Simple Woman

I feel kind of silly still doing these since the Simple Woman site is shut down for the summer. I’m not sure why I continue to link to it except we were asked to. At this point I guess I am really keeping it up because I enjoy doing these, and it makes a nice snap shot of my life every week, and because I miss it when I don’t. Maybe my kids will enjoy reading these in the future.

Outside my window…
The overcase and partly cloudy.

I am thinking…
still about my mother’s death but it has lessened somewhat this week.  I would really like to put this all behind me for a while, but we still have to take mom’s ashes out to the cemetery, I still have a few thank you notes to send AND there is the  matter of her life insurances and other accounts.  I think I am going to need to get an attorney just to help me through some of this stuff.

I am thankful for… good health and a thrifty husband.

From the learning rooms…we are in the big push to get work done before our assessment. It is REALLY difficult to do with all of the after-death stuff I have to take care of now as well. I CANNOT WAIT until that’s over – I need a break from homeschooling now as much as the kids do.

From the kitchen… The sanctuary society from church gave us a tray of lasagna! That was very nice and helpful because I was planning mac and cheese tonight – from a box. I know…

I am wearing…new black capris and a stripped old T-shirt I just threw on to work in.

I am creating… so peace and order to the balance of my mother’s estate, I hope.

I am going… to be doing more cleaning and organizing since my biggest client is off these next few weeks.

I am reading…
On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss
Mary Poppins which is much, much better than the movie!!

150 Bible Verses Every Catholic Should Know

I am hoping… that Mr. Pete has a safe trip when he goes to pick up our eBay car. I also hope that Calvin, steps to the plate as man of the house.

I am hearing… The air conditioner which actually masks the usual buzzing in my ears.

Around the house…same ole, same ole.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Make a dent in homeschooling, get some of this post-funeral paper work done and in the mail – get ready for my attorney’s appointment next week.
