The Simple Woman's Daybook

I found this and I am hoping that by writing all this down, I will learn to slow down and be the woman I should be. 

For today October 15

Outside My Window . . . At home I can see the Confederate Rose and Mexican Petunias and Lantana that are blooming. At work I can see  the cedar tree that the squirrels gather bark from. It is humid and rainy. An icky day.

I am thinking . . . that I have a million things to do here at work and that many times two at home. I need to do something with all the pears that are still on the tree.

I am thankful for . . . Jess, Mrs. Pat & Mr. Robert, flowers that bloom

From the kitchen . . . made pear preserves a few weeks ago and two of the jars are molding. Not sure why, the seal is good. I need to make a pear cake for my dad.

I am wearing . . . a mom shirt! Taylor played fall ball a few years ago in Lufkin and I had to have a shirt that says Crockett Baseball. The only one I have for him but I have three for Latexo Volleyball—go Jess!!! Ever wonder how a person who has no kids of their own has "mom" shirts? I do and I'm the one with them in my closet!!

I am creating . . . a baby blanket for Ronda (yellow b/c don't know what she's having, using a bushy stitch), a throw for Jamie (in Red Heart Sunshine Print b/c her favorite color is orange!), and a shawl for me (in pink camo of course!!!).

I am going . . . insane! Between crocheting, working, hunting, volleyball games, and my dad, life is BUSY!!

I am reading . . . Moon Music by Faye Kellerman, Get Out of that Pit by Beth Moore, and A Modern Girl's Guide to Bible Study by Jen Hatmaker (yes I read more than one book at a time—doesn't everybody?).

I am hoping . . . to get my two does this weekend before I have to hunt with Taylor in youth season the next weekend.

Around the house . . . the clutter is taking over! 

One of my favorite things . . . picture of Jess playing softball

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: balance the checkbooks, pay all the bills, finish up to chapter 42 in references, make a pear cake, make homemade biscuits and gravy for supper one night this week (b/c I am seriously craving some!!)

Here is picture thought I am sharing . . . one of my favorite things, the pic of Jess. I have it on my desk at work and it always makes me smile.
