Daybook for June 2
Hosted by The Simple Woman
FOR TODAY Mon. June 2, 2008…
Outside My Window…is SUN! Wonderful, sweet, happy sunshine. Yes, I am SO sick of the constant RAIN.
I am thankful for..A few more finished paintings. Coffee brewing, 10 and a half hours sleep (what is up with that?) time out with my husband yesterday, work to do, and that the kids are either still asleep (Rach) or playing quietly (the others), that the Wii has provided tons of entertainment and educational stuff but that the kids are still playing outside more than playing Wii.
From the kitchen…I smell my coffee–almost ready.
I am wearing…my long black Old Navy skirt with pockets (which is as common as jeans for me–it goes anywhere and has POCKETS), and a red t-shirt.
I am creating…Page 5 of the bunny book, the background of another book, a website for a friend, a less chaotic household–I hope.
I am going…to get some coffee–be right back.
I am reading…Romans, C.S. Lewis letters, the Dick-King Smith books the girls got out of the library.
I am hearing…whispers from upstairs, the air cleaner running, cars going by outside, myself typing.
One of my favorite things…A Chinese teacup full of paintbrushes and another full of inking pens and pencils.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:See if Rachel still needs a dentist appointment for the loose tooth that broke off instead of falling out–if it isn’t hurting and doesn’t look bad we need to wait because of her trouble with medication and her SJS. If it is infected or hurting we need an appointment. How come things like that ALWAYS happen on the weekend??? Otherwise cleaning, painting, and hopefully preparing for the yard sale and having it this weekend would be good.
Here is picture thought I am sharing…
I remember when I was very little. I bet I was 4 or 5. My mother has jet black hair and white as snow skin. She got it frosted (early 70’s) and when she came home, I cried and cried, “I want my mama…I want my mama”. My brain was not able to logically conclude she was still my mother. I don’t understand why that happened in my little mind. You would think I would be old enough to figure out she was still my mother with treated hair.
Thanks for your kind comments. Your art is lovely. Do you sell it? I will look around your blog as time allows. I’m busy spring cleaning before family comes home.
God bless you today.
You must be very talented. I think the Wii is a good thing, even has exercise included but it is good to be outdoors too. Its good for children to use their imaginations.
Your skirt sounds lovely. I like wearing long dresses and skirts in the summer.
Such a sweet picture of your boy there. Isn’t it sweet how they want to blow those seeds all over your lawn? LOL!
Actually, we don’t have dandelions here in FL. That was something new for me. We do have a weed that is quite similar; seems like it’s in the same family (same type of leaf and same shaped flower head and seeds), but is much smaller and less invasive. When we went to visit my sister in MN last spring, the dandelions were everywhere and my children (10 and 7 at the time) were thrilled and began blowing them all over someone’s beautifully cultivated boulevard garden! Everyone with us started shouting, “Noooooo!!!”
Loved the pic! 🙂 I love how kiddies instinctively enjoy simple pleasures.
Ah, the sun is SO beautiful today. Wish I could enjoy it outdoors, but its just wayyyyy to humid for me.
Btw, your new header looks great! Me and watercolor don’t mix because I’m so impatient and tire of the layering aspects some of the WC jobs I’ve received!
re:
Hopefully, I’ll have a chance to post some of my work soon. Yours is much better though!
Oh I know about dental emergencies and weekends. the number of times my youngest had to visit the emergency weekend dentist instead of our usual one, oh dear!
I’m late signing the linky for the daybook, but I have done it now.
I’ll trade you some sunshine for some rain! Love the dandelion wish photo!
I hope Rachel is okay. Ouch!
And I really like this idea. I may have to participate, if I can ever remember. That’s one reason I’m thinking that I need to quit losing my blog notebook. I’m sure it’s under one of the piles somewhere. 😉
