THE SIMPLE WOMAN'S DAYBOOK

FOR TODAY

December 8th, 2008

Outside my window...it is biting cold. There is a low cloud cover and I have heard rumors that we might get some snow soon. I think our household would jump for joy and have the need for a snow party.

I am thinking...that I have been one big grouch today. I need to wake up happier tomorrow or my family might just entertain the thought of throwing me out the backdoor. I will get happy...I will get happy...I will get happy.

I am thankful for...my family. They love me in spite of my moods.

From the learning rooms...a few more days until Christmas break. And boy howdy are we ready!!!

From the kitchen...came turkey, boiled potatoes and canned peaches for dinner. I haven't yet thought about tomorrow's breakfast. Maybe Oatmeal Cake...maybe French Breakfast Puffs...for sure something baked and hot.

I am wearing...once again...night clothes. I am sitting in bed, just as I did last Monday night.

I am creating...a new blog look and I'm lovin' it.

I am going...to put up Christmas decorations tomorrow with the help of my children. We found the Christmas CD's today so we will put on the tunes and decorate, decorate, decorate.

I am reading...not much these days. I have been correcting schoolwork. Does that count as reading?

I am hoping...that the movie FIREPROOF will be viewed by millions. Tim and I watched it yesterday with several friends from our church. Excellent movie. It hit on some hard marriage issues and presented the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I recommend it to every married couple.

I am hearing...Cayla and Lucas getting ready for bed. No Johnny Cash this week...my CD player broke. I am very sad because I have Christmas music that I would love to play right now.

Around the house...Justin and Matthew are hanging out together in the living room and all others are sleeping or are at least on their way.

One of my favorite things...is being pregnant and feeling the baby move. There is nothing like it in the world. I love being pregnant and I love the thought of new life. Only 99 more days til my due date. And as a side note...I think we may have decided on a name. I'll letcha know as soon as I get the okay from Tim.

A few plans for the rest of the week...

Tuesday~Christmas decorations, a trip to the library and taking Matthew to see Jayne. He needs to go see her in a bad way!!! Wednesday~midwife appointment and grocery shopping.

Thursday~not much happening. Friday~church prayer meeting at Kyle and Jodie's.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

This is not the picture I had intended to post. I must have hit the wrong button. But I like it and so it stays. Tim took this picture of a beautiful Washington sunset. He was probably on horse back when he took it...up in the high country. I believe that is Mt. Adams covered in snow.
