A Homemaker's Day Book

May 7, 2009

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW: It was really pretty today, warm and breezy at 73 degrees. This afternoon at 4 it clouded over and got cold and we should be getting rain again tonight. I love to sit by the open windows smelling and hearing the rain. It's so peaceful.

I AM THANKFUL FOR: Spring. I love the flowers, the green grass, the baby leaves, playing in the mud. Wait, let me rephrase that. I like watching my KIDS play in the mud. Kinda grosses me out personally.

FROM THE KITCHEN: Sweet Potato Enchiladas. Sort of. I modified it. It was good, but very interesting.

I AM READING: Twilight Children. It's a book written by a child psychologist about two children and a stroke victim. It's nice to know that even professionals are sometimes at a loss as to what to do with very difficult situations.

I AM HEARING: Jesse trying to untie a sock filled with corn from the top of his bunk bed. I'm not asking either.

I AM CREATING: Another rag quilt. I completed Jesse's and now have Isaac's to finish.

I AM GOING: To MOPS tomorrow for the last meeting of the season.

I AM HOPING: To get the kids back on track for the summer program I have ready for them. We are going to an year round school schedule.

AROUND THE HOUSE: Cleaned the house from top to bottom yesterday. I'm sure anyone can relate to this: you just deep cleaned last week and this week it's nasty again?

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS: All the laundry done.

A FEW PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK: Get the garden put in, sprout my tomatoes and peppers, start an African garden out of dog/cat food bags and a hanging garden.

A PICTURE THOUGHT FOR YOU: My computer got fried last month and so I don't have any good pictures to share this week. I'm still looking for the USB cord.
