Simple Woman's Daybook!

FOR TODAY Monday, March 9th 2009.

Outside my window...It is warm and humid but overcast and cloudy. Our grass is finally starting to grow and we have buds on the trees we've planted.

I am thinking...I am going to enjoy this week with my girls on spring break. They are all outside playing right now and I LOVE it when they use their imaginations and play hard.

I am thankful for...Alex. She is a strong girl at 12 years old. She has proved herself over and over these past few weeks. She did not make the cheer squad and was broken hearted,but called her friends that did to congratulate them. She has so much character.

From the kitchen...The kitchen is a mess. We have dishes in the sink and a dishwasher that needs emptied. The breakfast omelet pan sits dirty on the stove. Laundry is taking over the kitchen table, but I will get to that soon. I am enjoying my first day of the week quietly and slowly today.

I am wearing...Richard's long sleeve TCU teeshirt and a pair of shorts. My hair is pulled up in a pony tail and I am barefoot. Shoes are highly overrated I think!

I am creating...a decorated house. We hung new draperies in the kitchen yesterday and LOVE them. It's amazing what two panels of fabric can add to a room.

I am going...to the post office today. I have a couple packages to mail.

I am reading... I just finished a fabulous book. "Same Kind of Different as Me" Written by Ron Hall and Denver Moore. I highly recommend the book. It is about a homeless man and a very wealthy man who become best friends. The book deals with forgiveness, love, and compassion. It is a true account of these mens lives and how the wife of one brings them together and bonds the families forever.

I am hoping...that my sister has a beautiful birthing experience, her day is coming soon and Sam I Am will be here.

I am hearing...the girls outside playing, (I LOVE that sound) and my tv going in the background.

Around the house...are many messes. I have cleaning to do today. I haven't done much since we've been back from California and need to finish the laundry and cleaning today. I might, and I might not.....

One of my favorite things...is traveling with Richard. It always renews all the feelings I have for him and he always spoils me a little more on vacations. He is really so good to me.

A few plans for the rest of the week...Alex has a dentist appointment today, Kali starts horse back riding lessons tomorrow and I have a hair appointment on Wednesday. I still need to make arrangements and find out about the livestock show in Houston this weekend. And I we might catch a movie or paint some pottery over spring break..

Here is picture thought I am sharing...
This picture was taken last week in San Francisco. This was on the boat as we were going over to the island of Alcatraz to tour the prison. It was cold, rainy, and windy, but we had a great time touring the prison and being together. As we got off the boat, it hailed and poured on us. We had about a mile walk back to the hotel and were SOAKED and COLD when we got there, but the truth is, this was my favorite part of the trip.....Memories in the rain.
