; he advanced to level 2 which is a big accomplishment for a child who absolutely did NOT want to learn how to swim. I also would like to start a packing list of sorts, to make sure we don't forget anything on our trip. We're all so excited!

No picture thought this week; I may post pictures of my son swimming later on this week if I have a chance.
