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.

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

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 ...
