Simple Woman's Daybook, July 6, 2010

Outside my window...it is already 93, with the promise of about 96.  These are the days I can't explain how grateful I am for air conditioning.

I am thinking... that my parents should live much closer. and be here much more often.

I am thankful for... weekends which allow me to mellow, and sleep, and work out, and watch my children, and sit/swim/lay/read in the sun.

I am wearing... a dark brown bloused t-shirty-type-thing, khaki shorts.  eventually to be replaced by a swimsuit. :)

I am remembering... how different last fouth of July weekend felt...and so thankful to be settled and in less turmoil.

I am creating... forever memories.

I am going... to put my children to bed for naps in 14 minutes. 

I am reading... Rendezvous with Rama.

I am hoping...  to accomplish much this week. and finally find a routine for the summer. 

On my mind... opportunities and responsibilities.

From the learning rooms...  a relative amount of order...with (ahem) a tiny bit of chaos.  summer reading program in full swing. mostly.

Noticing that... the more time my children spend outside when it's 98, the more quickly they fall asleep at night. no matter where they sleep.

From the kitchen... yesterday, determined that i will never make shortcake again. cake with no oil. that's the way to go. started out as a mistake...didn't end that way. :)

Around the house... the girls are "judging" a "fashion show" on yoville. bryson is sulking about the nap. and the house...will wait until naptime to be tackled. it needs tackling

One of my favorite things... the smell of real vanilla throughout my house.

Praying for... answers. 

A few plans for the week... two swim meets, a horse lesson, gumpaste calla lilies, gerber daisies, and hydrangeas to begin for two cakes due in two weeks...
