Day Book, First Week of May 2009

Outside my window ...

a robin has made a nest on a rack on the back of our shed. There are two little blue eggs in it.

I am listening to...
the boys planning / discussing / arguing whatever escapade they are up to this afternoon.

To be healthy and happy...
we took a walk during baseball practice.

I am thankful for ...
Arch's good results on his standardized test.

From the kitchen ...
New Orleans Bread Pudding to use up some leftover bread from the Holy Name breakfast.

I am wearing ...
a pink shirt and brown skirt.

I am creating ...
a more organized pile of chaos.

On my iTunes...
the Pledge of Allegiance to music. Arch has to learn it to sing at the National Day of Prayer on Thursday.

Bringing beauty to my home ...
hmmmm.

I am reading ...
The Penderwicks, aloud to the boys at bedtime.

I recently watched ...
Monk Season 6 discs one and two. Waiting to disc three to arrive in the mail.

I am hoping and praying ...
that it does not rain on Niagara Square at noon on Thursday.

On keeping home ...
I am weeding out old stuff from my planner.

One of my favorite things ...
are old cookbooks for 49¢at the thrift store. I just picked up one called Thoughts for Buffets which is just chock full of cool menus and recipes.

A few plans for the rest of the week...
include Arch's first baseball game, BamBam's last story hour. A trip to Buffalo for the National Day of Prayer and a visit to the Central Library.

Picture thoughts

My tulips. Lovely.
