Simple Woman's Daybook ... my first

FOR TODAY...

Outside my window... very cold (for the South) . 32 and that appears to be the high for the next few days ... brrrrrr!
I am thinking... about starting my photoshop online tutorial. I really want THAT to be something I accomplish for ME this year.
I am thankful for... feeling a little better since my really bad stomach ache. It knocked me out last night and because of it, I got very little sleep.
I am wearing... comfy clothes. I'm cold and feeling about 60% so the look for today is polartec top, stretchy black Champion pants, and my UGG boots when I do have to venture out in the next hour.

I am remembering... the great run I had yesterday on my new treadmill. 5 miles ... WOO HOO!
I am going... to take girls to swim practice, basketball practice tonight, and in between a stop at the Church for my daughter who volunteers to tutor.

I am currently reading... Hard as Nails by Justin FaticaI've actually had this book for a while, but never picked it up.

I am hoping... that my 4 year old has a great FIRST DAY at pre-k tomorrow. She was supposed to start Monday, but we had a "snow" day.
On my mind... what's not on my mind ? I'm always thinking and worried about something. The most pressing thing might be that I hope that I made a good decision to switch my plan about homeschooling. My 12 year old will be starting k12 ... the independent version. I tried to get her signed up this year through our virtual academy, but she hasn't budged from the #18 waiting list spot. We are struggling a bit on our own. Hopefully k12 will be a good move.
Noticing that... there is way too much negative status updates on FACEBOOK. I really try not to ever put whiney, complaining, or negative things as my update.
Pondering these words... "Do not worry about tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil" Matthew 6:34
From the kitchen... hot cocoa or lemon zinger tea. One I want, but I think the other will fair better in my stomach.

Around the house... laundry catch up, vacuuming dog hair (ugh). My house looks a little less cluttered since the Christmas decorations were taken down on Sunday.
One of my favorite things~ watching a child read.
From my picture journal...

I love this cute girl in the cozy hat. She had so much fun on our little getaway.

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time. It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc. I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be. I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL . If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year. Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
