The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY Monday April 11, 2011

Outside my window... Well it seems like all I can say is it is either sunny or rainy.  Today it is sunny and warm.  

I am thinking... that my house is a mess and my kids are not cooperating and I am starting to get irritated

I am thankful for... my husband's frugality and sane spending habits

From the learning rooms... Tyler is off to Ohio so Maggie and I are planning some fun activities for the week.  Well, fun for her at least.

From the kitchen... my Mom will be here for dinner and requested a trip to the local steakhouse.  Delicious!  I won't be cooking much this week with Tyler out of town, Maggie not liking anything, and myself going back 100% on my weight loss plan.

I am wearing... my pajamas

I am creating... a household notebook in an effort to motivate myself

I am going... to the chiropractor and out to dinner.  I really need to go pick up my contacts, but for some reason I hate driving toward that area.

I am reading... I never did manage to read Nanny Returns.  I did just finish the newest book by Jodi Picoult Sing You Home.  I didn't really feel like reading it, but so glad I did.  The was one of her best books.

I am hoping... that I can motivate myself

I am hearing... the kids playing and quoting lines from the movie they watched yesterday.

Around the house... I feel like my house is a mess and needs a good spring cleaning.  But I hate to clean, so I am in a quandary.  I did completely clean out my refrigerator yesterday.  

One of my favorite things... coffee and flavored creamer

A few plans for the rest of the week... Tyler leaves for Ohio tomorrow.  Maggie and I are planning some play dates, girl scouts, park day and lots of cuddles.

Here is picture I am sharing...
