Simple Woman’s Daybook

FOR TODAY:
August 3rd, 2010…

Outside my window…the sun peaks through the cloud cover that is slowly creeping in.  It is 90 plus degrees today and we are expecting rain.

I am thinking…that I am feeling a little disconnected from a couple of my close friends.  I know life gets busy, mine and theirs, but I don’t want to use that as an excuse.  I need to find a way to reach outside myself and extend a hand to these friendships that are so important to me.

I am thankful for…the internet.  I realize, now that my home internet is down, how much I rely on it.  The internet allows almost anything to be at our fingertips.  Whenever I have a question I quickly look to google to find me the answer.

From the learning rooms…our official new school year will begin in 4 weeks.  Normally by this time in the summer I am prepped and ready to go.  This year, yesterday was my big jump into preparing.  I made good progress and feel a little more prepared.  Spelling (check), Science (check), ELA (check), Math (check), now if I could only get a handle on Geography/History.

From the kitchen…not too much as we still do not have a working refrigerator/freezer yet.  The repair company is coming tomorrow.  Hopefully it will be decent news.

I am wearing…a dress.  That seems to be my main wardrobe these days.  I started in a shirt and capris but quickly realized how warm it was going to be today.

I am creating…a super sized timeline for our homeschool room.  20-30 feet in length to become a border around most of the room.

I am reading…What did I do Wrong?  When Women Don’t Tell Each Other the Friendship is Over by Liz Pryor.

I am hoping…that my dad will be happy to see this post when he checks again in the morning.  He waged his formal complaint today that I have been lax in updating my blog.  I have a couple of blogs in the works but they take more brain power than I have available recently.  HOPEFULLY I will regain my brain power soon!

Around the house…clutter, clutter, and more clutter.  Taking down, putting up, reorganizing.  From closets to book shelves, bins, walls, and folders.

A quote for the week…A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.

A few plans for the rest of the week: not quite sure, I think Walk n Talk is on hold, Jayden and Joey are doing their football/soccer thing, Chloe is at the gym all day every day, Ava and I will attend story time, and prepare for camping.

Here is the picture for thought I am sharing…
