Daybook!

FOR TODAY, Tuesday, October 4, 2011

Outside my window... the skies are supposed to be clear today... they're getting started on that. :) We'll have more warm fall weather this week, sun too, which will be a blessing after the large amounts of rain we've had. There's hay to make!

I am thinking... about my daily life... about implementing a schedule of sorts... a flexible one as my work days vary.

I am thankful for... those pesky ants are still around! The exterminator lady said $125 to come out to the house. Ouch. Back to the hardware store for me! (I am no longer thankful for those ants, haha). I'm thankful for my baby, who is one week closer to being a year old, and I am thankful for seeing the world through his eyes.

From the kitchen... easy meals this week because I'm helping with evening milkings. I made a cheesy chicken noodle casserole to take to my cousin who just had a baby.

I am wearing...scrubs and a sweatshirt

I am creating... a redecorated house! My husband and I are on a roll... lets hope the progress continues! Also working on ideas for Matt's birthday party.

I am reading... "Words that hurt, words that heal" by Carol Mayhall. It's our new Bible study book for this fall.

I am praying... 

     -Praying for our church building, which has a mold issue. Work began yesterday to fix it.

     -Praying for little Sophie, 2 years old, who has brain cancer

     -Praying for my brother who is spending 5 weeks in Europe. He's about 4 weeks into the trip and is homesick (although he's having a great time). 

I am hoping... to find a good deal on ground beef, or for my in-laws to schedule another steer for butchering. We have one pound of beef left. Think we're cutting it a bit close! (Don't worry, we have other food in the freezer.)

Around the house... last night I cleaned out a closet in anticipation of furniture rearrangement once my mom arrives. Today I need to clean off the huge shelf/rack that is going into the closet.

One of my favorite things... sermons designed for me

 

Pondering these words... "Anything, anywhere, anytime, Lord."

 

A few plans for the rest of the week... being more of a farm wife (my in-laws are headed to World Dairy Expo so I will be helping more around the farm than I usually do), meeting my cousin's newborn baby today!, awaiting my mom's arrival (Saturday), and enjoying an autumn party Saturday, too. Sunday we'll be worshiping with our church family in a different location as our church is being "fixed."

A picture thought I'm sharing... You can see the window seat
