The Simple Woman’s Daybook for March 10, 2014
FOR TODAY
Outside my window…it’s dark. Maybe a bit warmer, though.
I am thinking… about books on India. Do you have any suggestions for narratives set in India for a strong 9 year old reader who is interested in the country because of reading Amy Carmichael biographies? She wants to learn more about the culture, people, and land.
I am thankful… for my wonderful husband. He works so hard and does so much for our family.
In the kitchen… the groceries are unpacked and coffee is ready for the morning.
I am wearing…jeans and a new print top.
I am creating… plans for craft night with my sisters-in-law on Saturday. Need to come up with some tapas and wine …
I am going…to bed soon. It’s late and I should get up early.
I am wondering… how tomorrow is going to go. We did a slightly lighter day today – all work together – after a big weekend with late nights and the time change. Still had some melt-downs, but the zoo was good.
I am reading…Till We Have Faces and should work on some of those other ones on my list …
I am hoping… tomorrow goes well.
I am looking forward to… my nephew’s birthday party. He’s going to be 7!
I am learning… about first declension nouns in Latin. Fun.
Around the house…my family would appreciate some clean laundry. I need to figure out how to accomplish that while doing school. I struggle.
I am pondering… well, now, laundry.
A favorite quote for today…“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.” Ephesians 5:1
One of my favorite things… visits to my in-laws’. They are so wonderful and welcoming and we have so much fun there.
A few plans for the rest of the week…Titus 2 meeting, school, piano. Craft night!
A peek into my day…
Manatees! |

The only book set in India that comes immediately to mind is Gloria Whelan's Homeless Bird. I read it in library school 10+ years ago now, so my memory is sketchy. I'm not sure it's appropriate for a 9 year old, so definitely preview it. Whelan's is really a wonderful writer.
One of the Book a Week people recommended it, too. I had already put it on hold at the library and am just getting ready to pre-read. I hope it isn't too much because I'm having a hard time finding anything She's reading the YWAM Amy Carmichael book now …
