THE SIMPLE WOMAN'S DAYBOOK

FOR TODAY ... September 28, 2009...

Outside my window...

We still have Humming Birds and they are feeding.

I am thinking...

How blessed I am . . . last week I went for my nine month check up for Cancer. The oncologist said everything looks good and should get test results back this week.

I am thankful for...

My husband, he makes me a better person.

From the learning rooms...

We are a day behind in The Mystery of History need to get caught up this week. I am LOVING our HIStory this year . . .

From the kitchen...

Roast in the crock pot for dinner tonight and then going to make beef soup for lunches latter in the week.

I am wearing...

A gray long sleeve cotton John Dear shirt, black Nike shorts and fuzzy grip socks. Hair pulled back in a messy bun.

I am creating...

The list of who we need to buy Christmas gifts for this year, A list of special things I would like to do with the girls around Christmas and what cookies we will be baking.

I am going...

To finish out this week on the diet I have been on. I have lost 27 lbs. so far. I want to get off another two this week if I can. A few plans for the rest of the week: I miss my last weeks Wednesday afternoon ladies bible study, it will be good to get back to it this week. Also I need to go get fabric for the girls poodle skirts that we need to get started making.

I am reading...

My Bible and Dee Brestin: A Woman of Confidence bible study

I am hoping...

Relaxing week of school and with the sunny weather . . . I want to get the girls Fall pictures taken.

I am hearing...

Pandora: David Nevue station

Around the house...

Need to iron some laundry I did Sunday and file away the stack of Sunday's Coupons

One of my favorite things...

Listening to my daughter play the piano. She blows me away at her ability to use the gift that God has given her.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

This past Friday night we went out to the GA Aquarium / World of Coke for a work/date night.

Here is a picture our daughter took before we left that afternoon.

Mummified Egyptian Princesses

This week in The Mystery of HIStory Vol.I we studied: Amenhotep IV, Nefertiti, King Tut and Ramses II. We did our notebook page summaries first, then took some time and each girl made a head peace. If they lived back in the 1300 BC this is what they think their mummy would have looked like. Her is it on our school room wall:

To end the week we made a cake of the geography of Egypt:

Friend Makin Monday

Do you use Craigslist?
What have your experiences been? Good or bad?
What was the best thing you've ever bought?
What was the best deal you ever sold?

Let me first state that my husband is the Craigslist junkie of the family. He has bought and sold so many things. Just to share a few: new laptop screen, 3 motorcycles (this would be our BIGGEST turn around items), aid compressor, sofa, dinning room table & chairs, cars, guns, tools, trailers, and a piano. My BIG deal was a chair and 1/2, along with the matching ottoman. Got it for $125, (retailed for over $500), it was a year old and never used.

The Mystery of History Vol.1

Last year we completed our 1st 4 year history cycle. Over the past 4 years we have used both Story of the World, My Father's World and Sunlight. I liked many things about both of them but wanted something more that started with a biblical view point. I have heard so many WONDERFUL things about Mystery of HIStory that I wanted to try it for a long time now. So this year as we starting over at creation, I thought that this would be the perfect time for the change. So let me share with you our timeline. We are now in the 7th/8th week of school. We average 3 history lessons a week.

Here is an over all picture of our timeline. We used a HUGE white form board that I got from Office Max for about $15.99. It fits nicely between two of our bookshelves.

Here are two up close pictures of the beginning (bottom) of the timeline. The girls water colored the days of creation. We use Amy Pack's time line figurine's with the summery. Also each of the girls keep their own timeline notebook. We use the one from Sunlight.

Here are the links to what we use:

Wanted to let you know also that we use the Audio CD (LOVE IT).

There is a yahoo group, they have so many great resources and here is a link to that: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MysteryofHistory1/
