Daybook {09.24.12}

FOR TODAY: September 24, 2012


Outside my window... at 8:30 in the eveing, there is no longer the sunshine pouring onto my backyard.  It's dark out and I can't see a whole lot.

I am thinking...that a little bit more sleep will be nice.  I hope Sarah sleeps without nightmares tonight.

I am thankful... for much.

In the kitchen... tidy.  Good enough.

I am wearing...capri leggings and a green tank top.

I am creating...not much of anything.  I'm not really in a creative mood as of late.

I am going...to survive this stage of our lives.  We are in a bit of a tough time right now but we'll pull through.

I am wondering... about too much to write about. 

I am reading...  Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and Twilight Children by Torey Hayden

I am hoping... that when my kids are grown up and older that they thank me for the education route we chose.  I hope they are pleased with the outcome and so I feel I did a good job.  I never take their schooling lightly and I have made many sacrifices by keeping them home.  Yes, some days are harder than others but in the big picture, I still believe that home is best for them. We as parents get the honor and privilege of choosing what WE think is in their best interest. 

I am looking forward to... the weekend.  Seems like a long ways off yet.

I am learning... a lot more about certain things than I ever thought I would.

Around the house... tidy but lived in.

I am pondering... how busy life quickly gets in the fall.  Daybreak, piano, drama, Bible study, coffee dates, appointments.  I have had to work at saying *no* to some things because I don't think I could put one more even on our calendar!

One of my favorite things...a cool breeze blowing in my bedroom window so that I can snuggle deep under the covers and stay warm!

A few plans for the rest of the week... Daybreak, a park date with friends, a consultation with Wendy... and that might be it.

'Cungles' and Other Things

I nee' a cungle (I need a cuddle)
You a best ever (You're the best ever)
Too pa (thank you)
Peese a come? (Can I come?)
Yay yo (Here it/he/she is)
Toy dowy (Toy Story)
Peese a van buckle (I want to go in the van)
Sobeys cookie (I want to go to Sobeys for a cookie)
Pink Cheerios (Fruit Loops)

These are some of Sarah's most popular phrases. I love how her speech is starting to develop and become her own.

Daybook {09.03.12}

FOR TODAY: September 3, 2012

Outside my window... I can see the sunshine making it's presence known along our fence.  Trying to hard to warm up the earth, now that the days are getting shorter and we have less daylight.

I am thinking...how nice it was to have a nap only one hour after getting up!

I am thankful... for much.

In the kitchen... tidy but busy looking.  A few dishes left on the counter from last night but not as bad as it has been before.

I am wearing... long yoga pants and a baggy teal colored shirt.

I am creating...ways to simplify our home.

I am going...to see what else I can sell or purge as I reduce the amount of *stuff* in our house.

I am wondering... what to do today.  It's the Monday of a long weekend and the day before our school starts.  Maybe some school prep...

I am reading... The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (I just finished it this morning).  Today I'll start Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

I am hoping... for a few more nice days of summer.  I'm not quite ready for fall yet!

I am looking forward to... getting the kids' school started soon.  Not sure what day we'll get going but hopefully soon.  We did take the whole summer off, in fact, we've been "off" since early May.

I am learning... that I can't bubble wrap my children and protect them from all the hurts that the world and other people will bring them.  I can teach them how to deal with it, encourage them and promise to be on their side no matter what.  Parenting junior high kids is a whole new ball game and I am praying for wisdom as I venture into this adventure.

Around the house... tidy but lived in.

I am pondering...

Foods I won't eat... onions, eggs and nuts. 

A favorite quote for today... "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." - Heather Cortez

One of my favorite things...sleeping kids. *love*

A few plans for the rest of the week...just school and maybe a coffee date or two

Happy Monday!
