Daybook Entry...

I recently found out about this weekly meme called The Simple Woman's Daybook. I've got to admit that I'm not loving the title of this meme but I do like the idea...to linger on the simple things and find beauty of the everyday moments. I could stand to simplify by life a bit but in the meantime, this meme will have to do!

For Sunday, February 7, 2010:

Outside my window...a blue cloudless sky over a very green yard (it poured yesterday!)

I am thinking...about what to do with the boys today, a playground and some errands probably

I am thankful for...how lucky I am to have a healthy family with a roof over our head and everything we need

I am wearing...my pajamas because I'm still in bed (at 9:46 which is extremely rare for us)

I am remembering...my brother and wishing we could be sharing in each others' lives

I am going...to have to take a shower soon because I stink

I am currently reading...I just finished My Fathers' Daughter (a great book about an adopted women from Eritrea) and just started Food Rules

I am hoping...to stay in bed for the rest of the day but there is no way my family will let me get away with that

On my mind...Having recently watched Food, Inc. I keep thinking about the food that we eat and specifically how it is made, what it is made of and where it comes from

Noticing that...while I thought we eat semi-healthy I'm noticing that we could be doing a lot better

From the kitchen...Scott just made crepes with a hint of chocolate (hmmm...case in point about eating better?)

Around the house...I need to declutter. I've always said that when something comes into the house something else should leave but I haven't acted upon it

One of my favorite things...day dreaming about my boys and future daughters

From my picture journal...The boys got filthy at the park today and I decided they should get their bath before we did anything else for the day. They were not happy with this plan until I turned on the bubblemaker.
