Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY: February 2, 2009

Outside my window...
I see a lot of broken branches lying in our yard from the blustery weather of the past couple of weeks...we'll need to do a "burning pile" soon;
also, no birds yet at the suet feeder J hung up

I am thinking...
that I'm hungry and need to go make some breakfast :-)

I am thankful for...
the men and women of the US Military who bravely sacrifice much for the people of this land

From the learning rooms...
TOG Y2, Week 23 - Restoration Colonies and the Age of Louis XIV
Latin and Science today at Nathan's house
getting ready for the Great Backyard Bird Count

From the kitchen...
water is boiling for a cup of hot tea


I am wearing...
my pajamas...

I am creating...
ummm... nothing creative going on at the moment

I am going...
to Texas later this week to hug my 23-year-old son before he gets on a plane for the Middle East, where he'll spend the next 12 months or more, wearing the uniform of the US Army

I am reading...
"The Church in History" by B.K. Kuiper
"The Spontaneous Spread of Home-Discipleship Christianity" by Henry Ryenga Jr.


I am hoping...
for deep, heart-felt conversations with my dear husband as we drive my son's car back from TX ;-)

I am hearing...
....quiet.....

Around the house...
the kids are slow moving this morning.... I need to put some peppy music on and start getting the energy level up around here

One of my favorite things...
onion rings -
Carolina Ale House makes great ones! thin & crispy and oh, so NOT good for you

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Lighthouse meeting tomorrow night
basketball practices
packing and cleaning!
flying to Texas and driving back to North Carolina

Here is a picture thought I am sharing..

we got a couple of inches of snow last week ~ it lasted 2 days, and might be all we get this winter
