The Simple Woman's Daybook Entry ~ April 17th

For Today...

Outside my window...no sun; the sky is cloudy

I am thinking....about how much schoolwork I have left to complete this evening

before I'm done.  

I am thankful....for my family.  My kids keep me going....always.

In the kitchen....there's coffee brewing!  It sounds like music to me.  Fresh coffee

along with buttered toast to eat.  The kitchen floor has been stripped of linoleum and 

bleached/cleaned until they're a powdered white.  My husband will

be going to Lowe's today to purchase some new linoleum.  

I am wearing.... my white pajamas with tiny red rosebuds.  White socks on my feet 

and a pink checked robe.  My hair is in a ponytail, as always!

I am creating....nothing right now.  I have my nose in the books.  But I have beautiful

fabric just waiting for me to cut out and sew up into something lovely.

I am going.....to purchase some more books from Amazon.  I love to read!

I am wondering...if I should cook this evening or get take-out.  Spaghetti sounds good!

I am reading....St. Anne ~ Grandmother of Our Saviour, by Frances Parkinson Keyes.  

I was so fortunate to find this great book!

I am hoping.....to lose a few more pounds before my son's graduation.  He finishes high 

school, May 17th of this year!  I'm so very proud of him!  My first homeschooled

graduate!

I am looking forward to....summer!  Drinking pink lemonade, swimming at the

YMCA, eating watermelon and walking at night around ACU while looking at the stars!

I am learning.....to keep waiting and waiting for an acceptance letter into an RN

program.  

Around the house....there are beds to be made, floors to sweep, two bathrooms to

clean, Sadie needs to be fed/watered.  Patrick, our cat, is prowling around outside 

somewhere.

A few plans for the rest of the week...finishing up paperwork in both classes that I'm taking, 

going to work at the hospital, mailing out invitations to our son's high school

graduation,watching old movies, reading, praying.
 Easter weekend is coming up.

Deo gratias.

A peek into my day....

Can't do one without the other; academics

and my rosary.
