• The Simple Womans Daybook 21 December 2009

  

  Outside my window……the sun has set and it is in the teens out there.  We were missed by that snow storm that went through on the weekend, we only have a light dusting on the ground.  My poor son drove through it though.  What should have been a 12 hour trip turned into a 22 hour trip on friday night and saturday because of that storm.

  I am thinking……about all the things that are left to be done before Thursday along with all my schoolwork.

  I am thankful for……the family that I have close to me.  All my children are home for the holiday.  I don’t know how many more times this will happen as they get older but I savor every minute.

  I am wearing……navy sweat pants and navy tee shirt.  Almost time for this very tired mother to hit the hay.

  I am going……to bed tonight.  Tomorrow I have my last second grade class of the year and a holy hour.  I am looking forward to that time spent alone with the Lord.

  I am reading…….text books my friends, text books!!!!!

  I am hoping……that everyone who is traveling for this holiday gets to their destination safely.

  From the kitchen……the smell of the cookies that MK baked today and the spaghetti and meatballs that we had for supper.

  A few plans for the rest of the week…..finish the gifts that I am making, wrap the rest of my presents, finish the last section in math for the week and take my test.  I also have an essay due in English and one due in Online Learning.  I just have to take things slow and easy and I know that it will all get done.  Everyone is being so helpful.

  Around the house……all the decorating is done and everything is in readiness for the coming of the Christ Child on Christmas.

  One of my favorite things…….the pleasant sound of hearing the “rumble” of male voices rising up the stairs in the morning. 

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

   

  

  A reminder of what Christmas is all about.
