A Simple Woman

I am trying something new. My friend does this every week and I am finding I really enjoy the glimpses into her days. I thought maybe you guys would enjoy some of my glimpses too.


FOR TODAY 7/21/13 Outside my window...It is grey and cloudy. It rained on and off yesterday. It was nice. I always feel blessed with a break from the sweltering Southern California summers.
I am thinking...About my to do list. I need to grocery shop tomorrow.
I am thankful...For Wikipedia. I have been using it a lot lately. You can actually find out some good things. Also for my husband watching the girls so I could get a long nap in today.
In the kitchen...It is kind of messy but it means I cooked lunch today.
I am wearing...My favorite denim skirt and a blue shirt. 
I am creating...A book or a short story. Maybe both. I'm not too far in the character development but it gives me something to think about other than housekeeping and kids!
I am going...Grocery shopping tomorrow and the Zoo on Tuesday with the girls. There are few places I like more than the zoo.
I am wondering...How to get everything done on my list. It seems like it just gets longer and longer!
I am reading...Prelude to Glory Volume 2 The Times That Try Men's Souls by Ron Carter. It is a wonderful historical fiction about the Revolutionary War.
I am hoping...To get everything done around the house in time for Sophie's birthday party in 10 days.
I am looking forward to...Starting a writer's club with some friends of mine.
I am learning...That I have to shut the criticism in my mind up.
Around the house...There are things strewn roundabout and cute little girls watching their favorite TV shows.
I am pondering...The poem The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams. I haven't thought about it since college. I always liked the simplicity of it. It makes me want to get my old poetry book out again.
A favorite quote for today...Pil hight (pillow fight) My almost 3 year old has learned what that is and consequently asks every night to have a pil hight before bed.
One of my favorite things...Grocery Shopping. I love to grocery shop and even take my kids because I know they learn so much as we go.
A few plans for the rest of the week… Clean and grocery shop Monday plus Family Night with my extended family, Zoo Tuesday, Cub Scouts Wednesday, Sensory Play day Thursday, Friday maybe Pharaoh's.
A peek into my day... One of my favorite things to do is sneak pictures of my kids when they sleep because they crack me up!
