Home Sweet Simple Home

Simple Daybook #5

FOR TODAY~ July 28^th   

Outside my Window... I see quite a few weeds in my garden. I can also see the new doorframe on the garage that Mr. Steady has been “steadily” working on.

I am thinking... that I have a lot to do to get ready for the camping trip.

I am thankful for... prayer support.

From the kitchen... Yogurt or cereal for breakfast, lunch at my brother’s home (birthday party leftovers) and One Pot Salsa Beef Skillet, fresh sweet corn (from Mr. Steady’s parents) and flax seed bread for supper.

I am creating... packing and To Do lists.

I am going... to run errands, visit family, finish laundry, pack bags, bake bread and clean the house.

I am wearing... clothes.

I am reading... Life: Beautiful Magazine.

I am hoping... to get everything done on my lists and still have a bit of free time.

I am hearing... the sprinkler going at the neighbors, the whirring of a fan and the swishing of the washer.

Around the house... we are busy, busy, busy. There are VBS banners on the dining table waiting for my creative flare to finish them, bread in the bread machine on the kitchen table, plus a pile of cloth napkins waiting for the girls to fold. A stack of books on the coffee table. A horrid mess on my desk. Clean laundry nicely folded and awaiting its proper places on the laundry table. Backpacks hooked on the backs of dining chairs ready to be packed.

One of my favorite things... quiet.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week... Camping. Mr. Steady and I are taking part of my youth group [tent] camping (plus kayaking and tubing) while the children visit with friends. We’ve got a softball game on Tuesday and a tournament on Saturday to boot. I can easily say that I am busier than I wish to be.
