A Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window... it is rainy and gray.

I am thinking... that I need a nap.

I am thankful for... my kids even if they are driving me crazy.

From the kitchen... nothing yet but I am making applesauce pork chops for dinner.

I am wearing... jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt.

I am reading... Creative Knitting magazine and I Thee Wed by Amanda Quick.

I am hoping... that the weather will be nice so we can grill on Friday.

I am creating... a home.

I am hearing... Jimmy crying because he is in a time out.

Around the house... is mostly tidy.

One of my favorite things... is quiet!

A few plans for the rest of the week... I am taking two weeks of school so mostly cleaning and relaxing.

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

5 Years Ago

It is hard to believe that 5 years ago I was in the hospital giving birth to a beautiful baby boy.


Now he is so big. He knows the alphabet and how to write his name. He can do addition and build amazing Lego trucks and houses. Where did my baby go?
