Daybook, Monday May 4

FOR TODAY

Outside my window... beautiful, blue California day

I am thinking... about the learning records I need to finish for tomorrow.

I am thankful for...a husband who enters into my interests with the enthusiasm of a good friend.

From the learning rooms... School work is all done, the table has coloring materials on it still from our history narration of Viking burial traditions and from our mapwork.

From the kitchen... baking chicken, something that I can prepare and pop in the oven before I leave with Meg for Irish Dance- again, last week it was a big hit. I just dip it in egg, then flour mixed with onion soup dry mix, then pour a can of chicken noodle soup over the top, bake.

also baking some vanilla cupcakes. From a box mix, easy and crowd pleasing.

I am creating...playing with blog stuff and ordering business cards for CBC10.

I am going... to Starbucks while Meg is at Irish Dance, I will work on some blog stuff.

I am reading...

Getting Organized in the twitter age,
Wordpress for Dummies,
Dancing with My Father by Sally Clarkson

I am hoping... that I won't be up too late tonight working on learning records.

I am hearing... pages turning as the girls do some quiet reading.

Around the house... the house was spotless Sunday night for the Bible college boys dinner, mostly it is still very clean, except the kitchen looks like it has exploded for some reason, and we have books and papers all over the learning table still.

One of my favorite things... cinnamon pear jelly. It almost makes the gluten free bread not taste weird.
almost.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Learning record tomorrow with our charter school teacher, Meg has a violin recital this weekend. I need to pick the princess party pack winner and post it on the blog.

Pondering these words:

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."
-Audrey Hepburn

At 8:46 AM, Natalie said...: I really love your post! I may have to try it - it seems like it really makes you stop and think about what is really important. Found you on BlogFrog...I'm your newest follower :)
At 9:11 AM, Lori said...: I just love what you have shared for today. So this is a meme, right? It's so awesome how you've created a little memory of what you're doing, feeling, and your almost everything about today. I'm going to borrow your intro into each sentence and use that as a creative writing assignment. My daughter will love completing the sentences. She keeps a journal and it has really helped her in developing her writing.
I'll have to participate in this on my blog. Thanks for such a fun and unique post...I just love it!
At 8:21 PM, Patricia said...: Great quote from Audrey Hepburn. She was a lady with class.

the daybook is a really nice meme, I enjoy sitting down to think about my day and writing about it. click the red link at the bottom of the post to go to the host page for this.

and, thanks for following! My heart jumps when I see a new one! I just put that widget up a few months ago, so it's still a new thrill for me!
At 10:27 PM, Hen Jen said...: Lori,

yes this is a meme, I wasn't creative enough to come up with all these soothing sentence starters. Click the red link at the bottom of the post, under the photo, to jump over to the host site for the meme.

I hope you join up!

you are right, it would make for a good journal starter, I never thought of that.

thanks for visiting Lori, I appreciate your visits and look forward to your insightful comments.

blessings to you this week

At 4:42 AM, Lizzie said...: Love the daybook though I have yet to do a day on my blog. Chicken sounds good, have you tried with with the Hidden Valley Ranch mix? One of my favorites, also good in meatloaf and chicken salad. :)
Have a wonderful Mother's Day Jenny!
