Monday Daybook

Now for my daybook…. To participate in the meme is simple. All you do is answer the bolded questions with your own answers and then link yourself at the Simple Woman’s blog each week. You’re always welcome to check out the other ladies’ Daybooks who participated. This is a very sweet homekeeping meme that I’d encourage you to do as well.

For Today…March 29, 2010 at 4:28pm.

Outside my Window…grey skies but lots of birds at the feeder.  My goldfinches are starting to turn bright yellow!  And I have pretty groups of pink violets all over the backyard!

I am thinking…that I'm worried about church stuff, worried about moving, worried about college, and probably worried about a zillion other things, too, like finding enough time to plan next year's school year before next week. 

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things," Philippians 4:6-8 (NASB).

I'm also thinking that I need to get back to training, but I am really happy that I did 13.1 miles recently!

From the learning rooms…we are really enjoying the book Christy.  Woodrow Wilson was dyslexic, so we're thinking he's pretty cool.  WWI is now over, and Walt Whitman is not really one of our favorite poets.  (Hmmm, that's a lot of double w's in those sentences!)

I am thankful for…a clean house and antibiotics that will hopefully work (and not have any side effects) to get rid of my sinus and eye infections.

From the kitchen…Craig is warming up leftovers from the Ducks Unlimited Banquet!  Mmmm, pork loin and cheesy potatoes!  Plus a nice salad he made.

I am wearing…comfy clothes.  It's my brown fleece sweatsuit.  I'm afraid I'm starting to dress like Sue Sylvester.

Well, hey, as long as I don't start acting like her, right? :D  But, you know, I am in training for a marathon...

I am reading…all of the same books I've been reading for a while now.  IOW, I haven't been reading much lately.

I am hoping… that the house sells soon!  We've had two showings already, which is encouraging.  We may not have many this week because people are on spring break, but who knows?   I'm also hoping that the little brown creeper birdie Sarah and I found outside the glass doors at the doctor's office was just stunned and not dead.  (I think it was dead, though. :( )

I am creating…nothing, at the moment.  I did a publicity piece for the church for Palm Sunday and Easter.  I also did a bunch of stuff for the DU Banquet, including the program and several signs.

I am hearing...Katie playing a Nancy Drew game, Sarah watching Word Girl, and Craig working in the kitchen.  I don't have any music on at the moment.

Around the house… maintenance mode is on now.  I should do laundry.  I also think we should have a family night before Craig and I start watching our shows.

One of my favorite things… being healthy!  And my family being healthy!  I'm also liking the spring flowers, and all of my birds.

I am praying for... good health, our church, wisdom for me and direction regarding college, and our house to sell quickly!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…Tutoring, band, YEC, birthday party, and Easter!  I hope to make it to a few special services during this Holy Week, too.

I accomplished since last week…cleaning.  I also survived a really hectic couple of weeks--doctor visits, college visits, DU Banquet, co-op, realtor visit, house showings, shopping at the Mall (UGH!), etc.  It truly has been very stressful, busy, and overwhelming!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you:
