Daybook entry #8

The Simple Woman’s Daybook

FOR TODAY~ August 11^th   

Outside my Window... I see sun-dappled shade, birds balancing on the flowering apple mint in the garden. Dragonflies and butterflies are enjoying it too. It’s very cool out this morning. We all seem to be moving a bit slower.

I am thinking... that summer is almost over and I need to put the final spit and polish on the school schedules.

I am thankful for... the Lord’s provisions. He has always made a way for us. We have not had a need that He has not met. I need to remember that!

From the kitchen... Homemade honey oatmeal bread- oh the smell is divine. The bread with a blueberry honey spread and fresh fruit is today’s breakfast. Maiden will be cooking up her family-famous pizza grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch and we’ll be enjoying corn chowder and biscuits for dinner. [click here for weekly menu plan].

I am creating... lists upon lists. Grocery lists, to do lists, school lists, clothing needs lists. I’m also putting together a couple of projects for Maiden and two of her girlfriends for later in the week.

I am going... to Aldi’s! We’ve managed to stretch our major grocery shopping (always at Aldi’s) to once every 3 weeks but this time it’s been 4 weeks (due to the camping trip we stretched a bit more). Tonight is VBS.

I am wearing... Royal blue T with big grinning fish on it that says “God is good”, blue jean capris and a sweatshirt jacket.

I am reading... I’ll be starting the Twilight series that the kids in my youth group have all been yapping about so that I know what they are yapping about. I’m also flipping thru and marking a few Gooseberry Patch books for gift-giving and new recipes to try.

I am hoping... to be able to stretch my dollars at Aldi’s in order to get everything on my list.

I am hearing... the children eating breakfast and getting dressed. The neighbor sawing on something. The rumble of a train going through.

Around the house... I’ve got school books and schedules spread out all over my dining room table. With the kids at VBS every night this week it is my plan to get this taken care of once and for all. The house is pretty tidy but I need to go thru with the big duster and tackle those spider webs that creep up out of nowhere and multiply.

One of my favorite things... a weeded garden.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week... VBS, school final-stage planning, work on planning for homeschool group and MOPS group also.

Pizza Grilled Cheese

Make grilled cheese like you normally do but add a tablespoon or so of pizza sauce between the slices of cheese (we always make our grilled cheese with two slices of cheese).
You can also add some toppings. Maiden sprinkles it with a bit of oregano and added crumbled bacon today.
Grill just like any other grilled cheese sandwich.
Yummo!
