The Simple Woman's Daybook -- Wednesday, July 13, 2011

Hosted by Peggy.

Outside my window...a cooler day with thunderstorms likely for the foreseeable future, sunny and green after all the rain we've already gotten.

I am thinking...about how little I'll see Fiona once school starts.

I am thankful... that we caught the earlier bus home last night from work -- so we didn't have to wait another hour or more!

From the learning rooms...picking Becoming a Life Change Artist back up -- it's one of the few books I've read where it's so rich and dense with goodness that I have to keep coming back to it -- still haven't finished it.

In the kitchen... all the dishes clean -- maybe I should ponder making bread tonight or tomorrow.

I am going...  to work Friday, Saturday, & Sunday this weekend.

I am wondering... what tomorrow will be like.

I am reading... The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Boat of Her Own Making, with Fiona.

I am hoping... to be able to see my out-laws a fair bit when they are here in August.

I am looking forward to...last time I did the Daybook I didn't have an answer for this one so I posted on facebook that I needed something to look forward to -- now I have a letter coming from my friend Beth -- a good thing to look forward to.

I am hearing... Fiona playing happily outside, the kitchen clock ticking, and Song of the South by Alabama playing on Pandora -- always reminds me of road trips with my grandparents.

Around the house...needing to unpack the clothes that are in a breaking cardboard box and wash the sheets.  Kellan, Josie, and Jen will be home soon.

One of my favorite things...rain


Here is picture for thought I am sharing...  Fiona with the three things she bought with birthday and Easter money from Grandma and Grandpa Carlson, Grandma King, Grandma Connie and Grandpa Don -- A new sun hat (the skulls were her choice), a stuffed animal/monster she's named Cross-Eyed, and a stencil art book (and one of the pictures she's made with it)!  She really loves being able to pick things out and buy them with her own money.  Thank you to all of you!!
