The Simple Woman's Daybook - week of April 20, 2009

FOR TODAY... Monday April 20, 2009

Outside my window... cloudy and rainy... but April shower bring May flowers... so I will put up with the rain

I am thinking... about how to solve all the arguing around here... mostly my boys... over dumb stuff

I am thankful for... summer vacation... 15 days of school and counting...

From the learning rooms...
Lots of History: stuff to read, maps to do, lapbook for Maya, Aztecs, Incas; lapbook for Black Death in Europe
Almost done Health and Nutrition unit, this week reading and doing the activities in Five Kids and a Monkey: Solve The Great Cupcake Caper.

From the kitchen... Italian Chicken for tonight... who knows what for the rest of the week

I am wearing... blue jumper, turtle neck, knee socks, crocks

I am creating... blog posts to try and get on the TOS Review Crew

I am going... to a ladies retreat on the weekend, hopefully!

I am reading... same stuff.. have not had much time to read lately. See my Shelfari in my sidebar.

I am hoping... to finish all my TOS Reviews by Thursday night before I go to the Ladies Retreat

I am hearing... Seven Brides for Seven Brothers... I am watching and posting this then going to read e-mail, then cook dinner.

Around the house... lots to do, some of it getting done.

One of my favorite things... Bible Study with the ladies of church, 1st and 3rd Fridays ... my only chance to get out of the house during the week.

A few plans for the rest of the week: school, library as usual, laundry, cooking, eating, hopefully the retreat on the weekend.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...
