Simple Woman's Daybook!

FOR TODAY... Saint Patricks Day!

Outside my window...it is dreary and foggy and cooler than expected.

I am thinking...that I am blessed with so many wonderful relationships some new some old.

I am thankful for...the Internet. I have found my best friend from 7Th grade and I am going to give her a call today and catch up. It's been probably about 10 years since we've talked.

From the kitchen...it is a mess! Clutter, clutter, everywhere. I really need to get a desk so I can get my bills and paperwork off the kitchen counter. I can't stand clutter.

I am wearing...my new favorite pair of jeans and a green sweater in honor of St Patty's Day.

I am creating...a yard outside. We planted shrubs and bushes and flowers yesterday and it's just amazing what a little greenery can do to the front of a house.

I am going...to take the second part of my teaching exam tomorrow. It is more the ethical and moral side to teaching. I'm nervous but not like I was for the content exam.

I am reading...I haven't started a new book since finishing my last one.

I am hoping...that these next few months of school go by quickly. I LOVE having my girls home everyday with me. We had a wonderful spring break just being together.

I am hearing...Lifesong by Casting Crowns is playing in the background and my stomach is growling letting me know it's getting close to lunch time. All else is quiet.

Around the house...is a few messes I need to work on. I have lots of dirty laundry from the weekend being gone, unmade beds because I worked at the school this morning and rushed around and floors that need mopped. I LOVE my dark hard wood floors, but they show every speck of dirt and dust....

One of my favorite things...is listening to the kids read to me in Kirstin's class. It is just awesome to watch that light bulb turn on when they figure a word or sound out.

A few plans for the rest of the week...my test tomorrow, cleaning house and planting more outside, calling my long lost friend who I've found, laundry, finding Kirstin a new gym to go to and loving on my husband and girls....

Here is picture thought I am sharing... this was taken this past weekend at the Houston Livestock Show. God has big things in store for this young lady as she just amazes me with her confidence and strength. She raised her pig for months, trained it, showed it, sold it and wants to do it all over again even though it was difficult.
