My Wednesday Daybook

This is my own Cajun Cottage version of the Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my Window...it's too beautiful and tempting of a spring day to stay inside. After math and reading, we're headed outside. Perhaps a teatime picnic.

I am thinking. . . how blessed my life is.

I am thankful for. . . friends who call me from afar to share, discuss, counsel, and theorize why our teenagers do the things they do.

From the schoolroom. . .so we got the computer back from the repair guy only to have it work one hour and go back to the blue screen which really makes us blue. Our school work continues but we are sadly back to workbooks for our math lessons and puts us even further behind on our wonderful Teaching Textbooks lessons. That makes me even bluer. :o(

From the kitchen. . . this week we begin our Great Depression Cooking with Clara. Today's menu is Peppers and Eggs.

I am wearing. . . a pink top and blue jeans w/ brown penny-loafers

I am creating... a Mosaic-style book study to go with each of our Great Depression picture books and Stations of the Cross bags for CCD class.

I am going. . .to the library.

I am reading. . .The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila

I am hoping. . .my head stops spinning and my tooth problem is just a simple case of hidden swollen sinuses. Really need to get outside today.

I am hearing. . . girlish voices in the bedroom across from mine, a threatening cough, and the trash trucks picking up the weekly garbage.

I am praying...all the church parishioners I was made aware of last night upon visiting my sister-in-law in the hospital...taken from my prayer notebook:

• sister-in-law Jan (Annie's godmother) w/ double pneumonia
• Theresa R.'s son in hospital w/ heart condition
• Mr. T. in physical therapy for mini-stroke
• Mrs. A. in hospital w/ obstruction

Observing the Liturgical Calendar...Feast of the Annunciation today and presenting Stations of the Cross bags to my CCD class today.

Around the house. . . the bathroom remodeling is going slow...so slow, tables from yesterday's tea party are still in living area, heap of laundry to finish.

One of my favorite things. . . Spring! I really, really LOVE Spring and, being one of the lucky few who is not prone to allergies, I get to enjoy the loveliness without the crude.

A few plans for the rest of the week. . .

• Thursday: noon Mass and Mr. Gatti's w/ Catholic hs group followed by stations of the cross and playtime at friend's house
• Friday: basketball team over here to play in the afternoon
• Saturday: indoor swimming bday party, company Easter party
• Sunday: Garden Festival w/ 4-H, bridal shower

Here is picture thought I am sharing...table setting from yesterday's tea party, my cheerful yellow teapot given to me by this friend.

 

...and the lovely flowers brought to me by the beautiful daughters of this friend.
