Simple Woman's Daybook

a little late to the show here. my bloggy friends tracy and melanie participated in The Simple Woman's Daybook, and i decided that i simply must do it too!

For Today...


Outside my window... sun so bright it hurts my eyes.


I am thinking... that a nap with daisy the pug would be nice.


From the learning rooms... not too much, we're taking a bit of a break.


I am thankful for... my family, most definitely.


From the kitchen... i recently cooked for the first time in a long time. i made manicotti. it was a hit and in fact sent some to my parents who loved it too. i was just happy to be able to treat them all.


I am wearing... vera bradley sleep pants and a tee.


I am creating... well the concept is still stuck in my mind waiting for me to take action and i'm running out of time, i want to make father's day photos for dad and papa.


I am going... to busch gardens on saturday.


I am reading... sylvia browne's "book of dreams".


I am hoping... this could be a long list but for the immediate- i hope that my friend heidi will continue to handle her stem cell transplant well-she is amazing, i hope that my friend kara's new options will finally knock her lymphoma down, i hope that the recent days of feeling pretty good will continue and only get better, and i hope to be able to keep up with the family this saturday and not ruin their fun.


I am hearing... peace and quiet except for the sweet snores coming from daisy.


I am praying...always for kelley and bethany to be safe, healthy and happy.


Around the house... a major laundry intervention is needed as usual.


One of my favorite things... carvel ice cream cake with lots of fudge and chocolate crunchies in the middle


A few plans for the rest of the week... working on that laundry problem, reading, a trip to the vet for daisy, hopefully some fun time with kelley and bethany who are busy this week with cheer camp and vacation bible school.


Here is a picture that I am sharing... (a memory from kelley's 4th grade year. she's in the front in the white shirt.)
