Wednesday, April 23, 2008 The Simple Woman's Daybook Posted in Daily Life For Today Wednesday 23rd April 2008 Outside my Window The animals are awake & the day is beginning I am thinking -of all the things I've got to get done today & yes we have a fine day so I can get my washing up to date & hang on the line. I am thankful that clothes shopping for Abbey is nearly completed - I don't enjoy shopping & Abbey has learnt this too - so clothes shopping is well lets say not one of our favourite things. But we did good yesterday & she got some nice clothes. And was within her budget by $37.00 - Our kids get a clothing budget & have to live within their means - one of the best things Brent & I have ever done for our kids. We really want our kids to have good money management skills - hence we invest in the time to teach them. Here's looking at the beginning of her winter wardrobe - underwear, PJ's,  2 jeans, 2 tops &  jumper. From the Kitchen . Dinner tonight will be roast chicken with vegetables - unless Brent is working late - if so the kids & I will have a stir fry. I am Creating kitten pedigrees - one of my not so favourite jobs - admin work -have put off too log so  that is on my must do today I am going to try  take time to do some quilting - after helping Abbey begin her new embroidery project I am wearing me nightie, dressing gown & slippers cos I get up early I am reading Di Morrisey's book - Kimberley Sun sequel to Tears of the moon but got sidetracked reading Quick and easy scrap quilts I am hoping to get our house into better order - being out a lot seems to get me behind. I am  hearing silence except for birds. Abbey is asleep, James is awake early because it is school holidays - hence you don't sleep in & is on his e box he hired a new game. He wants to get his school work done before he goes to his friend Josh's house. Yesterday am he had me doing his spelling while I was eating my toast. I'm a mean mum & he can wait till 9am before I'm available otherwise I don't get my free time (IE blogging) or my chores done. Around the house -well blush it's messy - I am behind in doing my chores - but by the time Brent walks in to night ii will be a nice place for him to come home to. One of my favourite things  our animals. We all get a lot of joy out of the animals we have brought here - or who work out this is  good spot for a free feed. front left is the clever lamb who is safe from the pot - Lilly she is soo tame & has been granted pet status - just like Gerry the goose You might be able to see the Pukeko's  - dark blue just behind Gerry the Goose. • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend!
