The Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today, March 15, 2011...

Outside my window...the bright sunlight is blinding, but the cool breeze is refreshing.

I am thinking...of my niece who turns 16 today. I remember when she was a tiny baby. My, how time flies!

I am thankful...my daughter got back to school safely yesterday.

I am going...to do alot of laundry today.

I am wearing...a pink Nike t-shirt, jean capris and flip-flops.

I am noticing...how much our grass and plants are drying up. We've had very little rain and the ground is suffering.

I am hearing...my youngest son in the kitchen. It's spring break this week.

I am currently...caught up with most of my house cleaning.

I am reading...my bible, and I just finished Daughter of Joy. I can get free books on my Nook from ChristianBooks.com and Barnes and Noble. I love it!

I am pondering these words..."In Christ we're rich beyond belief, With wealth the world cannot see."

From the kitchen...pot roast, which is already simmering in the crock pot.

From the learning rooms...E got a spring break packet to work on this week. We're doing a little each day, and reading Danny the Champion of the World.

Around the house...laundry, and floor sweeping.

One of my favorite things...spring break.

Meet Me On Mondays

Welcome to another Monday! To help the day go smoother I'll focus on answering a few questions about myself. Why not try it yourself?

1. Do you have a fireplace in your home?
No. Fireplaces are wasted space in places like South Florida. While I've seen chimneys in some homes, they're few and far between. After all, how often would they get fired up? Once a year?

2. Can you drive a stick shift?
Yes, though I haven't done it in a long time. I don't like driving stick. Florida is flat and there's too much traffic for stick shift to make sense.

3. How many computers are in your home?
Two, unless my daughter is home from school. Then there's three.

4. Are your taxes done yet? Do you do them yourself?
My taxes are done Praise the Lord! Yes, I do them myself using TaxCut. I've even got my tax refund already.

5. What is your favorite meal of the day?
It's a toss-up between breakfast and lunch. I guess brunch would be a real favorite. More to choose from!

Move It Mondays

Good Monday morning to all! I'm feeling a bit down today, because my daughter has left for school after being home for 10 days. It's so hard to say goodbye! But God in His mercy has left me with my youngest son who's on spring break this week. It's nice to have him here. I'm not so lonely that way.

Today I have most everything caught up. My plans include

*Making chicken parmegiana with spaghetti (yum!)
*Cleaning up the backyard
*Reading with my son
*Doing homework with E (he got a small homework packet for spring break. Mean teacher!)

Most of all I just want to spend time with my little boy and enjoy the fact that he's home. He's growing up so fast; I need to take advantage of every minute!

Happy Pi Day to everyone (3.14 = March 14)! Have a blessed Monday and a wonderful week.

Move It Mondays is hosted by Kristilea at In The Lord's Path.

Five Question Friday

It's a great Friday, because it's the beginning of my youngest son's spring break! Yay! Time to celebrate, but before we do, how about some questions about me? ;-)

1. Do you know what your REAL hair color is?

Why yes, it's black and white. The reason I color it is because I don't like the white :P

2. Do you plan ahead for summer, or fly by the seat of your pants?

I never make plans because my husband changes his mind more than he changes his socks (and he changes those at least twice a day). We still manage to have fun, though.

3. What is your favorite meal to cook?

I love making anything my family likes to eat, and one of our favorites is lasagna with italian bread and salad. Soooo good!

4. Do you get offended by not receiving thank yous?

Not so much offended as hurt. I try to always remember to say thank you because I wouldn't want someone else's feelings hurt.

5. How did you meet your best friend?

Well, my best girl friend I met when I was 4 1/2 years old and my mother brought her home from the hospital ;-). My best guy friend I'm married to; I met him at a dance.

What about you? Hop on over to My Little Life and answer some Friday questions too! Have a blessed weekend.

Words of Worship

Our Lord is worthy all our days

Of all our love and highest praise;

He died to take our sin and shame -

Oh, bless the Savior's holy name!

- Egner

Words of Wisdom

All God's testings have a purpose -

Someday you will see the light;

All He asks is that you trust Him,

Walk by faith and not by sight.

- Zoller

The Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today, March 8, 2011...

Outside my window...the sun is fighting to stream in through the blinds. It's another beautiful day!

I am thinking...of my hubby who's working in Central Florida. He's bored with no one there to accompany him.

I am thankful for...the miracles God has done in my friend Ann's life. Prayer is a remarkable thing, and when we see the answers to our prayers it's awe-inspiring.

I am going...to try and figure out this new printer my hubby bought a few months ago.

I am wearing...a pale green top, jean bermudas and white flip-flops.

I am noticing...that I'm running out of vitamins. Need to buy a new bottle.

I am hearing...my oldest son snore. Really loud.

I am currently...doing my spring cleaning, mostly in my bedroom and closet.

I am reading...A Very Special Delivery. It's a Christian novel I got for free from Barnes and Noble on my Nook. I love reading, and free books are the best!

I am pondering these words..."What may seem insignificant,
Mundane, routine or small,
Is often used by God to show
His power over all." - Sper

From the kitchen...baked mac and cheese, and I think I'll bake up some cupcakes too.

From the learning rooms...E has a book report to do on Roald Dahl's Danny The Champion of the World. This is the same author who wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We're reading it together.

Around the house...a couple of loads of laundry are in order.

One of my favorite things...beautiful days like today.
