A Simple Woman's Daybook for today...December 1, 2008
Outside my window...it's dark and raining. I'm cheating and doing this on Sunday night. I anticipate the morning to be busy and I need to limit my computer time. I love going to bed listening to the sound of rain and love waking up to the sound of rain.
I am thinking...of everything that needs to be done in the next few days, especially tomorrow!
From the learning rooms...a teacher work day tomorrow and hopefully a normal week after that, we are finishing up our study of Mexico.
I am thankful for...a safe trip home, we drove all the way in the rain--that always makes me nervous. Also, for a great visit with my great aunt and other extended family and my mom, dad, and sister and her family. It's always fun to see them. I am also thankful for a funny mom who is also an amazing ballerina. :0)
From the kitchen...I'm thinking chili tomorrow. Who knows what else. I have to make a grocery list tomorrow and get to the store.
I am wearing...pjs of course.
I am reading...I think I will be starting a Mrs. Pollifax book next. I read "The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes" while in Alabama. Great book!
I am hoping...for a special, meaningful holiday season with my kids.
I am creating...a festive, fun house for the holidays.
I am hearing... the rain and that's it. The family is asleep and I really should be too!
Around the house...I'm in the middle of decorating. I went a little crazy tonight and unpacked, cleaned the living room, and started decorating. I petered out halfway through though. All of this after getting up at 4:30 this morning and driving 9 hours to get home.
One of my favorite things...my Jim Shore nativity set. I love his work. Beautiful and colorful and all folksy.
A few plans for the rest of the week...shopping tomorrow, making cards, tree lighting at the library, Christmas walk downtown, Christmas parade, getting a tree, finish decorating, have a Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate.
Here is a picture thought I'm sharing...

I love the first week of December! Our town is doing all those wonderful tree lighting and parade events, too. I hope the teacher has a productive work day.
God bless you, Tiffany, you've certainly been busy!! May God bless you and keep you in His perfect peace throughout this Holy Season.
Love the picture of your little ones...though they're probably a bit bigger now!
Hello Tiffany~
All your Christmas plans sound wonderful and that picture is just too cute! We're looking forward to some holiday events in our hometown next week.
