Simple Woman’s Daybook
I am thinking… about all the things I got done today. It was a good day.
I am thankful for… Good days, and having traded children back and forth with another mother to help make it a good day for all four of us.
From the kitchen… I can hear groceries being put away as a prelude to food being made.
I am wearing… Jeans and a flowered green shirt, with a silk long underwear undershirt. Sneakers that hurt my feet too, because I’m too tired to take them off before I head for the shower, which will be as soon as I finish this.
I am creating… a blog post. There was a lot of more interesting stuff created at other times, but right now, a blog post.
I am going… to sleep more tonight than I did last night I hope. Insomnia is annoying.
I am reading… Mystery books with recipes in them. Junk fiction which makes me want to go cook things, although not usually what the recipes in the books are. Also lots of information about Wombats for Logan.
I am hoping… that Wednesday when school starts again doesn’t turn in to a snow day. It doesn’t look like it will.
I am hearing… The fish tank burble and John in the kitchen.
Around the house… it is quiet again. Logan fell asleep on our drive home from Eugene, the dog is waiting to start grooming loudly until I want to sleep, the house is clean, mostly, and tomorrow is planned to be a quiet day.
One of my favorite things… is reading cook books this week and last. And the time we’ve spent baking and working around the house the last two weeks. Another today is that Logan said I’m the “her best Penelope ever”, which, since she knows more than one Penelope is a higher compliment than the “best mother ever” version.
A few plans for the rest of the week: Tomorrow Logan and I go to Roseburg a final time before school starts, then Wednesday school starts. Friday I start an art class, once a week for eight weeks. First and Second Grand handwork will start again and I look forward to that. Back to the familiar, although tiring routines. Tomorrow is Twelfth Night, but this year other than explaining it to Logan we aren’t celebrating it. Sometimes we need simple.
Here is picture thought I am sharing…
The Simple Woman’s Daybook and participate or read other daybooks by following the link. You can also find the blog of the Simple Woman herself with this other link. Both say the daybook is on vacation until today, and nothing has changed. I’m supposed to link this post to something, but there is nothing there to link it to, currently, so it will hang in limbo for now.
