A Simple Woman's Daybook ~ August 24th

The Simple Woman's Daybook ~ a weekly meme

Outside my window...
Beautiful and sunny. not too hot with a nice breeze, hard to believe it's August

I am thinking...
about the essay I need to have drafted by Friday. Procrastination really isn't allowed with college assignments.

I am thankful for...
my kids knowing I love them and that they know where ever they are if they need me they can call. (Yes, I realize this really only pertains to one, but that's okay)

From the kitchen...
hopefully something from the garden along with some chicken either grilled or baked. I might make some cake brownies if time permits.

I am wearing...
t-shirt and shorts

I am creating...
an organized area for my college stuff and also the kids school stuff. It may take more than today. :o)

I am going...
aside from picking up band girl from marching band practice this evening, I am not going anywhere.


I am reading...
Nothing right now. Just finished An Ordinary Man by Paul Rusesabagina for school. Gotta get that essay started.


I am hoping...
that nothing really goes on tonight. I peaceful and relaxing evening is what I crave.

I am hearing...
TobyMac! I have the iTunes going. The kids are all at school.

Around the house...
We are hoping to get the mud room and pantry cleaned. Our new puppy will be here in about 2 weeks. The kids are excited.

One of my favorite things...
enjoying the park with the kids. We got to spend quite a bit of time at the playground yesterday and the kids enjoyed it all around.

A few plans for the rest of the week...
Getting order restored. Drafting the essay. Making an area for the pup.
