The Simple Woman's Daybook

THE SIMPLE WOMAN’S DAYBOOK
FOR TODAY MARCH 2, 2009


Outside My Window...the sun has set, ALL the snow is melted, and it is about 50 degrees.


I am thinking...and wondering about my mom. I am about to have a baby in a couple of weeks and I wonder what it will be like without my mom. She has severed our relationship and I wonder what emotions I will feel at the birth of our son.


From the learning rooms…things are being accomplished. Although, we are preparing to take a few weeks off to get ready for Samuel and company coming. It is a nice time to take a break as spring (I think) is soon to arrive.

I am thankful for...my new furniture and my most wonderful husband who bought it for me. And another big PRAISE GOD!!! We paid cash!



From the kitchen...we had a Mexican casserole for dinner (made by my great friend, Kendra). An apple pie is on the counter cooling down awaiting the kids to finish up their schoolwork.


I am wearing...a black dress and my slippers. Not looking too great, but I am comfortable.


I am going...about the house these days in great anticipation of having a baby. So many thoughts flood my mind...How will labor and delivery go? What time of the day will this child enter our world? What is he going to look like? How big will he be? What will his cry sound like? What will the kids think? Will he be our last? How will Larah adjust to not being our "baby"?...the list of questions goes on and on.


I am reading...Mother.


I am hoping...my sister and her husband are having a great time in Napa Valley. I miss talking to her, but am so glad the two of them were able to get away together...alone.


I am hearing...Lucas and Cayla at the kitchen table working on school work. Katie and Larah in the living room playing. Katie is being fairly quiet while Larah is being VERY loud. Imagine that.


Around the house...things are in somewhat of an order. We need to do some deep, spring cleaning but for the most part everything is organized. All of Samuel's clothes are washed and folded. Now I just have to find a place to put them as I don't have a dresser for him yet. The carseat and diaper bag are ready to go.


One of my favorite things...is a spur-of-the-moment lunch with a friend. I was blessed with such today.



A few plans for the rest of the week...a dentist appointment for three kids, a midwife appointment, grocery shopping, more spring cleaning, school with the kids, a trip to the library, and AWANAs.


Here is picture thought I am sharing... Larah is learning to dress herself. I think she needs some serious fashion help!!!
