• The Simple Womans Daybook 14 December 2009

   

  Outside my window……..it’s dark but forecasted to get lighter.  In my nice cozy and warm house the cold of the outdoors doesn’t penetrate.  My husband was up well before everyone else putting wood into the furnace and making sure that we would be warm when we all crawled out from beneath the covers.

  I am thinking………about the busy week ahead and of all the upcoming fun to be had because Adam and the Big Guy are coming home this week.

  I am thankful for……..more than I can express right now, but among my greatest blessings are a husband who loves me, children who come home, friends who care, and family in general.

  I am wearing…….jammies!!!!! get used to it folks, if I don’t have to go anywhere then comfies are the uniform of the day around here.

  I am going…….actually I have to shower and change out of my comfies ’cause I have an appointment with Dr. Jim this morning and the chiropractor this afternoon then I have to take MK back to Mo’ville for her final exams.

  I am reading……..my English text, my online learning text, my math book.  Do we see a trend here?  Actually I am also trying to get in some time with my Christopher West book as well.

  I am hoping…….that my dad makes it through this Christmas.  He asked all of us to stay home and celebrate our Christmas’ the way that we normally would. Not to do anything out of the ordinary for him.  I think he wants us to always remember Christmas a the loving and wonderful family time that it has always been.  I pray that God gives that to him.

  Around the house……..it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.  We started to deck them halls last night.  All the country knick knacks were put away and out came the Christmas treasures.  The garland is up and some of the lights too.  The feeling of anticipation has entered this house.  I am beginning to feel like a kid again, that is never a good thing.

  One of my favorite things……..the way that the house feels and looks at this time of year.  It’s almost like a story book.

  A few plans for the rest of the week…….school for me, Matthew is off until after the holidays.  I would also like to finish a few sewing jobs and get them shipped off to their respective owners.  Then it is on to finishing the gifts that I have going.

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

  

  Matthew going through one of his drills at Karate on Saturday.

  

  They had testing last week and Matthew not only passed but he was commended as one of the most dedicated and hard working kids in the school.  The Shihon gave Matthew his respect.  That is a great thing ’cause he is a man who’s respect is worth having.
