This is a new way to share some of my thoughts that I want to try to do weekly. Warning: Comments may be very random, sarcastic, and real. You'll probably get to see the more imperfect part of my personality. I know, you didn't think I was imperfect, did you?
Outside my window...
It's cloudy but finally stopped raining. Maybe we can play outside later today.
I am thinking...
about the changes in my life. Am I ready for them?
I am thankful...
for employment (or should I say my husband's employment. My job of MOM will always be in demand). I have a friend who was recently laid off and the stress and unhappiness is painful.
From the kitchen...
The dishes are clean, do I really need to say more?
I am wearing...
pajamas, of course. I live in the east and I don't require myself to be productive until the rest of my family and friends in the west wake-up. (I know, it's a stretch).
I am creating...
a mess. I'm supposed to be organizing things. It's not working very well.
I am reading...
the Old Testament. I signed up for an Institute class. Sorry to say, this is my first time reading the Old Testament.
I am hoping...
that I get through this next week with my baby starting school.
I am hearing...
"Wonder pets, wonder pets, we're on our way to help the baby kitten and save the day." (Paige's favorite cartoon)
Around the house...
the floors are clean (vacuumed and mopped). We had visitors and there are some things I only do when we have visitors.
One of my favorite things...
is the smell of freshly cut grass. The Gap has a perfume that reminds me of cut grass. I love it but don't own any. (My birthday is coming up :).
A few plans for the next week...
will be very simple. I'm switching over to emotional survival. Paige will start school and then I will try to figure out my purpose in life. I know it sounds dramatic but that is where I'm at even if it is irrational. My babies are growing up.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing.
We went on a new adventure close to home. Lane got a little too close to this waterfall. I told him that I wouldn't jump in to save him. I know, that sounds so horrible when it's repeated. Not one of my good parenting moments.
If anyone else wants to do a "Simple Women's Daybook" on your blog I'd love to read them.

Hi Jen - what a great idea! I think I'm going to borrow it from you! Hope all goes well with your little one going to Kindergarten - it'll be okay - you will have all kinds of time to do all those projects you have been wanting to do. And no matter what, the baby is always your baby even when they are going into 2nd grade like mine. She still needs her mommy - yours will too!
Hi! I love this idea and I add mine to my blog if you want to check it out!
Don't worry, once she's off to kindergarten it'll be a whole other adventure!
