Wanna Be a Steader!

The Simple Woman Daybook ~ #4 ~ 10/13/08

For Today...

Outside my window...another beautiful fall day.  Thank You, Lord.  Even though it is unseasonably warm today, once the rains came last week we started seeing some of that lovely red!

I am thinking...that I need to clean the kitchen!

From the learning rooms...NO SCHOOL TODAY!!  We're taking Columbus Day off as it comes on the same day that the Golden Angels homeschool volleyball team makes the trek up to Marion, Ohio for tonight's game.  It's the farthest we go for a regular season (non-tournament) game.  PLUS...my dear husband has today off from work (he's a contractor at a military base) and we want to spend as much time NOT traveling w/him as we can.

I am thankful for...an extra day to spend w/my sweetheart.

From the kitchen...my dh's favorite brunch of Amish French Toast and a new fresh loaf of bread.

I am wearing...my wonderful flannels!  Give me denim, flannel, thermal or cotton and I'm happy.

I am reading...The Last Days by Joel Rosenburg; he's sort of a Christian John Grisham-type writer.

I am hoping...that the repair work on my bow window won't cost an arm and a leg.

I am creating...a better organized house.

I am hearing...the radio, my dh turning pages in his morning newspaper.

Around the house...laundry, general house cleaning, enjoying each other's company.

One of my favorite things...now that our oldest dd is almost 21 and works outside the home, will be going back to school this January, has a social life and is involved w/a couple of ministries at our church - it's SO nice when all 4 of us can sit down to supper together.  We laugh, and gab, and plan.  It's an odd time of transition for me...I love to see them stretch their wings, but I miss being w/them all the time.

A few plans for the rest of the week...trying to keep school and housework on track w/all the volleyball.  I'm sorry I keep bringing this up, but at this time of year it's all-consuming; 3 and 4 games a week!  But this is dd#2's Senior year and we are trying to make this as special as possible (just as we did for dd#1)...so it's a big part of our lives until the 1st week of November.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

Speaking of volleyball.  They also got new uniforms this year, too.

Your daughter is beautiful! I'm glad you can all spend the day together. We're doing *some* school work today, but I'm taking it easy on them. :-)
