Nicole's Daybook

Outside my window... it is a beautiful night.

I am thinking... about how we have so much planned this summer. It makes my head spin, especially since we are planning to start back to school at the end of July.

I am thankful ... that I am FINALLY getting the feeling back to my chin and lip. It's slow, but I am getting feeling. The only downfall is that it itches so bad that I wake up in the morning and it's sore from being scratched all night.

I am wearing... my jammies again. I actually was dressed today, but it was a long day and I am wiped out and needed to get comfy!

I am planning...  an anniversary weekend trip with my honey to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, a family trip to St. Louis, and a trip to Portland, Oregon, to visit my brother and help him paint his house (that doesn't sound fun, but I look forward to the visit anyway.)
 
I am creating... the CUTEST baby shower gift for my sister. It turned out so much cuter than I thought it would. I can't wait for her to see it!

I am going... to keep up with my good morning routine schedule, even though I am REALLY wanting to sleep in instead. I do feel so much more energized all day when I wake up a little early, get some exercise done, and shower and get ready to tackle the day. Energy breeds energy.

I am reading...  Home Front by Kristin Hannah (my very favorite author .. it's her newest book), The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (Dawson's daily read-a-loud), lots of books about plants with Brynne.

I am hoping... that Kyndal is able to spend some time in Owasso this summer with her friends. I think she needs a little Okie love.

From the learning rooms... After being pretty much off all last week due to Dawson's surgery, we are back at it hard this week! Dawson is doing dissections and Brynne is doing a big plant study. We are doing lots of reading and trying to keep our heads down and work hard. The end is so near!

Noticing that ... the nest on the back porch has been rebuilt and a mama is in it with her eggs. Can't wait to see new babies!

From the kitchen... all our favorites this week: spaghetti, meatball subs, stuffed peppers, burgers and fries, tacos.

Around the house... June Bugs are dying by the hundreds every night. Rick has to use the leaf blower every day to clean off our driveway and front patio. Gross!

One of my favorite things... rainy, lazy, Sunday afternoons, like this past one. I was cleaning while it was dark and rainy. It was perfect.

A few plans for the rest of the week... Tomorrow Dawson has a recheck with the surgeon. He has some yucky stuff coming out of his surgical site, so he is worried it is infected. After his appointment, we are stopping by Game Stop so he can pre-order the much-anticipated Halo 4. Tomorrow night Eli and Brynne have church musical practice. The rest of the week is pretty quiet, except for Saturday. We are planning to go to the zoo for their Earth Day celebration.

Flowers for no reason from my honey. It's made my day several times since I got them.



Lots of women Daybook. See what they have to say at The Simple Woman's Daybook.
