Simple Woman’s Daybook

For Monday, March 16^th, 2009

Outside My Window. . . rain, sun, rain, sun, and about 47 degrees.

I am thinking... about what changes might come about from the new priest that will be coming to our parish in July. Our current priest announced that he is being reassigned come July 1^st. It's exciting and hard at the same time to get a new priest.

I am thankful for... Seton's downloadable lesson plans. Click, click, click and I am finished!

From the kitchen. . . a diet. I decided to go ahead and start the Curves diet plan. Exercise alone is not producing much weight loss, so I started on Saturday. So I am busy planning meals, etc. Also, I am going to try making corned beef, potatoes and cabbage in honor of St. Patrick's Day on Tuesday. I will have to work that into my diet plan!

I am wearing... the usual: black sweats, t-shirt and my fleece sweater. It's just easier sometimes for me to get dressed in this as it motivates and reminds me to go to Curves.

I am creating... a new me! Please see: 'From the kitchen.' I would like to lose about 20 pounds.

I am going... to have a very busy week this week. See below.

I am reading... Mystic Sweet Communion by Jane Kirkpatrick (still!)

I am hoping... that my diet produces a couple of pounds lost this week!

I am hearing... the TV. The kids are watching Daniel.

Around the house . . . my husband and I are contemplating/brainstorming some ways in which we could better use the space in our home office (translated: computer desk area.)

From the schoolroom . . . . we are adding more to our Lenten Faith Folders each week. Not much new to report here. It's the homeschooling blues for me lately!

One of my favorite things . . . . my little daffodils all bloomed out in front of the house. The first signs that spring is near!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week (this is an exceptionally busy week for us! I don't know how everything happened in the same week, and I know I will regret being this busy):

• Speech Therapy for Lil Guhl

• Recreation Swimming

• Homeschool Support Group Meeting

• Young Rembrandt's Art Class

• The play "Goodnight Moon"

• Dentist appointments

• PE Class
  

• a field trip to an Art Studio with the homeschool group

• my brother's 40th birthday party!
  

• To the beach on Sunday!

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

We have a new student this week. His name is Livingston.
