Simple Woman's Daybook, May 4th

I see these pop up on friends' journals and blogs I frequent once in awhile, and I love them. :) My favorite Simple Woman's Daybook is on HsKubes' site. She always has such nice picture thoughts, and somehow even just reading about her day and week is always uplifting in the Lord and encouraging to me as a homemaker/homeschooler/mother/wife. I thought I'd try my hand at one...



For today, May 4th 2009:

Outside my window...
It is bright, very bright, but cloudy. My kind of Seattle weather :) Not too hot, and not dreary.

I am thinking...
About our busy week...starting with some heavy-duty housecleaning

From the learning rooms...
Working on our science fair project today primarily :)

I am thankful for...
My husband finally acquiring employment and starting his new job today!

From the kitchen...
To celebrate the new job, BBQ'd corn-on-the-cob and California Chicken Burgers, plus salad and watermelon!

I am wearing...
Jeans and a blue shirt

I am reading...
A beautiful new children's gardening book for ideas this week

I am hoping...
To find a way to pay rent! It can't be put off much longer, and it will be awhile before this new job he started today yields a paycheck.

I am creating...
Rainbows :)

I am praying...
For a smooth transition, favor, energy, friends, and quick adaption for Hubby today, for good integration into his team and good understanding, quickness of mind, and ability to do all the tasks, new and familiar, before him at work from now on.

Around the house...
Probably the worst my house has been in a long time! Therefore, I am housecleaning and the only school we are working on is the science project.

One of my favorite things...
Oreo cookies...so good, but so bad for you...

A few plans for the rest of the week...
Tomorrow night, getting together with my sisters to discuss wedding details (my youngest sister is getting married in a month!!)...maybe going for cupcakes with a friend...hopefully having dinner with a dear friend and her family on Saturday...and in general, just cleaning house and doing school :)

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...
