• The Simple Womans Daybook Monday 19 January 2009

  

  Outside my window……. It is cold and dark out yet and the snow is falling gently.  From the looks of things it has been falling all night.  I’m going to need to use the broom to sweep off my car before we leave for Mass this morning.  I knew it would snow since I have to take MK back to school this morning. 

  I am thinking………. that her vacation went by far too fast.  Why do our children have to go away from home?  I have so enjoyed having her home.  It is nice to have another woman in the house.  When she was young people would say that we needed more girls now I am enjoying having another woman her at home with me.

  I am thankful for……….. the lovely day that we enjoyed yesterday.  In spite of ending with a migraine (that’s why I didn’t call you back last night big guy) we had a beautiful day together yesterday.

  From the schoolroom……….. nothing.  I haven’t gotten Matthew up yet.  But he and Brett will be doing their spanish and biology without me this morning so I can take MK to get her groceries and then back to school.

  From the kitchen………. all is in readiness for whatever.  I think pork chops for supper tonight. 

  I am wearing………… dark blue long johns, blue night shirt and slippers.  Too early to get my shower and get dressed.  I don’t want to disturb the natives quite yet.

  I am creating……… completed scrapbooks.  I have Ian’s done and I think I can get Adam’s done today.  Not being able to do anything heavy has it’s advantages.

  I am going……….. to Mass then to take MK to get her groceries and then take her back to Moo’ville.  I have to keep reminding myself that I will see her on Friday.

  I am reading………. Bulletproof by Chuck Holton

  I am hoping………. that the snow doesn’t get any worse while I am out and that the roads over the hills are clear.

  I am hearing……….. silence and the sound of the bubbler in the fish tank.

  Around the house………. all is dark and still.  The only light is the screen on my laptop and the only sounds are the fish tank and my fingers on the keys.

  One of my favorite things………….. is waking up beside my husband and not having to jump right out of bed and get going.  Something that we got to enjoy yesterday morning.  Not easy to do when you are married to a farmer who gets up before 4:00 AM.

  A few plans for the rest of the week……….. my second graders tomorrow and holy hour, my fifth graders on Thursday, pick up MK and holy hour on Friday.  Maybe I can get the fleece I am making done and shipped to the big guy this week.  I’d like to do some other sewing also.  We have to start emptying the big room upstairs (my sewing room) so that Ian can move back in.  That will be a major chore.

  Here is a picture thought that I am sharing with you…………..

  

  We moved the daybed back upstairs so Lupus has to find somewhere else to sleep.  She has been spoiled since it was downstairs.  She loves to sleep with her humans.
