Simple Woman

Outside my window it is warmer than usual and darker than usual for five o’clock

I am thinking I am in reach of completing some long overdue household projects in time for the holidays.

I am thankful for tamilflu and my niece’s quick recovery from Swine flu.

I am wearing jeans, comfy shoes and grey thermal henley.

I am going many places this week, but nowhere today.

I am reading Nancy Drew mysteries with Hannah.

From the learning rooms lots of reading with Thomas and Hannah and I am hopeful we will have our tree of thanks ready by Friday/

From the kitchen a pot of stew is simmering on the stove.

Around the house I have conquered some clutter hotspots and maintained them for a whole day.

A few plans for this week include maintaining my progress around the house; basketball for Thomas and Hannah; play practice; Memorial Mass for Ryan Barrett; Ballet; maybe host our family Rosary group Friday night.

One of my favorite things is a day with nowhere to go.

A picture thought I am sharing:

Read the other daybook entries at Peggy's . And have yourself a great week!
