The Simple Woman's Daybook for November 9th

Outside my window.... Its sort of cloudy today. But still a beautiful fall morning. There's a hint in the air of warming up today!

I am thinking.... about the upcoming Thanksgiving season, and why we have a "season" of Thanksgiving, when in reality, we should be thankful at all times. :)

I am thankful for.... the health of my children, even though we have in the last three weeks fought H1N1, strep, infections and chicken pox. Oh and stubbornness. Is that an ilness??

I am wearing.... well, you got me there. I'm still in my pjs. :) My most favorite, comfy grey pants and a FiberNet T-shirt.

I am remembering... what our services use to be like in the old white church years ago.

I am going.... nowhere today. But lots to do on the list! Hopefully at the end of the day, there will be a clean van, less laundry, and a painted cabinet.

I am reading.... my KJV Bible, and debating on starting "The Shack".

I am hoping.... to get my schedule lined out for my CCCA gym classes and Christmas play practice.

On my mind... Oh my, lots today. Thinking about my mom, who is going today for a Dr's appointment to talk about the brain surgery to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinsons.

From the learning rooms.... not much yet. But I see play-doh and paint in the next few hours.

Noticing that.... it's already warm enough in here to turn off the furnace and open the windows for the day.

Pondering these words.... My favorite verse... Ps. 56:13. SURELY thou will keep my feet from falling.... cause He knows I sure can't do that myself.

From the kitchen... Im thinking maybe burgers tonight. We haven't done that in a while.

Around the house... more straigtening up after my three whirlwinds, disinfecting, and continuing my spree of organizing like a maniac.

One of my favorite things... when one of my children randomly just comes up to me and hugs me. Absolutely thrills my heart and soul. :)

From my picture journal....

Time Change

Well, the time has changed. It is light at 6:00 am now and dark at 6:00 p.m. Personally, I cant stand this time change. I'd rather have the daylight in the evening... it makes for such a long evening cooped up inside for the kids. We have had such a beautiful fall though, seems like the last few years weren't this beautiful. The leaves just turned brown and fell off. But this year, wow! Every day has been beautiful. The contrast of colors from God's palate is absolutely amazing. There are no two colors that you can pick from nature that don't go together. We've had a wonderful season, with fall celebrations and parties. Now its on to the Holiday season - my favorite time of the year! Well, right now it is anyways. A couple of months ago, Fall was my favorite time of the year. In about 6 months, Spring will be my favorite time of the year! I'm so glad I have the ability to change my mind! :) Hope everyone has a beautiful and wonderful day today! God Bless!
