The simple woman's daybook

Outside My Window... It is a pleasant 80 something degrees. much better than it has been! You have to love Fall!

I am thinking... about Benny and wondering what he is doing right now.

I am thankful for... my family for taking care of me when Ben is gone, my friends for providing me with a much needed shoulder to lean on, my beautiful children for making me smile each day even when everything is going wrong.

From the learning rooms... I am excited to be leading a great bunch of ladies in our new Beth Moore bible study, The Inheritance.

From the kitchen... I am sadly unmotivated without Ben here to make anything but chicken nuggets, ravoli, frenchfries, pizza, and cereal.

I am wearing... blue capris with a white tanktop and flowered blue top

I am creating... a legacy for my children

I am praying... for Juana (and her premature baby Sonya), Chris-Ann, the troops, and a few others.

I am reading... "The lucky One" Nicholas Sparks, "Traveling Light" Max Lucado, "The Shack", Psalms 16:6

I am hoping... that I can get the house cleaned & the laundry put away today.

I am hearing... silence....the kids are sleeping.

Around the house....I need to clean out the litter box, take out the trash, mop the kitchen floor, clean the bathrooms.

One of my favorite things... has recently been sleeping with my husbands ka-bar because I am strangely nervous & on edge this detachment. (Don't enter my house without me being aware just fair warning!)
