The Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside My Window... it's 5 degrees Celsius, sunny and the sky is clear.

I am thinking... of Rachael, Jonathan and their families... still no news.

I am thankful for... the opportunity to stay home with my children.

From the kitchen... Yesterday I finished canning 40 lbs of pears. I still have a tub of bruised apples to make into apple sauce or apple butter and I'd like to try making some grape jelly.

I am wearing... my PJs. It's been a slow morning.

I am creating... plans for the next couple months: activities, feast days and crafts.

I am going... to vacuum my house this morning. I can't procrastinate any longer or the dust balls will mutate into monsters and take over.

I am reading... The Read-Aloud Handbook: Sixth Edition but I'm supposed to be reading The Inheritance of Loss for our upcoming book club meeting.

I am hoping... praying, hoping, praying that they find Rachael and Jonathan.

I am hearing... Sanctus Real - I'm Not Alright on youtube.

Around the house... things are disorganized and it's driven me nuts. I need to bring some stuff to the second hand store and get things in order around here.

One of my favorite things... buttered toast and a slice of cheese :)

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: my FIL's birthday, Monkey's first class of gymnastics and cleaning up the yard.
