Simple Woman's Daybook!

TODAY July 8th, 2009

Outside my window...It is dark and quiet beside the faint sound of someone shooting a gun of in the distance. It's actually a nice evening in Texas, not blazing hot like it's been lately.

I am thinking...that I ate too much today. We went to the movies and splurged on candy and popcorn and went to eat dinner at the local Mexican food joint with some new friends.

I am thankful for...home alarms! Gives me a feeling of security on those nights when Richard is working late or is not home.

From the kitchen...sits some household goods that were purchased at Target today that needs to be put away, a gallon of fresh sun tea, a half eaten cake and some other small junk. The kitchen counters are a gathering place.

I am wearing...Cutoff shorts and a tee shirt.

I am creating...trying to create a CD with all my pictures on it, but haven't succeeded as of yet.

I am going...to pick Alex up from camp tomorrow and hug on her, she is something else special to me.

I am reading...still doing my frazzled female bible study.

I am hoping...to get called for an interview soon.

I am hearing...Wizards of Waverly Place in the living room playing on TV and the hum of the AC, all else is QUIET!

Around the house...are 4 tired and leaning towards cranky people. We have had a great day, but are all tired tonight.

One of my favorite things...is spending time doing things with my girls. We don't do the movies much but went today and had fun. They are so appreciative and always tell us thank you for doing things.

A few plans for the rest of the week...Pick Alex up tomorrow, get her unpacked and repacked on Thursday, Splash Kingdom on Friday, then take the three of them to the airport on Saturday. I start my classes on Monday so the girls are leaving for a week. Richard will also start the reserves this weekend, so I have NO idea what I am going to do Saturday night and Sunday as my whole family will be GONE.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

This was taken a few weeks ago at Hurricane Harbour in Arlington. We had such a great time, the only thing missing was Richard, but thankfully him working allows us to do these road trips and adventures.
