Simple Woman’s Daybook Monday 1 December 2008
Outside my window….. it is rainy and windy. The temp is 35 and it is not going to get any warmer. Looks like another dreary day. The weather is sad that the kids have all left too?
I am thinking…… that I should be writing out Matthews plans for the day so that he can get started with his school work. I should also be starting the laundry and getting the kitchen cleaned up.
I am thinking…… what a great time I had last week. It was so good to have the house almost full. I am looking forward to Christmas vacation when they will all be home again. To quote my friend Ellen, “you are going to have the holiest Advent, between looking forward to having them all home and having surgery. God is truly blessing you.” She couldn’t be more right.
From the schoolroom……. Matthew is getting out his school books. I think it is a big hint that it is time for me to swing into action.
From the kitchen……. cereal for breakfast, maybe toasted cheese for lunch and pork chops for supper.
I am going…… to pick up Brett for Spanish and Biology, to take Matthew shopping this afternoon after school is over, and to pick up Ian so he can use my car in between.
I am reading…… A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens It is my annual Advent reading. It is also one of my favorite storys.
I am hoping…… the weather stays nice for my drive to Syracuse Thursday. Need to go for a CT scan to measure for hardware for my back.
Around the house….. MK left it pretty clean this weekend that here is hardly anything to do. I think we will do a little dusting later and get the wood box filled and sweep the kitchen and then we will be done.
A few plans for the rest of the week…… complete my contributions for the craft sale at church, purchase and wrap the gift for the giving tree, finish buying the items for the boxes for the troops, get out the Christmas ornaments in preparation for doing some decorating on Sunday.
A picture thought that I am sharing with you………..
Thanksgiving day at our friends house. Matthew, Jonathan, Juliana, and Mary-Kate. They are all barely tolerating me taking their picture. Actually they are just behaving. A moment before they had all been wrestlinig with each other. They are all good friends and have a good time together.

I’m delighted that your Thanksgiving was such a success! Good friends make all the difference, don’t they?
Haven’t forgotten to keep you in prayer regarding your back surgery.
I wish I knew your son better. I’ll be about 40 miles from him later in the week! (He’s at Fort Riley, no?)
@MlleRobillard - He is indeed at Fr. Riley. I wish I was going to be with you. It would be so fun to surprise him. I will keep your trip in my prayers. May you be successful and may Ashley be at peace while you are gone.
