My Simple Daybook: Wednesday, September 17th

Graciously hosted by Peggy at The Simple Woman

Since I didn't get a chance to do this on Monday, I'm adding it now. 

Outside my Window .  .  .  .  the sun is out, shining bright yellow on the last of my basil and chard, and on husband's overgrown tomatoes

I am thinking .  .  .  .    about what a wonderful job the children have all been doing in their schoolwork last week and this week.  And thinking about calling Mrs. D and seeing if older son can go to her house after Biology class to do homework with her son

I am thankful for .  .  .  .   my home, my children, the noise they make, even the mess they make -- I know all too soon it will be just husband and I

From the kitchen .  .  .  .   all is quiet right now.  I made Millet Muffins for breakfast, including some in my heart shaped pan - one for each of them!  Soon, older son will do the breakfast dishes and it will be time for lunch

From the learning room .  .  .  .  older son is finishing his Biology homework, including making his own Biological Key for Kingdom Monera (that's bacteria), youngest son is doing his history reading, The Kite Fighters, and daughter is practicing piano

I am wearing .  .  .  .   red top with white shirt underneath, a floral skirt, and my sandals

I am creating .  .  .  .   a plan for daughter and I to spend time together reading, learning, cooking, working, and stitching.  Yesterday we read the first chapter of Beautiful Girlhood and then part of some information about caring for loong hair

I am going .  .  .  .   to keep working on laundry, then we'll do our Bible and History reading together before lunch

I am reading .  .  .  .   my Bible and Ivanhoe (pre-reading for son's soon to start Medieval History)

I am hoping .  .  .  .   that husband gets his Rx soon so that he will be feeling better

I am listening to .  .  .  .   older son practice the piano

Around the house .  .  .  .  all is cool and bright.  I need to vacuum before we leave the house today, and make sure I get something out for dinner tonight.  A real bonus would be if I could get the kitchen table cleaned off!

One of my favorite things .  .  .  .  hearing my children say they are all finished with their work,  hearing the same song being practiced for the thousandth time (or does it just seem that way? ;-)

A few plans for the rest of the week .  .  .  .   keep up with our Korea reading and finish by Friday, remember to keep my expectations on the LORD - my help cometh from the LORD which made heaven and earth - and not on my family members, and to remember the qualities of being meek and quiet
