Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today

Febuary 1, 2010

Outside my window...
It is dark since I am up early my usual time during the week. But it is cold 32 this morning, by the thermometer on my kitchen window. But it isn't windy or storming so maybe it will be a beautiful day.
I am thinking...
Of how tired I am! But Ash and I had a wonderful weekend at the woman's conference and it is over...It turned out so wonderful and so many women loved it that made all the hard work we put into worth it.

I am thankful for...
Wonderful examples around me that I can learn from and grow from. The wonderful women who are strong but then humble. Who can see that bright side of everything even when all there is darkness.
From the learning rooms...
Back into Ancient Civilisations and getting back into the groove after a busy 3 days

From the kitchen...
I really hate to say it but I am so tired of food right now that this week will be the basics. Food just turns my stomach right now, the thought of it. I know I want veggies and fruit and that is all. Junk it seems is all we ate this weekend and my body and feeling it.
I am wearing...
My long tiered denim skirt and a black sweatshirt. My hair is still in my night braids, oh and I have a pair of hubby's long socks on to keep my feet warm.
I am creating...
At the moment nothing is coming to mind. I still have the 2 aprons on the sewing table to sew I need some coordinating fabric to go with them and I haven't been able to get to the store to get some.
I am going...
To try and get my mind and body back into the groove of life again. For some reason this whole weekend is really getting my system out of whack.
I am reading...
The scriptures
I am hoping...
Many things
I am hearing...
Total quiet.....well hubby is snoring in the far background in our bedroom but other than that nothing. The peace and quiet are lovely.
Around the house...
Nothing to much the weekend mess, lists for errands later this week, seed catalogs out for browsing through and choosing from this week....
One of my favorite things...
inspiring music...
A few plans for the rest of the week:
Ash to seminary today, FHE tonight, errands this week, scouts, dinner with friends, library trip, drink tons of water I feel so dry all over, let my husband know how much I appreciate him everyday.
Here is a picture for thought I am sharing...
This picture is from the special session of women's conference Friday night, our YSA slumber party. We all had a wonderful evening of inspirational talks, a night hike, movies, and of course food. We had 16 who came and about 135 came Saturday for the conference. It all worked out great.

  1. Hi Erika,
    Just a while ago I was telling my DH about the same thing you are thankful for. Praise God for godly women around us.

    Have a great week.

  4. Retreats are so wonderful for our spiritual life but while we are enjoying fellowship with other women, our normal eating and sleeping schedule is interrupted. I'm sure you'll be feeling better soon. I enjoyed your music.
