Simple Woman’s Daybook Monday 22 December 2008
Outside my window……… it’s cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the wind is blowing all the snow that fell over the weekend all around and it makes one reluctant to go out. It’s not fit for man nor beast out there. Poor Matthew just came in from doing his chores.
I’m thinking………. it’s a good day to stay inside and stay warm by the fire and rest and heal. Maybe get my minions to clean this place up in preparation for Christmas.
I am thankful for…………. all of you Xangans who have been praying for me and for my recovery. Keep it up. This is a painful one. Bricker, I’ve been thinking about you a lot and you are my new hero.
From the schoolroom…………….it is closed down until next week. The teacher is under the weather and the students have other things to do.
From the kitchen…………PObrien is washing up his breakfast dishes and Matthew is tapping away on the keys of his computer. He needs to use the shower before I get the others up.
I am wearing………….. black tank top, black long johns, blue nightshirt (MK isn’t up yet to help me wash and get dressed and hubby had to go to work today)
I am creating…………… healing for my body, I hope!!! I think I will work on more scrapbooks today.
I am going………….to Mass this morning and then back to bed. I had to get permission for that much and I am doing my best to follow the rules.
I am reading………… Killer Heat by Linda Fairstein
I am hoping……….. that by Christmas Day I can be comfortable enough to make it to two Masses and stay awake for the day’s festivities.
I am hearing…………Matthew and PObrien moving around in the dining room. I’m hanging out by the Christmas tree because it smells so good and makes me happy and hopeful.
Around the house…………all is quiet. MK and Jason are still in bed. I need to do my daily trip up the stairs to wake them and get myself cleaned up and dressed.
One of my favorite things………….Christmas trees. We put ours up yesterday and decorated it.
A few plans for the rest of the week………………… rest, heal, and Christmas.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you…………….
Getting the perfect tree. They let me come along and sit in the car and watch. My husband said he didn’t know how much I would be able to see. The joke was on him since he forgot my camera with the precision zoom. I think I did very well indeed.

Rest, heal, enjoy, and be grateful.
I am so happy it all went well, and that you are home and able to share with us.( And some people think prayers don’t work!)
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas. I have no doubt you will.
Love that pic!!
Big smile and a VERY careful hug!
I’m so happy to hear that you’re home and doing better. I will continue lots of prayers (we include you in our nightly rosary with the kids) that you heal and are 110% when it’s all over.
Merry Christmas. That photo would make a great Christmas card. Hope you feel better!
Good to have you home! Just take it easy and don’t think you are super woman with this surgery. Blessings!

wish I could be there to help and to hug you. Glad that you were able to get out for the tree cutting. Happy the PObrien is there. Praying for you as you recover.
