The Simple Woman’s Daybook~February 3rd

The Simple Woman’s daybook is one of my favorite blog memes to do. I always get lots of comments, visits, and encouragement when I write it. My daybook always combines little parts of my everyday life. Sometimes I feel like my life takes on such a hectic pace. Blogging about my week helps me to see what my week is like, and maybe figure out how to slow things down a bit. So I hope that you enjoy this post. And join in with the Simple Woman’s daybook as well.

Outside my window… It is starting to snow. So much for the groundhog’s prediction!

I am thinking… That I am ready for baseball season to start. Believe it or not, we start practice at the end of this month, and I am looking forward to it.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate. And I am also thinking that I really don’t want to go shopping for a new car, but we really can’t wait much longer.

I am thankful… I am thankful that my new job allows me to be home on the weekends with my family!  I am also thankful that Nana is getting stronger everyday!  Also thankful for 2 boys that are doing extremely well in school!

In the kitchen… This will be my third week in a row of planning and making meals. Come back tomorrow to see my Menu Plan Monday post.

I am wearing… Still in my pj’s. My youngest is sick, so I am staying home with him while DH and DS#1 go to church.

I am creating… An organized house, at least I hope to. I managed to clean out 3 cabinets in the kitchen that were absolute disasters, and boy did I feel like I accomplished something.

I am going… To tackle my to-do list, and not just talk about it. I also want to work on more blog posts, including reading and writing more Simple Woman’s daybooks.

I am wondering... If Spring will make an early appearance this year. Considering there is an inch of snow on the ground, I am not too sure.  The groundhog says so, but I don’t think I believe him.

I am reading… Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. And yes, it’s because I want to see the movie next weekend.

I am hoping… That things will slow down before baseball season starts back up.

I am looking forward to… Just being with my family. And making our home a haven.  I am starting to look forward to vacation in June, and hopefully a road trip in July.

I am learning…That life is short, you have to make the most of it before it’s too late.

Around the house… Just trying to keep things presentable. Making sure I am making the beds daily, and that the sink is empty. It really makes a big difference. And doing at least one load of laundry a day. I am also trying to keep up with ironing.

I am pondering… About several things.  In a previous daybook post, I talked about making a change.  I did make that change.  Here’s the catch: it has made this harder financially on our family.  I feel guilty because the hours really work well for me, physically & emotionally.  I am happy at work now, something I haven’t in a long while.  But like I said, it’s made it harder on my hubby because I don’t make as much as I used to.  So while I love my new position and new hours, I would be selfish to keep doing it if it is making it harder on him.

A favorite quote for today… “Can we play????” Wait, didn’t I say that in my last post?

One of my favorite things… Days off with hubby, cuddling on the couch and just relaxing together

A few plans for the rest of the week:
