Simple Woman’s Daybook
Posted By Jacque on February 8, 2010
Outside my window… The Winter is just not going away yet. I will be posting snow, snow, snow as long as we are here.
I am thinking… about the warmer weather that will be wherever we will be going.
I am thankful for… knowing that I can’t add to his plan and I can’t take away, but that he is doing the working in our lives at this time.
From the Learning Rooms … This part is honestly hard for me. It’s either regular boring old way of learning, like math and grammar workbooks or it is too hard to define as they experience it through reading, cooking, cleaning, helping, applications in the home…
*Littles: Nothing but life. I need to make a new plan for them to have some worksheets.
*Middles: Religious studies: Life applications in Judaism and different sects of Jews. The usual life application math and science. Planning and application of plans.
*Older: Religious studies: Lifeapplications in Judaism and different sects of Jews. Planning and application of plans.
From the kitchen… We already got to eat the last of Rachel’s homemade pretzels. I am trying to find out what she has planned for dinner.
I am wearing… Sage green short sleeve top with a gardening picture on it that says “Stress Relief”, black long skirt, black short socks, and my brown shoes.
I am creating… index cards with individual To Do lists for the Littles. The older children are making their own lists that we are going to meet and discuss.
I am going… to be home. All day, all night.
I am currently reading… blog articles on the Talmud/Mishnah, the Halaka, the Amidah, etc. I started looking up the difference between the Polish and Israeli Jews, because my Great-Great-Grandfather was a Jew who came over from Poland. Matt spoke to the Israeli Embassy today in Chicago, and the gentleman he spoke with mentioned the difference, so as a good home school mom, I decided it was good for history study. : )
I am hoping… the weather will get up to about 60′ and we will be able to have a garage sale next week and sell all of the stuff we will not be moving. Yes, I am hoping BIG.
I am hearing…. Hannah, Caleb and Isaac playing Uno with Phase 10 cards and Matt cutting drywall and screwing it onto the wall.
On my mind…. How long will it take us to leave, and will our home be sold before we go?
Noticing that… Samuel must be going through his 3 month growth spurt, because he is sleeping a lot today.
Around the house… doing last-minute things as long as we are here.
One of my favorite things… an accomplished day that ends with putting our Littles to bed and a nice hot cup of mint tea, served in a real tea cup.

That is a *very* sweet picture! And that is funny that they were playing Uno with Phase 10 cards, because we play Skip Bo with Phase 10 cards : D

Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog! The reason that I did the SWD was because I so love reading YOURS! My favorite thing about your family is how much you are a team, all working together to make life run smoothly. I pray that my children will grow to be as close as yours seem to be.
I would love to hear more about your homeschooling. I notice that a lot of the veteran hs mom’s don’t talk about curriculum (probably tired of the topic, right? ha ha), but I would just love to know what your days generally look like. Are you one-on-one with each child regularly or do they only come to you with questions? I know that you are in a different season in life right now, so the book work probably isn’t high on the priority list.
God bless your week, Jacque!
