The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY Monday September 10, 2012

Outside my window... darkness

I am thinking... that I wish I was still sleeping

I am thankful for... my son who got up yesterday and made everyone breakfast

From the learning rooms... I have a new motto for the year:  "Character not Curriculum."  On the days I remember the motto things go well.  Sometimes and I forget and stress everyone out.  Overall though this has started as a much better year than how we ended things in the spring.  

From the kitchen... Steak for the grown-ups and hot dogs for the kids.

I am wearing... pajamas of course, especially since I had no intention of being awake right now

I am creating... a monthly menu

I am going... to Magic Kingdom if the rain holds off

I am reading... Nothing... I managed to read 2 books last week though.

I am hoping... that Lilly gets over the sleep issue she has had for the last week.

I am hearing... Lilly playing with books and silence from the rest of the house

Around the house...  The house is a mess, as usual.  Unless we get rained out today it will remain a mess for another day.

One of my favorite things... I always have loved my gel pens.

A few plans for the rest of the week... This is our first week back at co-op and my first time teaching a class.  Next weekend Tyler and Jeff are planning a camping trip with the Boy Scouts.
