Daybook for Monday 12th January
Peggy over at the Simple Woman's Daybook hosts these daybooks, run on over for a look :)FOR TODAY
Outside my window... it's cold and sunny. :) Pretty typical January weather for around here. a little too cool for much outdoor study, I'm thinking we might do some feeder stuff ;)
I am thinking... about all the things I need to do today and this week. And my artwork, and the next lesson in my book...!
I am thankful for... a healthy family. It is so much nicer when the kids are not sick with a cold/cough :)
From the learning rooms... The new schedule is working well! My Living Memory book arrived, and I'll be setting up memory work today :)
From the kitchen... well the dental appointment last week skewed my dinner plans, so I am debating what to make for tonight. I think it will feature bread...
I am wearing... Jeans and a white blouse with black stripes. Very old socks (my new ones are being washed) and my hair is back with a crocodile clip. Or at least someting that looks like one!
I am creating... More art... still working through my book :)
I am going... to the grocery store. Otherwise maybe just a walk around the block!
I am reading... Still have my Victoria, Country Living BE, Food Matters by Mark Bittman (I'll review it once done) and my art book :)
I am hoping... to get everything on my list done today...
I am hearing... the kids playing, the radio and the birds chirping- they are quite noisy today :)
Around the house... ditto last week... A little laundry, a little cleaning and I still have those curtains :)!
One of my favorite things... finding a book on food that I agree with.
A few plans for the rest of the week: same as last... read, school- try to get things done.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
aren't these berries such a pretty shade of purple?

EDM #206: We Call It...
I call it a tap- DH calls it a faucet. It is on what I call my bathroom sink, and what DH calls a 'lavatory'!!

16 Things About Me!
Both David and Donna tagged me for my 16 :)
1. I was born and raised in England.
2. Like Donna, I was born blonde (well what little hair I had ;))
3. Although I am from England I don't like tea.
4. Likewise I dont like fish!
5. I started to wear glasses when I was 11.
6. I got an A* for G.C.S.E. art ;) (That is short for General certificate of Secondary Education- roughly equivalent to the SATs over here, and A* is more or less A+)
7. Even though I loved art, I took the 3 sciences for A' level.
8. Of the three I preferred biology- my favourite part being the drawing ;)
9. I went to college and started in biochemistry, switching to biology later when...
10. I met my husband online...
11. Quit college...
12. and moved here to the states to marry him.
13. It was my first time on a plane, and the furthest from home I had ever been.
14. I decided to homeschool when my husband told me of his terrible experience in Middle School.
15. I fell in love with learning again- especially Nature Study- which combines art and biology, and have been learning Latin alongside my son. I had always wanted to learn Latin!
16. I haven't been home in 10 years because of cost/kids/jobs/economy... you name it! I keep planning to do it though...
