The Simple Woman’s Daybook ~ August 2

Good Morning and welcome to August! I’m sorry to be away for so long – life has surely been busy around here lately! Here is my Daybook entry for today ~

Outside my window. . .hot, hot, hot – temperatures in the 100′s all week – but the Crepe Myrtles and the Rose of Sharons are still blooming beautifully.
~~~~~~~~~~
I am thinking. . .about my plans for decluttering, rearranging and redecorating (nothing major) the house this month.
~~~~~~~~~~
From the learning room. . .need to spend some focused time on planning for the new year, file away last year’s books and papers, and get the bookshelves ready for the new school year.
~~~~~~~~~~
I am thankful for. . .a wonderful and fun week of VBS last week – so thankful for the great time we all had and also so thankful for getting back to normal this week.
~~~~~~~~~~
From the kitchen. . .Parmesan chicken, rice and green beans for dinner tonight.
~~~~~~~~~~
I am wearing. . .my pj’s still this morning.
~~~~~~~~~~
I am creating. . .a more restful and pleasant home by removing the stress of “too much stuff”.
~~~~~~~~~~
I am going. . .to be spending part of this day floating in the pool with the kids – we haven’t swam in weeks with all of our busy days of late.
~~~~~~~~~~
I am reading. . .“The Excellent Wife”.
~~~~~~~~~~
I am hoping. . .that our planned trip to Six Flags this week won’t be too miserable in the heat!
~~~~~~~~~~
I am hearing. . .children talking, ceiling fan spinning, Spongebob cartoon.
~~~~~~~~~~
Around the house. . .much that I want to do as already mentioned, including dishes and laundry, as always on a Monday morning.
~~~~~~~~~~
One of my favorite things. . .time at home.
~~~~~~~~~~
A few plans for the rest of the week. . .library, swimming, cleaning out, Ladies Bible Study, ice skating, and a day at Six Flags with the kids.
~~~~~~~~~~
Here is a picture thought I am sharing. . .

Poolside lunch – yummy!
